Auras

Auras are a cosmetic enhancement to swords which activate a unique particle effect that is displayed on both the user's screen and anyone nearby to whom the sword is visible, essentially being Swordburst 2's way of implementing weapon skins. Although they offer no advantage in the main game, they are still in extremely high demand since many players who cannot afford the ROBUX to open chests from which they are obtained instead look to trade thousands of Vel so they too can have their very own Aura with a particle effect. Players have been seen selling auras from as low as 15,000 Vel for less flashy ones, to upwards of 50,000 for the most eye-catching. Users who paid for Swordburst 2's Early Access were automatically given a random Early Access aura upon joining the game for the first time after release.

Currently, auras can be directly obtained through the Early Access Chest (which is exclusive to Early Access players) and the Release Celebration Chest which is available for everyone, both from the Burst Store. However, only auras from the Release Celebration Chest are tradable as the Early Access auras were stated by the developers to be fully exclusive to Early Access players as a status symbol, and therefore non-tradable.

Release Celebration Chest auras can be traded by applying the aura onto any sword and simply trading that sword with the receiver, while swords with an Early Access aura active will not be visible to select when trading.
