Storyline

No specific overarching storyline is discussed. The video centers on endgame/raid combat mechanics for Meliodas after a recent update, with a comparison between two longswords.

Gameplay focus: Which longsword is better for Meliodas?

Question addressed: Which is better after the update—Black Flame Wings Longsword or Gluttonous Longsword?

Key idea: The conclusion depends on:

  • How fast you kill enemies
  • How you use the weapon’s passive

Test setup / primary boss

The comparison is tested on Lady (Black) Bishop, mainly because she:

  • Stands nearly still for long windows
  • Has enough HP to meaningfully compare DPS across multiple bursts

The fight is structured to start at the “same time,” aligned to when Diane’s/Daisy’s hits trigger first-strike effects.

Gameplay highlights & findings

1) Proper team usage is critical for Gluttonous

For Gluttonous Longsword, the creator emphasizes that you need a burst-oriented team that matches the weapon’s play pattern.

“Proper Gluttonous team” shown:

  • Meliodas
  • Jericho
  • Diane / Daisy
  • Tiori / Tioreh

Result (in this proper setup):

  • Gluttonous is close to Black Flame Wings
  • Black Flame Wings may win by about ~2 seconds in the showcased scenario

2) Burst rhythm differs between the swords

Black Flame Wings Longsword

  • Delivers a strong, more immediate burst
  • Performs best when enemies die quickly

Gluttonous Longsword

  • Prefers an initial burst to set up and build passive stacks
  • Then relies on follow-up burst/combo while the passive value is ready

Common mistake: Using the same team/combo rhythm for both swords can make Gluttonous perform poorly.

3) Side-by-side comparison (same start time)

  • Left: Gluttonous Longsword
  • Right: Black Flame Wings Longsword

Observed flow:

  • Gluttonous begins slightly behind
  • After additional burst windows, it catches up
  • Black Flame Wings continues bursting again

Takeaway: With proper usage, Gluttonous isn’t inherently “bad”—it’s highly dependent on correct team choice and passive stacking timing.

4) “Improper team” demo: why people think Gluttonous is weak

The creator demonstrates Gluttonous using what they call the wrong team composition—a “Zack team” style:

  • Howzer
  • Daisy
  • Tiori

Outcome:

  • Clear time becomes about 18 seconds longer
  • Their stated comparison: proper Gluttonous vs improper Gluttonous

Main takeaway: Gluttonous requires a team designed to perform the initial burst correctly so that the passive is stacked for later damage windows.

Strategies / key tips summarized

  • Choose based on kill speed

    • Speedrunners who kill in roughly 1–3 E’s → Black Flame Wings Longsword
    • Players who need longer rotations (don’t die in a couple E’s) → Gluttonous Longsword

  • Don’t reuse the exact same team for both swords

    • For Gluttonous, run a comp that enables:
      • Initial burst (to stack passive)
      • Then an alternate combo/sequence so the passive value pays off

  • Team examples given

    • For Gluttonous (proper concept): Jericho + burst support + Daisy + Tiori
    • For “wrong team” criticism: Howzer + Daisy + Tiori

  • Ability usage note

    • The creator mentions not always using the “last E” immediately to manage magic gauge/rotation efficiency, avoiding wasted time or inefficient timing/refunding.

Enchant / gear note

  • In this test, the creator’s Black Flame Wings had better enchantments than their Gluttonous.
  • Because of that, the ~2 second edge for Black Flame Wings isn’t perfectly “clean” one-to-one:
    • Better Gluttonous enchants could potentially widen the results.

Final conclusion (rule of thumb)

  • If you’re killing things extremely fast (2–3 E’s): use Black Flame Wings Longsword
  • If you need longer rotations and multiple E windows before damage takes over: use Gluttonous Longsword
  • Also: if you already invested in a 6-star of one sword, they suggest it’s generally not necessary to switch investment unless you’re unsure—or you already have Gluttonous built.
