Combat Tips

As a blunt weapon, the Mace of Betrayal excels at dealing stagger damage to armored enemies. Maces are particularly effective against foes wearing heavy plate armor, where slashing weapons like swords lose some of their effectiveness.

Pair this mace with a shield for a defensive playstyle that allows you to block incoming attacks and counter with powerful overhead swings. Alternatively, dual-wielding the mace in the off-hand alongside a faster weapon in the main hand provides a balanced mix of speed and impact.
