Jawsword?what Make's It Good?

[AgentAhPek]

I am currently making a Jawsword.Most of my friend says that it's worth it.But I don't know how does it make it "good".Can anyone tell me?

[Dr-Jelly]

Not so sure. The design is good. Maybe it's required to supercharged.

I'm a new player,I just played for 3 days.Sorry but I don't understand the "terms" of the game.What's supercharged?

It means to upgrade your weapon with an orokin catalyst, which allows you to upgrade its stats even further past rank 15.

I heard that the jump attack from the jawsword is really nice and can trigger some hard chain explosion.

[CheeseHasLeafs]

Yup. Jump meleeing with the Jaw Sword makes low armoured enemies like the sawman explode. Also, the Jaw is amazing at crits.

Not quite my style tho, so I sold mine. Daggers all the way.

And maybe a Scindo, once that's done.

[Notso]

I'm using it because it looks fabulous.

[--Sensei--]

nothing good about it when compared to other better superior melee weps.

[Ancair]

Explosive effect chance on jump attacks,higher range than normal ones,and maybe a lil bit higher crit damage.

Although the base stats are kinda low to make it usefull.

[Gryphticon]

Wll it isn't the best melee weapon but it's worth trying out if you want.

[DonaldDuck]

More weapons = More Mastery Points = Higher Ranks

What makes it worth using? It's sexiness. I mean just look at it.

But yeah, it's not all that special in terms of stats. Even the Cronus is probably better in terms of DPS. As far as I can tell from using it, the jump attack is very low damage even if it has a chance at making corpses explode, and I can't notice any difference in crits compared to other melee.

Still, I use it because it's so sexy.

It's not the appearence but it's the stats, I don't like how the radiator on a stick looks but I use it because it's strong...

[fuiseh]

So I've just crafted mine, in terms of looks its pretty good. Any of you jaw sword users have anymore to say on it?

Reading the wiki, seeing that it has a polarity and a supposed stagger on every hit I'm pretty tempted to finally have me a full on pure slashing sword.

[Notso]

Well it never seemed that great to me. Granted I've not used it since U7, so it might have been changed or fixed since then.

you got that wrong.

 

weapons have 0-30 ranks which give you 0-30 mod points.

if you supercharge a weapon you get double the mod points. so 0-60 depending on the rank of the weapon (max 30 ofc)

This is pre-update 7 mechanics.  The mod system has changed drastically.

 

Let me repeat to the OP -- this is outdated information.  Currently adding an orokin catalyst to a weapon doubles the amount of Mod Capacity the weapon has.

[CubedOobleck]

Except for the looks (which I personally don't like) the Jaw Sword has nothing worth mentioning.

There are other single swords that are straight up improvement compared to the Jaw Sword.

Allow me to direct you two to the date at which I made that post.

 

Now allow me to tell you that Update 7 went live on March 18th.

The necro thread rose from the grave and ate my brains.

 

You are correct. My bad.

yeah sorry, haven't paid attention to the threads date =)

Should've made note of my responsibility in this deed of necromancy.

Ranked my jaw sword up to rank 10 for now, having a stagger on every attack with a maxed fury isn't half bad. The polarity with fury is neat too. Not sure how viable it is later on though, just tired of having nearly every weapon other than dual ethers being charged spammed!

Don't suppose anyone went as far as to supercharge it?

I didn't supercharge it because I didn't have an orokin reactor at that time but I manage to get it to level 30.
