Throughout the series, the former ancestral sword of House Mormont, Longclaw has served Jon well, and is likely to become become House Stark's new ancestral weapon. And in the Battle of Hardholme, it made history by destroying a White Walker, showing that only dragonglass and valarian steel can harm a Whitewalker, and with Jon being one of the main protagonists, Longclaw has a canidecy for being the weapon that destroys the Night King and saves Westeros. But I think a challenger has come.

Last season, we were introduced to another Valarian Steel sword, Heartsbane, the ancestral sword of House Tarley. We know that Sam has stolen it to use it study how to make more Valarian swords to fight the White Walkers. This means the sword is going to play an important role in the next season, but what good is a sword if it's not going to be weilded? And every Valarian sword is going to be needed in the final battle, and Heartsbane is showing signs of being a Chekov's Gun(For those who don't know what I mean, a Chekov's gun is an object that will play a major role in a story introduced early before it's needed, so viewers will know about the object when it's needed).

And with House Tarley, like all other Southern Houses not believing in White Walkers, and having Longclaw heavily implicated to be the weapon that destroys the Night King, having Heartsbane be the weapon that destroys the Night King could be a major twist. I don't know WHO should actually use Heartsbane if it destroys the Night King, I mean if Jon is disarmed and sam is unable to get to Jon in time, he might try to toss Heartsbane to him, or maybe Sam will be the one who destroys the Night King.

Which sword do you think would work better story wise as the weapon that destroys the Night King? Should the show stay with it's buildup and have Longclaw destroy the Night King, or should they go with a plot twist and have Heartsbane destroy the Night King? Or maybe you have you're own theories.
