How to Use Rotten Crystal Sword

Scales with Strength and Intelligence

The Rotten Crystal Sword is a good melee weapon for Mage builds since it primarily scales with Intelligence and deals additional Magic damage. It also requires a bit of Dexterity to use the weapon.

Has a Passive Scarlet Rot Buildup

The weapon's passive is strong against most enemies. The effects of Scarlet Rot are similar to Poison as it does damage over time based on the enemy's HP. Unlike Poison, Scarlet Rot deals more damage and has a shorter duration.

Weapon Skill Compliments the Passive Ability

Its default weapon skill Spinning Slash unleashes quick slashes while spinning effectively hitting surrounding enemies. This skill is good at applying the Scarlet Rot effect since it has fast attacks and a very good range.
