There are tons of swords to find during a playthrough of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. Each sword falls under a certain tier, consisting of Common, Rare, and Legendary.

If you are trying to find a Legendary sword that works with your playstyle, this list has it for you. Without further ado, here are the 10 best swords in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.

This sword's Heavy Strike attack causes Edward to swing the swords to the side, hitting multiple enemies at once.

Since this Heavy Strike is one of the strongest attacks in the game, you will want to execute it as much as possible. Increased range on a Heavy Strike doesn't just make it easier to land the attack, but also makes it so you kill enemies faster overall.

This weapon comes included with the Deluxe and Collector's Edition of the game. Check out all of its stats below.
