Favorite Sword for Invasions?

[just me]

I realize that there are many swords that my pirate has not acquired yet. Of the ones in my inventory, I keep going back to the Voodoo Cutlass for invasions. It's attack strength is only 30, but seems to work much better during an invasion than my War Broadsword which has an attack strength of 51. I also have the Monkey Broadsword & a few others. Haven't got the hang of using a sabre. Because of the War Broadsword's expansive capability-I found myself being attacked by 7 enemies on the last invasion. I also like the ability of the Voodoo Cutlass to absorb the power of the witchdoctors & gypsies. Less powerful, but seems to work for my pirate. Anyone else have any favorite choices or advice that they would care to share?
