I'm a little confused on how to unlock Victory Smite. I'm getting conflicting reports from my linkshell and can't find any real information one way or the other.
Obviously, unlocking it with empyrean weapon is one way, but things I have read imply that the WS is only usable with the weapon equipped. Then I see some information that suggests that you can trade the weapon to something in WoE and unlock the WS full time.
I have heard that this trade to unlock WS is also possible with the WS only magian weapon whose name escapes me(i.e, going from building vere to building the easier to make weapon), but I can't find anything online that would suggest it.
Then there is the WoE trials (-1 weapon and upgrade with dice and residue, trade to something in WoE after having done the first few voidwatch quests, city wins I think).
If someone could help clear this up for me that would be greatly appreciated.
