'''Sacred scourges''' are [[demon whip]]s which have been blessed through [[the Shining One]]'s final ability; you can create your own this way, and you can occasionally find them on [[angel]]s and [[daeva]]s as well. They are generally considered to be the best one-handed weapons in the late game, due to their fast attack speed and excellent damage output against demons and the undead. They are also effective against normal monsters, although a demon whip with a solid attack [[brand]] is generally a superior choice against anything the holy wrath brand doesn't cover.

This weapon falls into the Maces & Flails category. It is a one handed weapon.

Sacred scourges are a blessed weapon, slightly stronger than the demon whip it was formed from. It always has the holy wrath brand.

You can create a sacred scourge through the Shining One's 6* ability, or find them on angels and daevas. You can turn a sacred scourge back into a demon whip by using Kikubaaqudgha's or Lugonu's final ability to replace its brand with pain or distortion, though this is rarely a good trade.

Strategy

The strongest one-handed mace, at least in raw stats. The forced holy wrath brand makes it strong against evil opponents, though a branded demon whip is better against non-evil opponents.
