D1 Unique Swords

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Unique swords in Diablo and Hellfire. Swords get a 50% damage bonus against animals, and are extremely useful during the middle levels, with the preponderance of animals in the Cats and Caves. The only animal in Hell is the lava dog; everything else is a demon (Hell Witches are animals in Hellfire, but not in Diablo), but swords are still the most popular melee weapon type there since they do higher damage than any of the one-handed blunts.

While none of the unique swords can match up with a good magical sword for the end game on hell difficulty, most of them are useful at earlier stages of a character's progression.

Diamondedge

D1-u-diamondedge.gif

Nice theme on this item; pity the damage wasn't high enough to make it more viable.

  • Diamondedge
  • (Long Sword)
  • Damage: 2-10
  • +50% Chance to Hit
  • +100% Damage
  • +50% Resist Lightning

Eater of Souls

D1-u-eater-of-souls.gif

Another sword with potential to be useful, but undone by the two-handed nature of it. Should have been made 1h; even the graphic looks one-handed.

Shiotachi

D1-u-shirotachi.gif

Not a bad item, with the fastest attack and armor penetration. A step down in damage from a top quality bastard sword, though.

  • Shiotachi
  • (Great Sword)
  • Damage: 10-20
  • One-handed sword
  • Fastest Attack
  • Penetrates Armor
  • +6 Lightning Damage
