Confused with the revamped Dawn Warrior

I noticed the range difference the other day while browsing the FM. A 1H sword with 11 more attack and decent potential lowered my range about 4k, compared to my Stonetooth. I am not quite sure of the numbers behind this, because multipliers (in my mind) wouldn't make that much of a difference between 1H and 2H. However, if you already have a 2H sword that you have invested in, then I suggest keeping it, since you can get a secondary equip for Cygnus Knights called Ereve Brilliance, I believe. This item can receive potential (and be shared between characters, if you were to get a good potential that is viable on other characters), and still be equipped when you are wearing a 2H sword, so you aren't losing a whole lot from 1H + Shield. As far as reaching speed cap, I want to say yes, IF you are using the solar attunement or Equinox Cycle. This gives you +2 attack speed on top of your booster. Normal weapons are 4 and 5, correct? At 5, the booster and solar buff will bring you to the cap. Even at 6, you will reach the cap.

EDIT:



They were changed to use both 1H and 2H swords. They originally only used 2H, but this changed (while they were still in Tespia? I don't know the time frame).

I see. So I'd be fine with a Cursed Kaiserium if I were to only use the Solar buff, but I would need a faster weapon if I were to use the other one (forgot it's name, it's the fire one I'm talking about).

Also, what I noticed, is that whenever I use the Equinox Cycle, the attacks have a little bit of a delay between each, making it not seem to be worth using. Is this because it's only at level 1, or maybe a latency issue?

Thanks for clearing things up so far!

EDIT: I just read your post again, saying something about the secondary weapon. Am I able to use that secondary weapon along with a shield? Cause it seems to be way better to just get a 2-handed weapon and the secondary weapon instead of a 1-handed weapon and a shield.
