Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best sword in Sailor Piece?
Shadow Monarch is the current meta best sword in March 2026 — highest damage, best AoE, excellent iFrames, and top crowd control. True Aizen and Yamato are close alternatives with slightly easier acquisition.
How do I get the Shadow Monarch sword?
Shadow Monarch requires a progression chain: 1) Buy Jinwoo Sword (2,500,000 Money from Sailor Island Jinwoo Trainer), 2) Farm Jinwoo boss for Monarch Core, 3) Defeat Shadow Monarch boss in the Double Dungeon on Boss Island, 4) Get the sword from Shadow Monarch Trainer on Dungeon Island rooftop.
What sword should a beginner use?
Start with the Katana from Starter Island (2,500 Money), upgrade to Dark Blade on Snow Island (250,000 Money + 300 Gems), then work toward Jinwoo Sword. The Ichigo Sword from Hueco Mundo is the recommended mid-game target for consistent performance.
Can I use a sword with a fruit build?
Yes — hybrid builds (fruit + sword) are very strong. The Ichigo Sword and Rimuru Sword both pair well with high-damage fruits like Dragon or Light for PvP and boss encounters.
