Superior Griffin Silver Sword

The Superior Griffin Silver Sword is the third of the base game’s four levels of Griffin School silver swords. It is meant for monsters and other magical creatures, and its headline bonus is +15% Sign intensity.

Compared with the Enhanced Griffin Silver Sword base damage rises from 265-323 to 337-411, and it gains an upgrade slot. The last base-game step is the mastercrafted version, which needs this one as a component.

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