Sailor Piece just dropped its biggest patch yet. The Huge Update (released May 10, 2026) brings two new Mythical swords, a fresh melee fighting style, new islands to explore, and a massive level cap jump to 20,000. On top of that, the new Raids gamemode and Index system give grinders a completely restructured end-game to work toward.
Two New Mythical Swords
The standout additions are Sun God and Dual Wielder — both Mythical rarity swords firmly in end-game territory.
| Sword | Rarity | How to Get | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun God | Mythical | Sea 2 | High sustained damage |
| Dual Wielder | Mythical | Minotaur drop (Raids) | High sustained damage |
Sun God specializes in sustained DPS, making it a strong pick against Sea 2's long-fight bosses. It competes with established Mythical swords like Atomic (AoE burst, considered the upgraded Shadow), Great Mage, and Ice Queen — all sustained-oriented in their own right. If you prefer steady, reliable damage output over burst combos, Sun God fills that role cleanly and slots into any build that values consistent pressure.
Dual Wielder is the update's locked-progression weapon. It drops exclusively from the Minotaur inside the Raids gamemode — and the Minotaur carries 1.25 trillion base HP, matching the Kraken's health pool. That number is not something you chip away at solo. You need a coordinated squad to bring it down. Dual Wielder's sustained-damage profile makes it a direct alternative to Yamato, Shadow Monarch, and True Manipulator, all of which sit in the same sustained Mythical tier. Clearing Raids is the only path to this sword, which makes it one of the most coveted weapons added to the game.
A New Melee Fighting Style
Beyond the swords, the Huge Update adds a brand-new melee fighting style. Sailor Piece's melee pool is already competitive: Demon King covers high burst and sustained damage, Corrupted Excalibur focuses on end-game sustained output, Strongest Shinobi delivers wide-area AoE, and Moon Slayer handles tight-area consistent pressure. A new addition here expands build diversity for players who prefer melee over sword play — especially meaningful for races with Melee Damage Multi bonuses like Oni (+20% Melee Damage Multi, +65% Max HP, +10% Damage Reduction) and Luckborn (+15% Melee Damage Multi, +80% Damage). If you have been looking for a reason to swap to a melee build, this update gives you one more option to evaluate.
New Islands in Sea 2
The Huge Update expands the explorable world with new islands to sail to and discover. Sea 2 already hosts some of the game's biggest content: Isolation Island holds Black Reaper (49B HP, needs a Reaper Key to summon), Punch Island sees the Cosmic Being world boss every 15 minutes at 499B HP, and the open sea holds the Kraken (1.25T HP) and Sea Serpent (625B HP). The new islands add fresh destinations with progression tied to the expanded level cap, giving both new arrivals and returning Sea 2 veterans new terrain to cover and new content to unlock.
Level Cap Rises to 20,000
The most universally impactful change in the Huge Update is the level cap increase to 20,000. Players who had already maxed out the previous ceiling now have a clear new target, while newer players have a much longer runway before hitting a wall. This number shapes everything else in the patch — the new islands, the new gear chase, and the Raids grind all feed into the same extended progression band.
Efficient leveling toward 20,000 centers on high-HP bosses that also drop valuable loot. Cosmic Being at Punch Island (499B HP, spawning every 15 minutes) is one of the most reliable EXP sources in Sea 2 when farmed in a group. Equipping a Fishman race grants +15% EXP gain and +15% Money, which compounds noticeably over the course of thousands of levels.
The Raids Gamemode
Raids is the biggest structural addition in the patch. It is a cooperative team mode built around defeating the Minotaur, a boss with 1.25 trillion base HP — matching the Kraken in raw health. This is intentionally a squad encounter, designed to be too demanding for a solo player to sustain. Coordinate your group and select race and weapon loadouts before entering.
Dual Wielder drops from the Minotaur, which means Raids is gated progression: you cannot obtain this Mythical sword without clearing the mode. Race selection matters significantly here. Leviathan (+60% Damage, +17% Sword Damage Multi, +5% Lifesteal) is particularly strong in long sustained fights because the lifesteal passively restores HP during the drawn-out encounter. Archangel (+22% Sword Damage Multi, +100% Damage, +15% Double Drops chance) amplifies rewards further, making it the top pick if you are farming the Minotaur repeatedly for Dual Wielder.
The Index System
The Index is a new meta-progression layer introduced alongside Raids. It tracks your full collection — every weapon, item, and unlock across the game. For completionists it maps out exactly what remains to acquire. For active players it works as a practical dashboard showing which Mythical weapons you already have and which are still missing. Fill the Index as you naturally progress rather than treating it as an end-game task — picking up weapons while leveling costs no extra effort and checks off entries you would otherwise have to backtrack for.
Best Races for the Huge Update
With both new swords focused on sustained damage and Raids being the central challenge, races that boost sword DPS and survivability are in highest demand right now.
| Race | Rarity | Key Stat Bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| Leviathan | Mythical | +60% Damage, +17% Sword Damage Multi, +5% Lifesteal |
| Luckborn | Mythical | +80% Damage, +15% Sword Damage Multi, +35% Luck Multi |
| Archangel | Secret | +100% Damage, +22% Sword Damage Multi, +15% Double Drops |
| Oni | Mythical | +55% Damage, +20% Melee Damage Multi, +10% Damage Reduction |
| Fishman | Uncommon | +15% EXP gain, +15% Money gain |
Leviathan lifesteal is the standout Raids pick for sword users. Oni is the top melee alternative with its damage reduction passive. Fishman is the practical choice while still grinding toward the new level cap.
Tips to Get the Most from This Update
- Finish Sea 1 before pushing the new islands. Both new swords require Sea 2 access, so build your levels through Sea 1 first to avoid hitting a wall early.
- Redeem active codes before grinding. Codes often give free rerolls and starter rewards. Check our Sailor Piece codes page for the current active list.
- Track the Index as you play. Retroactively completing it is inefficient — collect weapons as you encounter them naturally and entries fill themselves in.
- Squad up for Raids. 1.25 trillion HP is a sustained team effort. Coordinate roles and race picks before entering.
- Use Fishman for the level grind. The +15% EXP bonus adds up meaningfully across the scale of reaching 20,000.
- Keep healing items stocked. Longer fights against Sea 2 bosses and Raids demand sustained survivability, not just burst damage.
