Is Dakra Prime A Good Weapon (Is It Worth Farming)?

[Sasquatchias]

Just curious at to the general consensus on Dakra Prime, and as to whether or not it is good/decent?

What are it's Strengths and Weaknesses, so to speak?

[Brimir]

It is the only Longsword that does AoE, AFAIK.

 

That alone puts it above the rest.

I am also quite interested in information on how the Dakra prime stands compared to the rest of the blades in dmg 2.0. I've already gotten all my parts thanks to good luck while running with friends, I only lack the mastery. I'd rather not build it if ill end up being unhappy with it, or find it not as.. "Useful" as say the orthos or whatever. So any information pertaining to the "Worthiness" of the blade, would be most appreciated.

The best Normal Attacker out of every longsword in the game for sure. Still ranking it up, though, so I can't tell how well it compares to other weapons.

A huge plus is full control over movement while attacking, making it one of the best chasing weapons in the game. Enemies tend to outrun me when I attack with Dual Ichor, but with Dakra, this is never a problem.
