So that means Sword Master is no longer as OP as it was back in GEB, right? From the looks of it, seems like I have to go back to Long Blades after all, the first weapon type I chose before I got used to BBs. Things like Death Scythe and the Tail Swd come to mind.

Twin Antennae is available at the end of Chapter 5 with that Ouroboros story mission. When I used it in a replay walkthrough in GEB, it can 1-2 hit stagger Borg Camlanns into a loop when attacking their tail needles with a square aerial attack, and other Aragami can be manipulated similarly like Quadriga (hint: front armor). I always felt like Busters were meh until Sword Master was thrown in. (Whether it's from Twin Antennae or the Arda Nova shield + raw Buster) Did the Aragami's stagger thresholds get increased or something?

SM is a 50% damage boost to white hitsparks, neutral for red, but -50% damage for green/black hitsparks. Given that Busters have high damage in a single hit, it feels tailor-made for them.
