The Ultimate Guide: Unmasking the Top 10 Swords in P, Revealed!

Highlights

Lies of P features various weapon categories, including daggers, swords, greatswords, blunt, and large blunt weapons, despite the game's unconventional weapon designs.

The swords category is visually less flashy but provides excellent mechanical performance with its average DPS and high attack speed. The article showcases various swords within the game, including the Puppet's Saber, Clock Sword, Wintry Rapier, City Longspear, Blind Man's Double-Sided Spear, Bramble Curved Sword, Proof of Humanity, Uroboros's Eye, Puppet Ripper, and Two Dragons Sword. Each sword possesses distinct attributes and strengths.

In spite of featuring unique weapons such as clock hand blades, mining drills, a comically oversized bone-saw, and an axe made of puppet arms, Lies of P only offers 5 weapon categories: daggers, swords, greatswords, blunt weapons, and large blunt weapons.

Surprisingly, the swords category stands out as the least visually extravagant. Most of the weapons within this group actually resemble swords or at the very least bear a strong resemblance to the stereotypical image of a sword. Nevertheless, the swords category in Lies of P boasts impressive mechanical traits, including above-average DPS and a swift attack speed. Bearing this in mind, let's delve into the game and discover the finest swords it has to offer.

10 Puppet's Saber

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Puppet's Saber	9.1	=	-	C	C	N/A

The Puppet's Saber is the ultimate default choice, suitable for both newcomers and those who prefer not to wield rapiers or burden themselves with massive greatswords. This weapon stands out for its simplicity, dependability, and convenience, securing its inclusion on this list primarily because of its enduring usefulness.

In all honesty, all 3 of the starting weapons in Lies of P are highly favored and can be utilized throughout the entirety of the game without significant complications. Nonetheless, the Puppet's Saber serves as an excellent introduction to the diverse sword movesets featured in this game.

9 Clock Sword

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Clock Sword	9.5	=	=	C	C	N/A

Next up is a sword that can only be obtained by venturing to the Estella Opera House. This particular area in the game offers a captivating atmosphere and requires a faster weapon due to the swift enemies and narrow hallways. The Clock Sword proves to be a valuable asset in this setting.

While it may not excel in any specific category, it performs quite well overall. It boasts the unique ability of Taunt Fable Arts with the Bell of Provocation, offers an offensive Fable Art called Storm Slash, and showcases decent scaling in either Motivity or Technique. Additionally, its distinctive appearance adds to its appeal.

8 Wintry Rapier

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Wintry Rapier	6.3	-	=	D	B	N/A

Ironically, despite belonging to the same weapon category known as greatswords, the Puppet's Saber and Wintry Rapier fall under the classification of 'swords'. However, the perplexing question arises as to why the Wintry Rapier outranks the Puppet's Saber, considering they are both default weapons. The predominant factor lies in the exceptional handle of the Wintry Rapier, which serves as a remarkable instrument in enhancing the functionality of any heavy blade.

7 City Longspear

On their default handles, most weapons reliant on Motivity are too heavy to effectively land attacks without a substantial opening. However, by attaching the Pipe Wrench head to the Wintry Rapier handle, players can combine the high damage output of the Pipe Wrench with faster attack animations.

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
City Longspear	14.6	-	=	D	B	N/A

Next up is a rather peculiar weapon, a spear crafted entirely from discarded materials, yet strangely labeled as a sword. Due to the lack of a distinct 'spear' category in Lies of P, most spears are classified as swords, while axes and hammers are categorized as large blunt weapons.

Introducing the City Longspear, a weapon that embodies simplicity, constructed from scraps of fencing and an aged signpost. This weapon boasts impressive Technique scaling, swift attacks, a plethora of dependable thrusting maneuvers, and respectable Fable Arts.

