About this converter
This page compares base Witcher 3 sword damage using max values from min-max ranges. Steel swords hit humans and beasts while silver swords hit monsters. Starter swords come from White Orchard: steel at 26 and silver at 99. Viper gives early crafted tiers. Griffin, Wolven, Feline and Ursine give mid game crafting tiers from 145 to 345. Viper Venomous and Manticore give late tiers at 400 and 409. Aerondight pins 583 at level 42 before charge growth. That makes one Aerondight equal over twenty two starter steels.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first sword, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try Griffin steel against Ursine steel, then starter steel against Aerondight.
Damage shows as min-max in game and values here use max. Base means non-upgraded craft: enhanced, superior, mastercrafted and grandmaster raise damage a lot and stay out of rows. Aerondight scales with charges and kills toward max level 100. Exact Manticore silver base was not pinned, so only Manticore steel is listed.
