 Finisher doesn't stand out as much later on in the game, where you can generally find a [[glaive]] or [[bardiche]] with a good brand and a much better ratio of damage to speed, but it's still a weapon worth considering if you find it early. Do what you can to improve your attack speed in tough fights -- a [[potion of haste]] or [[Okawaru]]'s Finesse will let you try to instagib your opponents more often.
