| Just In Case god roll - PvP | |
|---|---|
| Blade | Jagged Edge (Impact +4, Ammo Capacity -4) |
| Guard | Heavy Guard (Charge Rate -10, Guard Resistance +70, Guard Endurance +60) |
| Perk 1 | Energy Transfer (Guarding while receiving damage generates class ability energy.) |
| Perk 2 | Valiant Charge (Receiving damage while guarding temporarily increases Sword lunge distance.) |
| Origin Trait | Disaster Plan (Picking up ammunition increases this weapon’s flinch resistance and range, which lasts until it is fired again. Swords gain a large increased to charge rate instead.) |
| Masterwork | Impact (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Radar Booster |
Look for Jagged Edge and Heavy Guard on this god roll of Just In Case. The hit to ammo capacity isn’t ideal, but it’s not the biggest hindrance in Crucible when you’re mainly going to be using your Primary and Secondary weapons. However, it does offer a great bump to the impact stat. Heavy Guard is needed for the boost to the two key stats, which will ensure you can keep blocking damage.
The reason you want to be blocking is for Energy Transfer and Valiant Charge. The first perk generates class ability energy if you block damage, this ensures you can keep cycling your builds or refresh the ability faster. The last perk here will increase the lunge distance. It can be easy for your enemy to assume they are outside of your lunge distance, but this perk will catch them by surprise.
Having a good Solar sword in your build is always ideal, and this Just In Case god roll will serve exactly that need. This roll focuses on you getting out as many high-damage light attacks as possible.
| Just In Case god roll - PvE | |
|---|---|
| Blade | Jagged Edge (Impact +4, Ammo Capacity -4) |
| Guard | Swordmaster’s Guard (Charge Rate +10, Guard Resistance +10, Guard Endurance +40) |
| Perk 1 | Relentless Strikes (Landing three light-attack hits within a short time grants Sword ammo.) |
| Perk 2 | Whirlwind Blade (Rapid sword strikes increase this weapon’s damage for a short duration. Guarding also ends the effect.) |
| Origin Trait | Disaster Plan (Picking up ammunition increases this weapon’s flinch resistance and range, which lasts until it is fired again. Swords gain a large increased to charge rate instead.) |
| Masterwork | Impact (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Backup Mag (+6 Ammo Capacity) |
While it’s unfortunate to take an ammo hit, Jagged Edge is needed for the extra impact boost. This is also acquired from the Sword’s Masterwork to further up your damage output. Swordmaster’s Guard is just a handy one to have on this blade in the event you want to get out a heavy attack, like when taking down a major foe.
For the perks, Relentless Strikes and Whirlwind Blade work beautifully together. Landing light attacks gets you ammo back and rapidly hitting your target increase damage. On boss phases, this lets you effectively deal tremendous damage while maintaining your ammo count. Throw on Backup Mag for a few extra swings.
