The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt · Weapon category
Steel and Silver Weapons
Silver weapons are most effective against monsters; steel weapons are most effective against humanoids and animals, according to the passage.
How it works
The passage divides weapons into steel and silver categories. It says silver weapons are most effective against monsters and relatively ineffective against humanoids and animals, while the reverse is true for steel weapons. This describes a target-type distinction; no specific damage values are provided.
When it helps
If selecting a sword for a target, use the passage’s distinction between monsters and humanoids or animals as a reference.
