Swords and Weapon Upgrades in Anime Stars
Sword upgrades are worth it early but plateau. When and how much to invest.
Quick answer
Upgrade your swords while cheap (~to level 50) for the big power jump. Once the cost stops raising your power, stop — don't sink a level-100 Mythic stone into a weapon that doesn't pay.

How to invest in swords
Worth it early (~level 50)
Sword upgrades give a big early power jump because they're cheap. The creator leveled to ~50.
It plateaus — don't over-invest
Past a point it's not worth spending a level-100 Mythic stone on a weapon that no longer raises your power.
It pays when it's cheap
Advice: benefit while cost is low and power jumps; stop when cost no longer pays.
