The Bandos godsword is one of the five variants of the Godsword; the hilt is received from General Graardor whilst the blade's shards are attainable from any other boss or boss minion in the God Wars Dungeon. As with all godsword variants, it requires level 75 Attack to wield.

Players can attach a Bandos godsword ornament kit, obtained from master clue scrolls, to cosmetically enhance the godsword, creating a Bandos godsword (or). This only alters its appearance, and gives no stat enhancements. It also becomes untradeable. The ornament kit can be removed, returning both the godsword and the ornament kit.

Special attack

A player uses Warstrike, the Bandos godsword's special attack.

The Bandos godsword's special attack, Warstrike, has doubled accuracy, inflicts 21% more damage and drains the opponent's combat levels equivalent to the damage hit in the following order: Defence, Strength, Prayer, Attack, Magic, Ranged. Warstrike consumes 50% of the wielder's special attack energy. Warstrike rolls against the opponent's slash defence roll.

For example, if Warstrike inflicts 50 damage on a foe with 30 in all combat stats, it would drain 30 Defence and 20 Strength levels (leaving the target with 0 Defence and 10 Strength).

Against Tekton, it drains his combat skills by 10 (following the stat drain order) if it fails to hit.

The special attack is similar in effect to the Dorgeshuun crossbow, bone dagger, dragon warhammer, elder maul, barrelchest anchor, and darklight.

The special attack animation's colours can be changed to gold, which costs 75 Last Man Standing points. Once unlocked, the gold trim can be toggled at Justine's stuff for the Last Shopper Standing whenever the player desires.

Uses

The special attack is used to reduce the difficulty of various boss fights. Should the wielder hit high damage using Warstrike, the defence of the boss will be significantly decreased, allowing the rest of the fight to be easier, as more of the player's following attacks will hit.

A basic yet effective strategy is to use Warstrike twice in quick succession; the second iteration of the attack is more likely to hit given its Defence reducing capabilities, and its stat-draining effect is cumulative. Alternatively, in a PvP scenario, Warstrike can be followed up using a higher-hitting special attack (e.g. Armadyl godsword) to finish off an opponent after reducing their Defence level.

This special attack is more effective against NPC's and players relying on high defence bonuses rather than high defence levels, as losing defence levels quickly renders defence bonus redundant.

[[{{#explode:23 April 2015| |0}} {{#explode:23 April 2015| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:23 April 2015| |2}}]] (update | poll)	The special attack energy cost was reduced from 100% to 65%.
[[{{#explode:19 March 2015| |0}} {{#explode:19 March 2015| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:19 March 2015| |2}}]] (update | poll)	The accurate attack style of the Godswords has been adjusted to use slash rather than crush. As the slash attack bonus on Godswords has always been higher than the crush bonus, having the accurate attack style of the weapons use slash rather than crush means that the accurate attack style takes advantage of the best offensive bonus of the weapon.
[[{{#explode:7 November 2013| |0}} {{#explode:7 November 2013| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:7 November 2013| |2}}]] (update | poll)	The Accurate combat mode of godswords has been changed from 'Stab' to 'Crush', since godswords have no stab-attack bonus Godswords will now pop up a confirmation box when you try to dismantle them
