The Mythril Sword because I remember playing the puzzle so many time to afford to buy it at Elfheim. I was so proud. The Ice Brand is also cool too.

Turns out that sword isn't a bane sword. It doesn't even exist in the original ff1. My fave, in this case, shall be the coral sword. Useful for a thief, that one. Plus, I used to think it was made of coral as in red coral (the skeleton of red "life form" coral is sometimes used as a gemstone), so I imagined this red, shiny, gem-ish sword, and the sprite seemed to fit with that. Then the wonderswan version had to come along and crush my dreams.

I only weilded the Defender until I got through the Air Fortress, and then I got the excaliber, so I can't say if I liked it or not. I will say it was the most powerful at the time, so it had its use.
I'd say I like the Excaliber, because of the power, the amount of time before I could get to it, and the name. Its just a shame that only Knights can use it.
And the Cat Claw was pretty sweet. It made the Black Wizard a weak attacker. He could only hit for 200 each time, but its better than 30 something.

Well, the catclaw is a knife not a sword.
It's cool when you finally get it though.
I enjoy popping back to the beginning areas of the game with it to see my weak little black mage slaughter an ogre by hand.

The masamune is nice of course, but I just don't get enough use out of the thing to love it.

[boys from the dwarf]

catclaw turns black wizard into a decent fighter which is a big step up because you dont have to suck up MP every turn to do higher than 20 damage.

I kinda liked the Flame Sword, because it looks badass.

- But da Masmune is da strong3r!

That one rocks too.

- Yay.

Does it literally kill enemies in one hit like the name suggests or does it cast a spell that attempts to kill all enemies when used as an item? If it's the latter then it was probably the Bane Sword.

I'm fairly sure that sword isn't from the NES version; there IS a weapon elsewhere in DoS that casts Scourge (BANE) but I recall this specimen being one that casts Death (RUB) on one enemy instead. It doesn't kill enemies in one hit, but it is a weapon stronger than the Sun Sword, and one which the Red Mage/Wizard can wield.

well I have to be honest Sun Sword
