Which Sword should my friend use?

My friend (Bloodhunter 17 Hexblade warlock 3) just got Zareil’s sword and I was wondering if he should use it. He uses swords as ranged weapons think like Kratos. He also has a custom ability called Blessed blades or smth here are the pictures.
Have attuned currently:
Aldereath Family Moonblade
+18 to hit
d8+12[Slashing]+d8[cold]|***Martial Melee Weapon Attack.***
Finesse, You learn elvish, throw range 20/60

Sword of the Marquesian Kings
+15 to hit

d8+19[Slashing]+2d8[Radiant]|***Martial Melee Weapon Attack.***
You can read, write, and speak Celestial. You gain resistance to radiant and necrotic dmg. Your charisma score becomes 20. You sprout wings that give you a 90 ft fly speed. Your eyes become luminous and give you truesight. Fiends have disadvantage on attacks against you within 10 ft. You have advantage on all insight checks. Throw range 20/60. While attuned your AC increases by 1

I don’t have the Attack stats for Zariel’s sword but My DM told me that it’s fire dmg and it will bypass resistances and immunities like hellfire but it doesn’t have any other properties of hellfire.

Custom ability:

Boon of Blessed Blades- Every time you crit with an attuned weapon, you gain an additional effect up to 4 effects per weapon. These effects last until the end of the combat.
- Blessing of Marquetian Kings: Level 0: The saint- you heal 2d8 when you miss, Level 1: The Soldier- +2 to AC, +1 to all saves, Level 2: The poet-Immune to charm, frighten, poison, and stun, Level 3- Builder-when you hit an enemy they have disadvantage on all attack rolls until the end of your next turn, Level 4-King- When you hit, you and allies have advantage on all attacks and crit range decreases by 1 until start of your next turn
- Blessing of the Aldreath Family: Level 0: The Leader-when you miss, add do to next attack and dmg, Level 1: The Striker- BA empower strike and roll max dmg for that turn, Level 2: The Healer- you can hit an ally and heal them for the dmg you would have delt, Level 3-Tank- whenever you or ally within 30 ft benefits from relentless, death ward, etc, restore half hp max. Level 4:Mage- Reaction prevent spell within 60 ft
-Blessing of Avernus: Level 0: Zariel: Whenever you mis an attack, you still deal 2d10 fire dmg that bypasses resistance and immunity. Level 1:
Tiamat: If your Crimson rite is active you may switch it to the rite of the Dragon. if it is not active, you may activate it to Rite of the Dragon. Rite of the Dragon: You deal 1d6 acid, poison, fire, cold, and lightning. Level 2: Bel- Whenever you hit with an attack roll, you deal extra dmg equal to half the base dig at the start of the targets next turn. Level 3: Set: If you get 10 higher than the AC on an attack. DC 15 con save of die. Level 4:
Nergal: Allies within 30 ft can concentrate on two spells at once

What are the best 2 swords or are they all good enough to where I shown look into trying to having him attune to all of them (which I would have to sacrifice his attunement to his armor, that isn’t amazing)

How to murder a Super Dire Tarrsque?

I’m playing in an epilogue lvl 22 campaign that was built off “call of the nether deep”
where we’re having to face 7 different apocalypses to save the world. We have just about cleared the first one (it was the arch devils excl. Asmodeus.)
And
we’re on to the 2nd one which is the Dire Tarrsque (idk which one but it needs a wish spell to kill, has 5 legendary resistances, and has a anti flying zone around it) but 3 edits have been made to make it stronger.
The Dire Tarrsque will appear in the shatter isles with allies that probably won’t have magic.

My party consists of:

  1. ⁠Twilight Cleric
    attuned items are: Demon armor, Sword of Answering (Rebutter), and 3rd thing can’t remember
  2. ⁠Runic knight attuned items are: Efreeti chains, Spell Shield, Stormgridle (Awakened) (could switch out spell shield to attune to my Demon polearm for extra dmg boost to movement and 2 more abilities I forget

Also have the Ring of Winter

  1. Blighted Druid with a lvl or 2 in blood cleric attuned items are: Jewel of 3 prayers, Armor of Valiant Soul (Awakened)

He can also summon a healer, Damger, or summoner (one ally)

  1. Blood hunter
    attuned items are: Aldereath moon blade, sword of Marquesian kings, Armor of reforged souls

He can also summon an ally for a list of “shadows” the list includes not limited too: Mephistopheles, Levistus, Beelzebub, and the 8 wizards of the Cerberus Assembly

While this isn’t everything we have it’s most of it. We are gonna have a basically UN meeting where we can ask for things and get allies (max of 2 and we already have one which is an ArchFey, Bard maybe part warlock idk yet)

Hoping that anyone has ideas for what we should ask for, what ally to ask for (or class of ally), or what strategies we should keep in mind.

I’ll answer any clarifying question to the best of my knowledge!

Hoping r/DungeonsAndDragons can help
