Armadyl godsword



The Armadyl godsword is one of the four Godswords. Like all godswords, it requires level 75 Attack to wield. It has a special attack called The Judgment which inflicts 25% more damage with a 50% Special bar drain, making the armadyl godsword the second-strongest godsword coming after the saradomin godsword. The armady godsword along with the other godswords were considered to be the strongest weapons in the game before the release of the chaotic maul (however, the Chaotic maul lacks a special attack). The Godsword's main competition comes from the Dragon Claws which have a similar hard-hitting special attack. It is created by Smithing together the three Godsword shards (80 Smithing or higher is required to do this) and putting an Armadyl hilt onto the bottom of the blade (has no requirements to do), thus creating the wieldable Armadyl godsword.

Use
The Armadyl godsword is used most commonly in safe PvP Activities, Bounty + 1 item worlds, and killing boss monsters such as General Graardor due to its high hitting special attack. It can be useful for training if healing is not an issue. Using all the best Strength equipment, boosting potions, and having 99 Strength, a player can hit up to 930+ with its special attack against monsters, although a player can hit 1040 while under perfect conditions and while wearing the Castlewar bracelet and using the sword's special attack (their opponent must be using Saradomin brews, Titan's Constitution scrolls or Rocktails to increase their LP above its maximum). Arguably, it is a good knock-out weapon along with Dragon Claws, as the Dragon Claws' special attack has a higher theoretical maximum hit than the Armadyl Godsword. However, the Armadyl godsword is still the better weapon overall as it can still deliver heavy damage more often without the use of its special attack.

Trivia

 * The maximum hit of the Armadyl Godsword is 1040 with a maximum equipment Strength bonus, an overload/extreme strength potion and turmoil prayer in castle wars with a castle wars bracelet equipped while entering. A player must attack the flag holder in a game of castle wars to achieve the max hit. Only under these circumstances will this work. You could also wear Void Melee gear, Amulet of strength, Berserker ring (i), Dragon boots, Fire cape or use the Strength skillcape's bonus and use piety to inflict maximum damage if you can't afford the potions or prayers required for the maximum hits.
 * You can see an Armadyl Godsword up close by leaning over the wall in the Duel arena with another player wielding the godsword. To do this you will have to turn the angle of your screen. This can also be done with other weapons. Another easier method is to use the orb of occulus.
 * Despite the fact that the sword is two-handed, its special attack is one-handed.
 * The Armadyl Godsword has been the most expensive weapon in the game since it was first introduced, until the prayer third age items.
