Verdant Summit — 5-Star Sword

Verdant Summit is widely considered the best sword in Neverness to Everness. Its combination of a high base ATK, a Crit DMG secondary stat, and a versatile passive that boosts both raw damage and post-skill ATK makes it the top choice for sword-wielding DPS characters. It is the signature-grade pick for Nanally and Hotori, and its passive uptime is easy to maintain in standard rotations.
