Striker Scepter

Striker Scepter is weapon 10 of 23 for the Dark Lord, and it drops in Swamp of Peace, Vulcanus, Land of Trials, Crywolf, Balgass' Barracks.

Lore

The Striker Scepter is the most aggressive of the command scepters: short blades jut from its head like the rays of a star. It was created for leaders who would rather open the breach themselves before sending anyone through it.

It is the weapon of a Dark Lord who leads by example. It drops from Medusa in the Swamp of Peace and from the boss of Vulcanus, and it appears in the Land of Trials, Crywolf and Balgass' Barracks.

Forging and refining

At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
