PvE

For all possible perks, check out Steel Sybil Z-14 over on light.gg

The Steel Sybil is a re-issue of the Crucible sword from the launch of Forsaken back in Season 4. The perks are the same as they’ve always been so unfortunately this Season (Season 11) will be about (re?)chasing your best roll from the past nearly two years. Whomp whomp.

Fortunately the perk set is very small and chances are you’ll get the roll you’re after relatively quickly? When you do, rejoice! That roll will keep you all the way through Season 14.

“But Slif, Falling Guillotine is void and is way better DPS. Why would I keep a Steel Sybil around?” Great question, let’s turn it over to Joe:

Futureproofing if they better differentiate the role of the two frames. But given the small sword perk pool, it’s never really been hard to scrounge up a serviceable weapon at the time you need it. I’d imagine guillotine will become better for wide damage, sybil better for single target. But as of today, you only need guillotine.

Note that swords only have one possible Masterwork (Impact) hence the appearance of “any MW will do” in the wishlist; which isn’t really the case :)

• (PvE) Sustained DPS 🗡🗡🗡 Collector’s Edition - 2.7% chance: With Whirlwind and Relentless you’ll be slicing for what seems like forever. C/o this analysis, Jagged Edge is the clear choice for the first column, but you’ll want to make sure your reserves are increased in armor. Heavy Guard sacrifices Charge Rate and massive increased all the other important sword stats, but that’s fine because Charge Rate is such a compressed stat you won’t notice the difference.

  Barrels [ 40%]: Jagged Edge
  Mags    [ 40%]: Swordmaster's Guard
  Perks 1 [ 50%]: Relentless Strikes
  Perks 2 [ 33%]: Whirlwind Blade
  MWorks  [100%]: *
  

• (PvE) Sustained DPS 🗡🗡 (Minus Magazines) - 6.7% chance: Same as the CE, minus Heavy Guard. That’s OK because you won’t be doing all that much defending while slicing away with your sword.

  Barrels [ 40%]: Jagged Edge
  Mags    [100%]: *
  Perks 1 [ 50%]: Relentless Strikes
  Perks 2 [ 33%]: Whirlwind Blade
  MWorks  [100%]: *
  

• (PvE) Sustained DPS 🗡 (Baseline) - 16.7% chance: You really only need these two to do phenomenal amounts of sustained damage and fortunately they’re pretty easy to find!

  Barrels [100%]: *
  Mags    [100%]: *
  Perks 1 [ 50%]: Relentless Strikes
  Perks 2 [ 33%]: Whirlwind Blade
  MWorks  [100%]: *
