Both Hardedge and Mythril Saber also have weapon ability unlocks that improve Cloud in physical and magical damage roles, respectively. Though Buster Sword's attack and magic attack bonuses are high, Hardedge provides significantly higher attack power, while Mythril Saber provides significantly higher magic attack. The weapon has slow materia slot growth, being capped at four before reaching Weapon Level 6, meaning it is more limiting initially than the Twin Stinger or Iron Blade at comparable levels. Though the Buster Sword is a versatile weapon suitable for any situation, it also does not excel in any area. Its unlock abilities include a +10% boost to Cloud's MP regeneration, and a +5% boost to his limit break damage. Both when obtained and when fully upgraded, it provides an equal boost to Attack Power and Magic Attack, which surpass most of his weapons, and moderate stats to improve his durability. The Buster Sword is a balanced, general-purpose weapon for Cloud, with well-rounded stats.
