Born anew, the father of swords returns.

Gram Prime is the Primed variant of the  Gram heavy sword, with a large increase to damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, and status chance, but a steep reduction to attack speed. It possesses the highest offensive stats but the slowest swing speed out of all heavy blades. It was released alongside  Chroma Prime and  Rubico Prime.
