Crime and Punishment Sword Weapon Readjustment

You can use the Weapon Readjustment at the Weapon Workbench in Albion. Here are the best Weapon Readjustments for the Shadow:

  • Melee Weapon Toxic ATK
  • Melee Weapon Critical Hit Rate
  • Consecutive Attack Chance
  • Consecutive Attack Damage

Try to upgrade the Weapon Readjustments to at least purple quality.

Crime and Punishment Sword Weapon Cores

Weapon Cores significantly boost your damage. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require clearing many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.

Best Weapon Cores for the Crime and Punishment:

  • Firepower Augmentation Icon TFDMelee Weapon ATK (Firearm Augmentation)
  • Attribute Augmentation Icon TFDToxic ATK (Attribute Augmentation)
  • Hit Augmentation Icon tfdConsecutive Attack Damage (Hit Augmentation)
