Enhanced Griffin Steel Sword

The Enhanced Griffin Steel Sword is the second of the base game’s four levels of Griffin School steel swords. It is meant for humans, nonhumans and beasts, and its headline bonus is +10% Sign intensity.

Compared with the Griffin Steel Sword base damage rises from 119-145 to 169-207, and it gains an upgrade slot. The next step is the superior version, which needs this one as a component.

Pair it with the Enhanced Griffin Armor from the same tier, and with the Enhanced Griffin Silver Sword for the other half of a witcher’s kit.
