pandapaxxy (M+KB / PvE): "The key to this sword is Eager Edge. Using this perk makes you go incredibly fast after taking this sword out (does go away pretty quick), but is a legendary way of Worldline Zero skating. It is incredibly fun; which is half of what video games are for, right?" Recommended MW: Impact.

[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Impact] "My god, please let Eager Edge stay as-is. Please. I'm not recommending any perk other than Eager Edge, because without it, Bequest is just straight up better in every way. Don't let anyone call you a Blue Sword Noob - you're a man of refined taste, an individual, a man who respects the ammo economy with Relentless Strikes, or is constantly fueling Super with Thresh. This is clearly a conscious choice."

Community wishlist roll

PvE PvE-God PvE-MinorSpec Controller MKB 4 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 30. PvE first-choice roll for general content as a beefier add-clear weapon. Boost damage with the Blade and Swordmaster's Guard boosts the charge rate for heavy attacks. Then Relentless Strikes helps with ammo economy or Relentless triggers health regeneration in a crowd, and Chain Reaction is a tonne of fun while clearing adds. Recommended MW: Impact, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major, or Taken Spec) mod.
