I've been curious, is the Dakra Prime better than the Dragon N? I have the Crimson Dervish so does the 300% dmg boost make DP better? Also, how does Nikana Prime fit into this???

Thanks and have a nice day!

The 300% multiplier from Crimson Dervish is only when the weapon is unsheathed, since quick attacks with single swords don't use the stance's basic combo. It's also worth noting that Crimson Dervish slows the weapons attack speed when unsheathed as well, but I'm not sure how proportionate that is to the damage bonus.

So, it becomes a matter of preference and playstyle. When unsheathed, the Dakra Prime probably outperforms the Dragon Nikana, but the Dragon Nikana is generally better for quick attacks.

Also, Broken War destroys both, afaik.

Oh okay, thanks for the tip!
