The Blade of Prophecy was lost until a champion worthy to carry it into battle emerged.

A Chain Reaction of Explosions

The Blade of Prophecy lifts the Crusader's Condemn to a new level: affected enemies set off additional explosions of their own, and Condemn's damage is greatly increased. In dense packs this produces a genuine chain reaction, where one detonation triggers the next and entire groups crumble within seconds.

The weapon is the heart of Condemn Crusader builds that rely on explosive area damage. Tip: Pull enemies in tight first, for instance with a gathering or slowing skill, before you detonate Condemn so that as many foes as possible are caught in the chain reaction. The blade's reduced cooldowns further help you bring the skill back online faster and keep the string of explosions going.

What exactly happens

Besides your own explosion, two Condemned enemies trigger the explosion as well. The damage bonus rolls between 600 and 800%; a copy at 674% sits below the midpoint, and a Primal Ancient reaches the full 800%. Condemn itself charges for 3 seconds and then hits all enemies within 15 yards for 1160% weapon damage as Holy, on a 15-second cooldown.

How the runes work with the blade

  • Eternal Retaliation cuts the cooldown by 1 second per enemy hit and complements the blade's cooldown reduction.
  • Vacuum sucks enemies in while charging, which takes care of the tip above on its own.
  • Shattering Explosion widens the radius to 20 yards.
  • Unleashed makes the explosion instant, and Reciprocate adds 50% of the damage you take.

Stats and partners

Every copy carries 6–10% Cooldown Reduction. Random rolls include bonus damage of +1,177–1,439 to 1,410–1,788 and a main stat at 946 to 1125 points - Strength for a Crusader. Damage %, a socket and Life per Hit are also useful. It is frequently paired with Talisman of Akkhan, Breastplate of Akkhan and Gauntlets of Akkhan, Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle, Frydehr's Wrath and Ring of Royal Grandeur.

According to the flavor text, the blade stayed lost until a champion worthy of carrying it into battle emerged.
