The Manticore Steel Sword is the steel sword of the Manticore set. It is witcher gear from Blood and Wine. It deals 335-409 damage at level 40, with +250 armor piercing and +50% crit damage. Its diagram is in the Bastoy Prison Ruins tower in Toussaint. It sits firmly in the late game.
Its own stats lean on armor piercing and crits. It also has +5% crit chance, +10% bleed chance and +5% XP from humans and nonhumans, with 3 rune slots. With the Manticore set it suits an alchemy and bombs build, because both set bonuses work on bombs and alchemy items.
Set Bonus
The Manticore set is medium armor with one tier, grandmaster, at level 40. It also has an NG+ legendary variant.
- 3 pieces: crit chance and crit damage also apply to bombs, and bombs are thrown with no delay.
- 6 pieces: each alchemy item gets 1 extra charge.
