As well as just being a really, really powerful weapon, Iris has the unique effect of building up a charge which, when expended, delivers a massively powerful strike with a knockdown effect even stronger than Aard - but at the cost of a portion of the player's health. In much the same vein as the Feline swords, the blades of the Manticore witcher gear set (only available with the Blood and Wine DLC) are strong contenders for the deadliest weapons out there - but unlike their Feline companions, the Manticore swords are only available in their Grandmaster form - which means they certainly aren't an early-game option.īut once you're up to Level 40, you'll be hard pushed to find better than these two fantastically armor-piercing blades, which - alongside a huge boost to critical hit damage - can deliver some of the most punishing blows in the entire game.Ī Relic-tier sword available only with the Hearts of Stone DLC, Iris is solidly at the top of most Witcher 3 players' best steel swords tier lists. Once you hit Level 17, the basic Feline swords will almost certainly be your best possible choice of weaponry - and even with the other legendary blades in this list, the Mastercrafted and Grandmaster Feline swords are strong contenders for the overall deadliest weapons out there. The Feline swords make for an excellent recommendation whether you're in the early-game or the late-game. It also doesn't hurt that if you were to equip all Feline gear, you'll also benefit from some very potent damage boosts as well. Feline swords (Steel & Silver)Īn extremely solid gear set (as you'll know if you've read my The Witcher 3 armor & gear guide), the Feline witcher gear features an array of extremely powerful swords with a focus on high damage, critical hit chance, and bleed chance. You won't find anything better until you head into Velen and Novigrad. These two swords boast higher stats across the board than most weapons you'll be able to find this early on, and they also both provide a decent chance to poison enemies with each hit. Just head to the Cemetery to the north of the Mill signpost for the silver blueprint, and the Castle Ruins to the west of the Ransacked Village signpost for the steel blueprint. The very best starter swords on offer, and the first gear set that you will actually be able to unlock, the Viper swords can be very quickly found and crafted without ever leaving White Orchard.
So as well as listing the most potent blades Geralt can ever hope to equip during his odyssey, I've also laid out one or two early-game options for those who are wondering how best to step up their swordplay. Even if you manage to find or craft it, you'll be nowhere near the level required to wield it. A quick word before we jump right into our The Witcher 3 best swords list: because of how weapons and gear in The Witcher 3 works, you can't just go after the very best sword in the game from day one.
