Drakengard
The swords are the fastest of all the weapons. They can quickly slice through plenty of enemies, but they inflict less damage than the other weapon types. The one advantage to using swords is that you can get more consecutive hits before the enemies die, making it possible to chain more hits together and get more HP Spheres.
