This is it folks! To finish my Worst Weapon Runs on Soul Edge i will be using the absolute hottest garbage special weapon in the game that belongs to Siegfried and its none other then his extremely AWFUL 7 Branch Blade. The run will also be completed on Ultra Hard but the timer was enabled and... it took multiple tries during the recording to even finish it... Oh boy lets take a look below at Siegfried's 7 Scrubs Blade stats in numbers:
7 Branch Blade -
Power: 50.0% (Lowest)
Defense: 70.2%
Strength: 100.0%
Durability: 25.0%
Weight: 4 Bars/1.03 Speed
Range: 0.98
Pierce Damage: 25%
Pierce Weakness: 40%
Special Effects: 64% Weapon Gauge recovery per second
Now the main gimmick of the 7 Branch Blade lies in its amazing effect which it has an staggering 64% Weapon Gauge and its the only non Ultimate Weapon to have this effect. This means that any damage to the weapon gauge will be instantly recovered which also means you can literally spam Critical Edges non stop with this weapon even when the weapon has a really poor Durability at only 25.0%. It also has a high amount of Pierce Damage at 25% which is pretty good. Now infinite Critical Edges sounds really overpowered so why is this weapon complete hot garbage? Well... its basically everything else really... For starters it has a Power of 50.0% which is the absolute lowest of any weapon and since Siegfried is a characters which does single big hit damage, his damage tanks to oblivion with this weapon. It also has only 70.2% defense so not only your damage is trash but you cant take hits as well. To add insult to injury it has a awful amount of Pierce Weakness sitting at 40%. The only other good stat is the Speed at 1.03 while the Strength is neutral at 100.0%. The reason this weapon is so terrible is that to compensate for its infinite amount of Critical Edges its damage was tanked to the point that if the opponent gets in one good hit on me, even an Extended Critical Edge will be so weak that it takes multiple rounds of then to even compensate for the damage taken. Also Critical Edges are EXTREMELY punishable when blocked and they have long startups so its not like you can spam then for free and Siegfried cannot afford to take hits with this weapon at all... I think that i made my point here. My only guess on what the devs were thinking with this weapon is that you would force opponents to Block Critical Edges since they deal a sizable chunk of your weapon gauge when blocked as since it has neutral Strength, making the opponent block 4 of then is usually enough to disarm then. This of course doesnt work very well so in the end you have a weapon with a broken Special Effect but the devs think its so overpowered that they nerf everything else to compensate and the result is the literal worst weapon in the whole game bar none. This weapon was so bad that i can lose some rounds against the very first opponents and even with a timer, it was still impossible to complete the run on Ultra Hard without continuing even when i played in the scummiest way possible so how did i manage it in the end? Well... if you continue, the game will temporarily lower the CPU difficulty in a stealth way for a while so if i saw i would not win against the opponent no matter how scummy i played, i would just walk forward and let then kill me until i lost all 5 rounds, continue then try again on the stealth lowered difficulty. This run can be summed up as pure suffering as its just so bad that nothing that i did increased my chances of winning. What is even weirder about the 7 Branch Blade is actually how guides of Soul Edge doesnt actually point out just how bad this weapon is only pointing out its effect at best. Its completely safe to assume those who made those guides never tested these weapons in a practical way as the true way to test then is just how easy you can complete a run at Ultra Hard, preferably with 5 rounds without any timer.
This run concludes my Worst Weapon runs of Soul Edge. There were definitely some weapons that still performed really well even when their stats were poor which did surprise me actually. Tomorrow to complete the Soul Edge uploads, i will be doing a marathon where i will be going against the opponents using Special Weapons where i will only be using normal weapon. Thank You Everyone who watched and enjoyed the runs ;)
