Asuterosaberu DX
Broadsword
| Damage Per Swing:36.2 |
| Rate of Fire:1.1 |
| Special:Astral Tear |
5250Asuterosaberu DX is a Tier 6 unique broadsword. It has a very powerful primary attack, dealing up to 162 damage per swing with Ferozium armor designs (+360% damage increase).
Formerly, it had the highest base damage per swing of any unique broadsword excepting an Empowered Protector's Broadsword (that tier 7 broadsword deals 32 base damage per swing normally, but 41.6 base damage per swing while Empowered); however, post-Version 1.2.0 (which, among other things, added the Weapon Upgrade Anvil), this record now belongs to the upgraded Hokucide (which deals 38.5 base damage per swing).
The design was submitted by a Solarium-tier pre-order backer, who was granted the ability to design a weapon to be included in the game. The weapon can be found as a reward from procedurally generated Tier 6 quests and chests. It seems to be especially common in Avian Grounded Villages.
The weapon's long description reads as follows: "An inscription on the blade reads, "High-five for expressing yourself!""
When held, a cascade of sparkling particles falls from the blade. Its special ability - Astral Tear - slices reality with the blade to create a stationary tear in space; the strike itself is a standard attack, whilst the created tear repeatedly deals approximately a quarter of the blade's normal damage as long as the enemy stands in it.
Trivia
- The weapon's name comes from an English transliteration of a Japanese transliteration of "Astrosabre" in katakana, an alphabet used for spelling foreign words in Japanese.
- The spelling "Asutero" (アステロ) appears to imply the name is derived from "asteroid" (アステロイド), rather than the root "astro," which would be spelled "asutoro" (アストロ). Additionally, the spelling "saaberu" (サーベル) implies the French pronunciation of "sabre," whereas the English pronunciation of "saber" would be transliterated as "seibaa" (セイバー).
