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 most sought-after godsword. The Armadyl godsword, along with the other godswords, were considered to be the strongest weapons in the game before the release of the chaotic maul (the Chaotic maul lacks a special attack). The Armadyl Godsword's main competition comes from the Dragon Claws which have a similar hard-hitting special attack. The Armadyl Godsword is created by Smithing together the three Godsword shards (requires 80 or higher Smithing) and using an Armadyl hilt on the blade (has no requirements to do), creating the wieldable Armadyl godsword.

Use
The Armadyl godsword is used most commonly in PvP Activities, the Wilderness, and for 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 boosting potions, and having 99 Strength, a player can hit up to 1000+ with its special attack against monsters, although a player can hit up to 1166 while under perfect conditions. For instance, 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). However the actual max hit has yet to be noted. 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.

Trivia

 * The maximum hit of the Armadyl Godsword is 1169 with Profound decorative Armour, 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.
 * Despite the fact that the sword is two-handed, its special attack is one-handed.
 * Unfortunately, dismantling of any godsword and bringing the hilt and godsword blade to Entrana is prohibited.
 * There is a glitch when you have a borrowed Armadyl Godsword in your bank, the item icon has disappeared. This effect may still occur when playing in HD. It is unknown how many other items this affects, although the whip has been said to do the same. Dragon Claws had this glitch but it seems to have been patched during one of the updates around the end of March 2010.
