The holy wrath brand causes a weapon to deal up to an additional 150% damage[1] (minimum 1, averaging 75%) to demons and the undead.
Holy wrath can be found on any melee weapon, including artefacts. It is the Shining One's special brand: at six stars of piety, you can have the brand added to any weapon of your choosing, including ranged weapons. It can not be obtained through a scroll of brand weapon.
You cannot wield weapons with this brand if you yourself are undead (mummy, ghoul, vampire, in lichform) or a demonspawn. Holy wrath will also offend Yredelemnul, though not Kikubaaqudgha.
Tips & Tricks
- Holy wrath works best on high-damage weapons due to its percentage-based damage output.
- While weak in most early-game branches (the Lair, the Slime Pits), it excels in the late-game, when most branches are filled with powerful demons and undead. The Crypt, the Tomb, Pandemonium and the Hells are especially good places to have a weapon of holy wrath.
- Note that this brand does not deal additional damage to non-demonic, non-undead creatures, even if they are "evil" otherwise.
