One of the three Legendary Swords, infused with gold.

Item Description in Inventory

Saishi (formerly known as Saddi) is a Legendary sword.

Saishi is arguably one of the best swords in the Second Sea, due to it's speed and rare ability among swords to stun even Blade users.

It is recommended to swap swords as the player reaches Third Sea however, due to there being far better options.

Saishi can be bought at the price of 2,000,000 from the Legendary Sword Dealer.

The Legendary Sword Dealer rarely spawns in the Second Sea, every time this NPC spawns, he sells one sword out of the three legendary swords which are Saishi, Shizu and Oroshi.

Pros
General Great damage. A somewhat large hitbox. Great combo potential. Fast moves with low endlag. Fast M1 making it good for raids and grinding. All moves can hit Sea Beasts. Long range moves.
[Z] Swords Dance Fast mobility move. Good for PvP on water (If the user does not use Shark). Can grab the target(s) regardless of if they have Instinct or not. Decent knockback. Great cooldown. Can stun Blade users along with Rengoku.
[X] True Air Slash Long range. Decent knockback.

Cons
General Cannot deal damage to Blade users, but [Z] Swords Dance can stun them. Dashes on the fourth swing, making it harder to farm with. Both skills can be dodged with Instinct. High mastery requirements for players below Third Sea.
[Z] Swords Dance Does not Break Instinct.
[X] True Air Slash Easy to dodge.

Saishi, along with Shizu and Oroshi are required (and with 300 mastery on each respectively) to obtain the True Triple Katana.
The user can grab Love's [V] Besto Friendo with [Z] Swords Dance.
Saishi is debated to be the best sword in the Second Sea, with its main competitors being Rengoku, Dragon Trident, and Midnight Blade.
[Z] Swords Dance will lock the user in place for a second after dealing damage to big targets such as Sea Beasts.
[Z] Swords Dance and [X] True Air Slash deal the same amount of damage. (Only if [Z] Swords Dance is used close to the target)
