The best One-Handed Sword: Windfalke
The Windfalke is by far the best One-Handed Sword in the current game.
These are the base stats: The Windfalke comes with a high base attack value of 48 and a physical damage bonus.
This is the weapon’s special ability: The special ability increases your ATK value by 20%. Additionally, you heal for 100% of your ATK value and deal damage in the surrounding area equal to 200% of your ATK value when you take damage. This effect has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
This way, you not only deal good single-target damage but also high area damage every 15 seconds when taking damage. The regular healing makes your hero a resilient fighter.
The second-best One-Handed Sword: Skyward Blade
The Skyward Blade is slightly weaker than the Windfalke but still brings good attributes.
These are the base stats: The Skyward Blade comes with a base attack value of 46 and a recharge rate bonus.
This is the weapon’s special ability: The special ability of the Skyward Blade increases your CRIT rate by 4%. When using an elemental ability, your movement and attack speed increase by 10% for 12 seconds, as does your damage from normal and charged attacks by 20%.
In combination with elemental abilities, the Skyward Blade is therefore a good choice and gives you a decent damage boost.
