BUSTER SWORD UPDATE

The Buster Sword is weak to Fire, Water, and Wind, none of which change at any level. Even as a balanced non-elemental weapon, it's overshadowed by the superior resistances and more versatile bonus skills of the Steel Buckler and the Pixel Popper. The Icecream Sandwich and the Dog Sausage are better for buff builds, while the Honjo Masamune and the Star Hammer have better nonspecific damage. While theoretically useful for an offensive support build, the v2 Buster Sword is outclassed in all of its main niches. Incidentally, this basically makes it Gungnir with three elemental weaknesses. It also enhances buffing skills and can occasionally unleash Paper Storm with its weapon-elemental skills (including its Normal Attack counter), enabling NoLegs to support the party with his wide range of buffs and the odd Dispel. It has good offenses and Accuracy, decent defenses and Evade, and a HP boost only surpassed by the Blood Bank and the Riot Shield.

BUSTER SWORD UPDATE

However, the v2 update completely overhauled the Buster SwordВ to make it somewhat viable (and much more accessible). It was objectively the worst weapon in the entire game, if not the series - its only positiveВ was beingВ obtained at the same time as the much more useful Star Hammer. In the initial version of EBF5, the Buster Sword was literally useless, providing no stats whatsoever and being weak to three elements.

Both items are made of brown cardboard 'reinforced' with strips of silver duct tape.

Its offhand item is a roughly square shield. The Buster Sword is a single-edged sword with a disproportionately massive blade, a small, rectangular crossguard and a nondescript hilt.
