Summum Bonum is a Legendary Arc Wave-Frame Sword from the Salvation’s Edge raid, and it’s craftable. Its identity is built around wave-style heavy attacks and a perk pool that can support either add-clear value or sustained damage setups.
Summum Bonum drops from Salvation’s Edge encounters and becomes available for more consistent chasing once it’s unlocked in your loot pool. After defeating The Witness, you can purchase extra rolls from the end-of-raid cache for 20 Spoils of Conquest (once the weapon is unlocked).
Not really—Heavy swords are already niche in Crucible, and a Wave-Frame sword doesn’t change that baseline. If you enjoy swords and want a novelty-heavy option, it can be fun, but it’s not a competitive PvP priority.
It can be, depending on the roll and the activity. For pure endgame boss damage, Heavy slot competition is brutal, but Summum Bonum can still deliver value with ammo-sustain perks and strong damage traits—or lean into wave pressure with explosive add-clear perks.
Yes. Summum Bonum is craftable, which is why Deepsight roll packages are popular—pattern progress removes perk RNG and lets you shape the exact build you want.
It drops from multiple Salvation’s Edge encounters (commonly listed includes Herald of Finality, Verity, and The Witness), so the best farm is usually whichever your team clears faster and more consistently.
