Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
This page refers to the orb ego. For the mechanic sometimes referred to as god wrath, see divine retribution.
| It berserks the wearer when making melee attacks. |
Wrath is an ego found only on orbs. Much like an artefact with the *Rage property, characters wielding an orb of wrath have a 20% chance to go berserk when making a melee attack.
Strategy
- Going berserk at random is *very* risky, especially as using an orb takes up one of your hands. An orb's 5-turn (10-turn if wearing another shield) equip delay also prevents it from being an on-demand berserk. Use the orb to take on tough, single foes that you know you can handle with the (respectively strong) berserk status.
- Ranged attacks, wands, and spells do not trigger the berserk. If you need to take something out, don't want to go berserk, and don't have time to drop the orb, see if you can deal damage without resorting to a melee attack.
History
- The wrath ego, along with orbs, was introduced in 0.28.
