Dragonwilds:Skullsplitter: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:02, 2 September 2026

Template:Infobox Item Skullsplitter is a Dragonwilds:power level 3 one-handed weapon that can be crafted using a Dragonwilds:blacksmith's bench. The recipe is learned by consuming the Dragonwilds:vestige Dragonwilds:remnants of a shattered skull, received randomly as a drop from killing Dragonwilds:garou berserkers at a 1/50 drop rate. It can be ascended at the Dragonwilds:mystic forge using Dragonwilds:ascension cores.

Its Dragonwilds:special effect is +15% Dragonwilds:critical strike chance, which equates to an average 1.0375x damage increase. However, that assumes that the Dragonwilds:critical strike chance never goes over 100%, which would be wasted. Currently, the base chance is 10%, the 2/3 Dragonwilds:melee armour set bonus provides 50% after a block, and the Dragonwilds:lesser Attack potion provides 25%, equaling 85% before adding the Skullsplitter's 15%.

This weapon has slightly higher base damage than the Dragonwilds:goblin "Swingslash" but slightly lower than the Dragonwilds:zombie axe at equivalent power levels. The Dragonwilds:zombie axe, however, deals both crush and slash damage, making it worse against enemies weak to crush but resistant to slash (including Dragonwilds:skeletal hoplites, Dragonwilds:zogres, Dragonwilds:black knight warriors, Dragonwilds:black knight guardians, and the Dragonwilds:black knight titan). For those enemies specifically, this is the best one-handed crush weapon to ascend.

-'''Skullsplitter''' is a [[Dragonwilds:Power level]] 3 one-handed weapon that can be crafted using a [[Dragonwilds:Smithing Anvil]]. The recipe is learned by consuming the [[Dragonwilds:VESTIGE: Remnants of a Shattered Skull]], received randomly as a drop from killing [[Dragonwilds:Garou Berserker]]s at a 1/50 drop rate. Its special attack is a small leap with an overhead slam, dealing moderate damage.
