Killing monsters for money is a Witcher\u2019s real job, on paper. But every Witcher player knows you\u2019ll kill just as many humans as monsters in your Witcher 3 gameplay<\/a>. Some humans can prove to be worse than monsters; This is arguably one of the game’s core themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019re aware that steel Swords are for Humans, and silver swords are for monsters. Some of the first human targets you\u2019ll encounter in the game will be bandits; they are not hard to kill. But they can be annoying because you\u2019ll often face multiple bandits at once, especially if you don\u2019t have a good steel sword<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also need your steel sword for the non-magical fauna of the forest, such as Bears and wolves. Wolves will prove to be much more painful than bears because they\u2019re quick; they can dodge many of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that I\u2019m not including Witcher School Gear swords. But I suggest you craft at least one set throughout your first game playthrough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Swords In The Witcher 3 (Ranked)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a good build and sword can make killing enemies feel like running through butter with a knife. Below is a comprehensive ranked list of the Best Steel Swords in the Witcher 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Forgotten Vran Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This sword has the least level requirement in the list and average damage. So obviously, it\u2019s the least impressive sword on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disassembling the sword will give 4 Iron Ingots, 4 Leather Straps, and a Diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minimum level requirement for the Forgotten Vran Sword is 40. It has a damage of 316-386. On the bright side, it has a +13% critical hit bonus damage and a 10% chance to stun. If you wish to buy this sword, it will cost 913 crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find this sword easily in the Jenny o\u2019 the Woods contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Harvell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Harvard is a quick broadsword that you can use if the damage is not your primary concern. This sword is preferable if you favor the igni sign during combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harvell offers damage of 320-392. But it\u2019s the main attraction is the +11 Igni Sign intensity and the +9% chance to burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disassembling the sword will give you 2 Ambers, one leather strap, and 4 Iron Ingots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harvell Sword can be found in the \u201cAn Unfortunate Turn of Events\u201d Trease Hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ashrune<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Ashrune Sword is one of my favorite sword designs in the game. The hilt is curved and sharp-edged. It kind of looks like a lighting sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Damage dealt with is 319-389, with a critical hit chance of 4% and freeze chance of +5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find this sword in Velen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 3. Mourner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mourner (one of the coolest sword names ever, to be honest) is a heavy hitter. You can use it effectively against armored opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a damage of 327-399. It offers +18 armor piercing and a 20% critical hit chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mourner cannot be crafted. Its only known location is at the bridge north of Lindenvale in Velen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Hjalmar’s Steel Sword<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hjalmar’s Steel is arguably the only rival to the Toussaint Knight’s steel sword in Witcher 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is the strongest steel sword in the base game since the Toussaint Knight’s Steel Sword can only be obtained if you have the Blood and Wine DLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has monstrous damage of 734-898. Along with a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

45-200% chance of critical hit bonus and 2-3% experience gain after killing humans and non-humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no diagrams for this sword, and it can only be obtained by winning it from Hjalmar himself after defeating Vildkaarl in the King’s Gambit Quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Toussaint Knight’s Steel Sword – Crafted Version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rest assured, this sword will end your journey once you obtain it. You don’t need any other steel sword once you obtain this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of damage and overall stats, you won’t see any sword better than this in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has mind-boggling damage of 745-911. There is a +100% critical damage. A +30% quen sign intensity bonus and a +20% critical hit chance. And of course, there’s the +15% chance of causing burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diagram for this sword can be found in a chest on the upper floor of the central ruined tower of Arthach Palace Ruins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Killing monsters for money is a Witcher\u2019s real job, on paper.
