Bandos godsword

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A detailed Bandos godsword.

The Bandos godsword is one of the 4 Godswords received in pieces from God Wars Dungeon. As with all Godswords, it requires 75 Attack to wield. Its special attack, "Warstrike", drains your opponent's combat statistics by the damage hit in the following order: Defence, Strength, Prayer, Attack, Magic, Ranged. For example, if the special attack inflicts 50 damage on a foe with 30 in all combat stats, it would drain their Defence to 0 and their Strength to 10. An extra 10 percent is added to the inflicted damage as well with a 100 percent Special bar drain. This special attack is similar to the Dorgeshuun crossbow, Bone dagger, and Barrelchest anchor. Because Strength is drained right after Defence, the special attack of the Bandos godsword can be potentially lethal to Strength pures that have 1 defence.

Because General Graardor is the most popular boss to kill in the God Wars Dungeon, the Bandos Godsword is the most commonly seen godsword among players. Because of this relatively plentiful supply, the Bandos Godsword is the cheapest one to buy. Even though it is the cheapest, the Bandos Godsword still has the same stats as all of the godswords. The only difference from the other Godswords is the special attack.

This weapon has been made famous by the devastating damage that can be inflicted upon other players in various PVP situations. Some people in Bounty Hunter also use this weapon very effectively, as any opponent without brews will realise: it's difficult to win if your defence and strength have been lowered significantly.
