Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the best sword for a new player?

A: Start with Iron Mace (25,000 Beli), then work toward Pole V2 (free quest reward) as soon as possible.

Q: CDK or TTK first?

A: TTK first - it's easier to obtain and makes grinding (including the quests for CDK components) much faster.

Q: Is Dark Blade worth the Robux?

A: At 1,000 Robux, it's decent but not meta-defining. Free swords like CDK and TTK are objectively better. Only buy if you want convenience early on.

Q: Did CDK get nerfed too hard?

A: No. The 10% teleport range reduction is noticeable but CDK remains the #1 PvP sword. The combo potential is untouched.
