Performance Insights
The Adamantine Longsword excels in situations where defense and durability are paramount. It negates the slashing resistance of ethereal and incorporeal creatures, making it particularly effective against ghosts and specters.

This versatility makes it a reliable choice throughout the game’s campaign.
