The Bandos godsword is one of the four legendary godswords that was fought over during the God Wars. Requiring 75 Attack to wield, it is created by attaching a Bandos hilt to a completed godsword blade, which has no requirements and can be done by any player. Along with the Armadyl godsword, the Saradomin godsword, and the Zamorak godsword, the Bandos godsword carries one of the highest damage bonuses in the surface world, surpassed only by vesta's spear and the chaotic maul.
Like all godswords, the Bandos godsword has a passive special attack, Warstrike, which has a 25% chance of happening, decreasing the targets level in Defence if they are above a certain base Defence level.
Because General Graardor is the most popular boss to kill in the God Wars Dungeon, the supply of Bandos hilts is very high, and the Bandos godsword is the most commonly seen godsword among players. Consequently, it is the least expensive godsword. Some players who wish to train with a godsword will buy a Bandos godsword, as it is the cheapest and yet has very high weapon bonuses.

Uses
The Bandos godsword is somewhat popular when fighting high-level boss monsters, such as Nomad, God Wars Dungeon bosses, and even the Corporeal Beast despite the damage reduction for non-spear attacks. The passive effect can substantially drain the target's Defence, making the fight much easier.
