Getting the best sword in Assassin's Creed Mirage will dramatically increase your chances of winning fights. Assassin's Creed Mirage has gone back to the stealthy roots of the early games in the series, but you still need a decent blade for when things go sideways.

Our pick for the best sword in the game does a lot of damage, it isn't too hard to get, and it is great for clearing out any notoriety issues you may be having. This is how to get the best sword in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

What is the best sword in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

From our experience with the game, we recommend The Rostam Sword. Many of the swords you can get throughout the game have unique abilities that make them very strong in one situation or another, but the Rostam Sword is much more straightforward and useful in basically every situation.

How to get the Rostam Sword

Early in the game, you will unlock the Contracts Board which can be accessed at a Hidden One's Bureau. These boards provide side missions that you can complete for various rewards.

The mission we want to complete is The Weapon's Dealer, which tasks you with protecting this weapon merchant as he flees from the authorities.

Complete the contract, and the Rostam Sword is yours. You do not need to complete the extra objective, but doing so will net you some extra rewards.

The unique ability of the Rostam Sword has each attack increase your damage by 5%, up to a maximum of 50%.

In general, sword damage is not very high in Assassin's Creed Mirage, which is why this sword is so strong.

Whether you are whittling down a powerful enemy or slicing through a group, this sword gets stronger as you fight.
