Harbinger in-game description

This sword, also deemed the "Oppressor," was created as the prototype of a certain black magic blade. Is the mock-up inferior to the final creation? Take up this sword and decide for yourself.

This description identifies the weapon and its setting. It does not establish an elemental effect, passive bonus or damage value unless that field is shown separately in the running game.

How Harbinger fits a build

Harbinger belongs to the Sword and Shield class. At class level, it is built for first runs, adaptable builds and players learning parry timing. The safest all-round class for learning encounters without giving up useful offense.

Class advantages
  • You need one answer for unfamiliar quests.
  • A shield helps you learn a boss before committing to parries.
  • You want the largest Demo Sword Skill pool.
Class trade-offs
  • It does not specialize in speed, stagger, area coverage or charged burst as strongly as the other classes.
  • Block uncertain strings, then move toward timed parries as the pattern becomes familiar.
  • Individual ATK and scaling must be checked in the current build.

  3. EX-Mods: record the existing effects before using the weapon as a synthesis target or donor.
  4. Acquisition: confirm the current drop, shop or crafting source in your game version.
