Uniques/Main Hand/The Pyre King's Edge

The Pyre King's Edge is a Nightmare Unique zweihander, hunted from Cinder Wyrm in the Mortal Arena, always at item level 120. It is one of four Exceptional drops on its list — 2.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 40 — and every kill rolls the list 5 times. It is built on Sovereign Pyreking Zweihander — step 6 of the Pyreking Zweihander line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +192 Power, +18% Fire Damage, +5% Melee Lifesteal, +40 Power, +18% Fire Damage, +18% Critical Damage, +16% Power, +55% Critical Damage, +44% Fire Damage and +32% Attack Speed.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Pyre King's Edge — Your Special spins 5 more times at 25% less damage each and wreathes every foe in Burn; a full Burn Ignites, but it recharges 25% slower.

It leans into Burn.

Wearing it hands you Charged Overhead and Whirlwind.

“Guilty. The sentence is warmth.”
