Enshrouded: Best Swords, Ranked

Important takeaways

• Enshrouded features meticulously handcrafted maps and weapons with attention to detail.
• Swords and sword-and-board builds are popular in the game due to damage and tanking.
• Various legendary swords like Sunbeam & Major Arcana offer distinct utility but can be hard to find.

Wrapped up is an exceptionally well-presented action role-playing game, most notable for the incredible attention to detail and effort that went into crafting the map by hand. Where other games take shortcuts, such as using procedural generation to create a world, Wrapped up goes old-school. Care and attention has been put into every detail of the game, and that goes for the weapons as well.

As with most fantasy games, swords are very common weapons in Wrapped up. And a traditional sword-and-board solo build is very profitable in this game. Whether the player wants to specialize in dealing damage or take on more of a tank role, a sword is an excellent choice of weapon in Wrapped up.

Updated on December 10, 2024 by Mac Wheeler:There have been several updates to Enshrouded since this list was first published, adding content and features. Most notable is the update that added the dungeon-style content, Hollow Halls. Therefore, it made sense to revisit this list and add some of the newer swords that have either been added to the game in updates or found by players after the first list was published. Many of the new swords have multiple damage types, and this gives them more utility, as it means the player doesn't have to switch weapons as often to match the enemy's vulnerabilities.

11 Sharpened broadsword

Piercing, cutting and damage to the casing of a weapon

• Damage: 47
• Attack Speed: 0.6
• Durability: 250

The Sharpened Broadsword is absolutely huge. The model is actually quite overwhelming but very cool. But the best thing about the Sharpened Broadsword, aside from its stunning aesthetics, is the fact that it does three different types of damage; piercing, casing and cuts. This makes it something of everything you need.

Due to its excellent utility, this is a weapon that any sword and board build can benefit from having in their inventory. It can be a bit difficult to farm, as it is not found in loot chests and can only be looted from the dead bodies of Fell enemies.

10 Noble Sword

A good min-game weapon

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 260

The Noble Sword is a good replacement for early game swords like the Scrappy Sword, which is created by the Blacksmith NPC. It's fairly easy for novice players to get their hands on, and if a legendary version can be looted, it does the maximum damage shared by all swords Wrapped up.

Finding the Noble Sword is pretty easy. It can be looted from Pike Capital City POI in Revelwood. However, the player may need to use the reload/respawn trick to loot the legendary version of this sword. This is a great weapon for warriors and tanks in fairly early games. Find a likely chest, preferably a gold colored one, and grab lots of lockpicks before you start looting for this weapon.

9 Wolf's Maw

High blunt damage sword

• Damage: 47
• Attack Speed: 0.6
• Durability: 260

Don't be fooled by the somewhat low durability of the Wolf's Maw sword Wrapped up. This is a great versatile sword that will fit many builds as a main weapon. The reason for this is the very high blunt damage. 40% of all damage this sword does is blunt, with the rest split between slashing and slashing damage.

Another good thing about the Wolf's Maw sword Wrapped up is the fact that it is one of the easier legendary swords to loot. Go to the Kindlewaste, Nomad Highlands or Revelwoods zones and farm gold chests. The standard salvage scum technique will work here.

8 White Wolf Sword

A chest exchange host from the Kindlewaste region

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 260

The White Wolf Sword is another contender for a mid-game replacement sword. This weapon is very easy to loot and has maximum damage stats if the player can loot a legendary version.

To find a White Wolf Sword, go to Kindle waste region on the map. All chests in this region have the White Wolf Sword in their loot tables. However, golden chests have a higher chance of containing the legendary version of this sword. As usual, the reload/respawn trick can be used to farm a suitable chest.

7 Sword of Radiation

A contender for best mid-game sword

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 280

Although the Sword Of Radiance is harder to loot than the previous two swords on this list, it is still available to players entering the mid-game and not very well equipped. With patience and skill, it is possible to skip the previous two swords and go straight to the Sword Of Radiance.

This sword lies in Nomadic highlands area. Locate the sport and climb to the top, then use a glider to glide down to the southwest and find a golden chest atop one of the smaller towers. Use the reload/respawn trick until the legendary version of this sword.

6 Ice sheet

Easy to loot mid game sword

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 280

The Ice Blade is a good mid-game weapon for warriors, people playing a tank build, or someone who has done some tanking and needs a one-handed weapon. It's another sword that's easy to loot Wrapped up. Well, easy is a relative term here. It's easy to get to the location where this sword can be looted, but depending on the RNG, it may take some time to loot a legendary version.

Go to Kindle waste and look for chests, preferably a golden one. Once you find a chest, use the reload/respawn trick until the legendary version of this sword is looted from the chest.

5 Saint Brothers Steelsword

Piercing, cutting and blunt damage in a weapon

• Damage: 47
• Attack Speed: 0.6
• Durability: 290

Sacrilegious Steelsword is another sword with amazing utility for Wrapped up player. This is a sword with three damage types; piercing, cutting and blunt. The blunt damage is particularly useful, as this is generally something that maces have.

The description for this sword is pretty cool, stating that it has been forged from steel taken from fallen soldiers. However, there is a downside to this weapon. It can only be looted from chests inside Hollow Halls, meaning it won't be easy to come by until later in the game.

4 Sunbeam

Cutting And Piercing Sword With A Small Burn

• Damage: 47
• Attack Speed: 0.6
• Durability: 300

Sunbeam is an excellent new sword weapon for Wrapped up players to try to loot. As with most swords, it primarily deals slashing and piercing damage, although it also has a small amount of fire damage, somewhere around 10%.

The really cool thing about this awesome legendary sword is that it shouldn't be too hard to loot. It is found as a legendary item in golden chests in the Kindlewaste and Nomad Highlands areas. The rare version of this sword can be looted from siltwood barrels in the same locations.

3 Major Arcana

Endgame weapons that are very hard to get

• Injuries: 47
• Durability: 300

This cool sword is one of the best you can find while playing Wrapped up. However, there is a downside to this. Looting this sword is so difficult that many Wrapped up players believe there is a game bug that prevents this sword from dropping as often as it should.

Major Arcana can only be raided in level 30 zones at the end of the map. This means that players who are not equipped enough will struggle to get to the location to try to loot this sword.

2 Nova

Almost the best, but hard to find

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 300

Nova could take the top spot on this list, but the final selection upsets it for a reason, which will be explained. Nova is a great sword, but quite hard to find. There is only one confirmed location where players can raid it.

In it Kindle waste region, there is a small cave in the north. Inside this cave is a chest, and Nova is in the trade table for this chest. However, be prepared for a long session of the reload/respawn trick unless the player is very lucky. But the Nova is a cool weapon and worth the effort.

1 Inflamed sword

A sword that shines!

• Damage: 47
• Durability: 300

Like most swords in Wrapped up sharing similar stats, Enflamed Sword gets the top spot on this list for a very specific reason: it shines. This means the player does not need to switch to carrying a flashlight when entering dark environments such as caves and tombs.

The best place to loot that Enflamed Sword is close Temple of the Sun. Go there, then go a short way southwest. There is a small ledge on a rock wall that should be placed. Climb or jump up to this ledge and there is a golden chest on this ledge. Use the reload/respawn trick until the flaming sword appears.
