Enhanced Ursine Steel Sword

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

Compared with the Ursine Steel Sword base damage rises from 184-224 to 220-268, 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 Ursine Armor from the same tier, and with the Enhanced Ursine Silver Sword for the other half of a witcher’s kit.