6 Blind Man's Double-Sided Spear

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Blind Man's Double-Sided Spear	11.4	-	=	D	B	N/A

Introducing the Blind Man's Double-Sided Spear, an exceptional addition to the sword classification. Surprisingly shorter than a number of spears in Lies of P, its remarkable qualities remain unaffected. This unique weapon, wielded by the blind Stalker Noah, was crafted with a blade resembling a tuning fork, presumably aiding him in combat by enhancing his perception.

5 Bramble Curved Sword

Besides, this exceptional weapon is worth investing in due to its exclusive animations. What sets it apart is the presence of a distinctive pseudo-shield sawblade attached at the back of the spear. Consequently, the heavy attacks not only involve Pinocchio but also incorporate the utilization of this sawblade for attacking.

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Bramble Curved Sword	9.6	=	-	C	C	N/A

The sword in this list draws clear inspiration from real-life curved swords from history, resembling either an Ajanta or a Kukri blade. The Bramble Curved Sword excels in various aspects, but its charge attack is what truly sets it apart. By winding up and leaping forward, Pinocchio, the character on the Bramble Curved Sword handle, delivers a wide-arching horizontal slice.

Due to the extensive distance covered by Pinocchio's charge attack, players can unleash their attacks from a much safer distance than usual. This feature greatly enhances the weapon's versatility, making the handle the standout element of the Bramble Curved Sword and enhancing its overall effectiveness in multiple combinations.

4 Proof Of Humanity

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Proof of Humanity	20.5	=	-	B	B	N/A

Unfortunately, the remaining items in this list predominantly consist of Rare Ergo weapons. While this arrangement is logical considering the necessary materials for obtaining these weapons, it may not be the most exhilarating to solely showcase the rarest weapons at the top of the rankings. The initial inclusion is the Proof of Humanity, which will likely be the final weapon attained by players during their playthrough as it necessitates the acquisition of the Nameless Puppet's Rare Ergo.

However, for NG+ or simply for engaging in post-story shenanigans, this weapon is absolutely phenomenal. It stands out amongst other swords due to its inherent Crit Chance, a quality typically limited to daggers. Despite its weight, the sword boasts rapid attacks and delivers breathtaking moments through its heavy strikes and the remarkable Link Slash Fable Art, which causes the blade to split into two.

3 Uroboros's Eye

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Uroboros's Eye	16.5	=	-	C	B	N/A

The top three rankings of this list will predominantly feature weapons that players can only obtain in the final hours of the game's story, unfortunately. Coming in at number four is the Uroboros's Eye, an extraordinary weapon crafted from the Rare Ergo of Laxasia (once players successfully defeat her). This weapon stands out as one of the more distinctive options available in the game. Essentially, it takes the form of a massive sawblade Chakram, which players can wield, activate to increase the number of hits per swing, and even throw at enemies for damage before it automatically returns to Pinocchio.

2 Puppet Ripper

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Puppet Ripper	16.4	=	-	C	B	N/A

1 Two Dragons Sword

The Puppet Ripper, a detachable scythe weapon obtained from Alidoro the Treasure Hunter after exchanging the Puppet King's Ergo, offers an upgrade from the Chakram. This remarkable weapon boasts exceptional range, swift attacks, outstanding Technique scaling, remarkable Fable Arts, the ability to engage foes from a distance, and the capacity to strike enemies even when they are concealed around corners or behind walls. Indeed, the advantages of wielding this weapon are so abundant that it is simply unparalleled.

Name	Weight	Slash	Stab	Motivity	Technique	Advance
Two Dragons Sword	12.9	=	=	D	A	N/A

The Two Dragon's Sword takes the top spot for several reasons. It plays a significant role in both Alidoro's and Eugenie's side quests, and players can obtain it early enough to spend a considerable amount of time using it before moving on to NG+. What sets this katana-like blade apart is that it defies the conventional rules followed by other weapons in Lies of P. Unlike the rest, players can attack while on the move with the Two Dragon's Sword, cover long distances with its heavy attacks, block while attacking with precise timing, and even unleash powerful sword slashes propelled by pure energy.
