Rapier of Devastation

Split scaling grade into Rare and Epic tiers
Rapier of Devastation is a Rare / Epic rapier-class melee weapon in Windrose. Plague wood winds its thin shoots around rough metal. The branches seem almost alive, waiting for a chance to sink into the enemy's flesh.
Rapiers are one-handed Pierce weapons that scale with Precision, making them the default melee pick for Precision-oriented builds. They pair naturally with an off-hand Pistol for a Precision dual-threat loadout.
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Weapon Class | |
Rarity | Rare / Epic |
Damage | 210 Pierce |
Scaling | Precision (- at Rare, B at Epic) |
ATK (Item Level 15) | 380 |
ATK (Level 1 crafted) | 100 |
Stack Size | 1 |
Flavor | As if a death wasn't enough. |
Rare and Epic variants share a base effect. Ascending the Rare to Epic at the Weaponsmith Workshop preserves the Rare effect and stacks an additional bonus on top.
Tier | Effect |
|---|---|
Rare | Light Attacks apply up to 8 Plague marks. Heavy Attacks consume all accumulated marks, dealing bonus Damage for each. |
Epic (adds) | If a Heavy Attack consumes more than 5 marks, you restore 40% of your Maximum Health. |
Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1). Base recipe: Copper Ingot x7, Rough Hide x2, Ingot Arborum x5.
Ascending the Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop converts it into the Epic variant and unlocks the Epic bonus line. Ingredients: Rapier of Devastation x1, Tumbaga Ingot x7. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.
Dropped from Crypt and Gardenruin chests in plague-themed regions.
Ties into the Plague Halberd and Arboris Saber loot pool.
Specific chests and drop locations currently listed on the live item card:
Chest Source | Location | Chance |
|---|---|---|
Old Skeleton | 10.0% | |
Old Skeleton | Crypt | 5.0% |
Old Skeleton | Ruin with a Flowerbed | 5.0% |
Old Skeleton | Tainted Ruins | 5.0% |
A combo-centric duelist rapier. Build 8 marks with a five-hit light combo, then land the heavy for a burst window that also returns 40% Max HP at Epic.
Thrust-first patterns punish over-commits more than sweeping slashes. Keep the distance short but not point-blank so light attacks can feed stacks or marks before committing to a heavy.
Precision-scaling weapons pull from the Precision and Marksman branches of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Pierce damage, Critical Damage, Bleed damage, and Temporal Health conversion. Precision rapier builds also benefit from pistol-synergy talents, since the typical rapier loadout uses a Pistol off-hand.
See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.
