Dadao

The dadao is one of the seventeen sword types available to players in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. It is only usable by subscribers on subscription oceans.

Due to the two-color sprinkle drop pattern, the dadao performs badly when sending sprinkles compared with alternatives such as the skull dagger and the stiletto. However, rows 3 through 6 of the pattern make this sword well suited for dealing large strike attacks, since many breakers must be used to counter the attack. It is comparable with the falchion and the very similar katana.
