PHALAR ALUVE does not work in Versatile mode with Luck of the Far Realms. The same deal with animation during sneak attack

This is finesse so it can be used for melee sneak attacks AND is two-handed so it benefits from great weapon master.

Shriek + magic missile is disgusting. Use the extra magic missile necklace and reverberation gloves to stack even more onto it.

My Str-monk/rogue-Lae'Zel has sneak attack animation for this, fyi. Bothered me on a dex Astarion.

Lolth drow clerics have advantage on the ritual check to obtain the sword, but doing the ritual gets special dialogue about pissing off Lolth

There is currently no sneak attack animation for this weapon if you 2hand it. At least not for my duergar arcane trickster.
Despite this being versatile it still benefits from the Duelling fighting style when held one-handed.

Bound as a Pact Weapon, attack roll still uses dexterity. Probably because finesse overrides Longsword conditions.

This sword can be nicely clutch. My main is a Seldarine Drow, so it makes him having this sword even more meaningful. I headcanon that his mother was a cleric of Eilistraee. That aside, my main is also much more Dex-affiliated so the sword being Finesse is just chef’s kiss.
.
The Shriek option is nice and can really help out, but, I find the Sing option to be the real lynchpin that can save your team. And, since the sword’s Sing/Shriek abilities are non-concentration, it’s even more of a clutch weapon. Love it!

as a cleric of Eilistraee you don't need to make any check, as part of your religion you know exactly what this is and what to do

Absolutely broken with magic missiles spell
Made an elf sorcerer (for longsword proficiency), dual wield feat at lv4, main hand this weapon, off-hand spellsparkler
Prebuff before entering combat with shriek, cast "create water" with shadowheart on the enemy you would like to blow up, and then upcast magic missile on them while you are in shriek range and watch their health bar disappear. from level 5 you can prebuff with haste too, and get 3 upcasted magic missile casts (2 from hasted actions, and 1 from quickened metamagic bonus action cast)
I managed to kill the spectator down in the underdark in a single turn with this strat at lv5, and also "kill" the hag at lv4 in a single turn lol, and its all guaranteed damage
To really make this setup silly, you will probably want to eventually multiclass into 2 levels of fighter (for action surge and armor proficiency + two weapon or defence fighting style)

The buff works while shapeshifted. So activate the buff and shapeshift with your bonus action(moon druid).
The buff does not require concentration and still persists even if you weapon swap to a different melee weapon allowing you precast this, weapon swap, cast a different buff like bless.

This + improved Bless and your party will never miss again. Also, you can change to your range weapon and the effect will still be ongoing.

My Sword College Bard was very happy to find that this has the finesse property despite being a longsword. It's also versatile like a normal longsword so you can have a finesse weapon that's 2-handed.

Note: Dialog will not occur if you are carrying a Sussur Bloom or under the effects of Sussur flower antimagic field

Shriek procs on any attack instead of just sword attack... which makes basically all your team deal additional d4 on every hit. If you think it might be a damn lot with dual wielding and extra attacks, you'd be right.

I have been experiencing a glitch where Sneak Attacking with this sword 2-Handed will freeze my character for a moment before applying damage without playing an attack animation. Can anyone else confirm this as a repeatable glitch?

If somehow the oath is broken and you want to get it again, pass the tests by taking out this weapon and the oath comes back, without having to spend the 2000

Kinda wish this sword had a bit more to it than just a +1. It's a named sword with a backstory. But it's identical to the regular +1 longsword

It has explicit Performance +1 Bonus and is a Finesse (DEX) Longsword.
