Some would argue that it is unbalanced. Almost every sword has a counter measure that you can take to combat it.
--The illumina somewhat counteracts the Darkheart's massive damage count (need a citation on this one, but I am pretty sure this is true)
--Firebrand protects you from being frozen by an Ice Dagger
--Firebrand is technically the weakness of the Illumina since it is so long and Illumina is kinda short
--There are health packs and healing pads to save you from the venomshank
--The Dark Heart's healing abilities will also (basically) cancel out the Venom Shank's poisoning
-- Illumina makes people using either the shadow stone or Ghost walker light up with sparkles
I guess the only sword besides the linked sword that does not have a natural bane is the Windforce. |
