Notes

  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The Sword Beam projectile has a cooldown of 1 second.
    • While the cooldown is active, the player can neither switch items, look in another direction, nor utilize Auto Select, but they can continue swinging the sword.
    • A small particle effect and the sound for restoring mana will notify the player of a recharged Sword Beam.
  • The Frostbrand, an alternative to the Beam Sword, can pierce an enemy (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) once with its projectile, but its damage and swing speed are lower.

Trivia

  • (Old-gen console version) The Enchanted Sword could be statistically considered a direct upgrade to the Enchanted Sword, given that it also lacks autoswing, and has a low use time, however it lacks the 30% size increase from recent updates, and has double the cooldown.
