Desirability
The sword of Cerebov<ref>Template:Source ref</ref> is an unrand sword wielded by Cerebov, a unique pandemonium lord. Foes struck by the sword lose 1 rank of fire resistance, which can even make fire-immune foes vulnerable.
On its own, this sword can be a strong weapon. But by the time you kill Cerebov, there's usually better options available. Even Long Blades users may prefer a +9 triple sword or one-handed sword. Fire Magic specialists will often want to blast enemies with big AOE (Ignition, Fire Storm), leaving no time to swing in melee. Therefore, it is generally carried as a prize more than anything.
History
- From 0.19 to 0.28, the sword of Cerebov had 16 base damage and riposte.
- Prior to 0.13, the sword of Cerebov was a regular great sword, and its special effect only ignored fire resistance for the sword's own damage.
