King’s Grace is not subtle about what it wants from a weapon, packing several major damage bonuses into a single aggressive package.
Its massive All Damage multiplier is joined by extra damage against Demons and Undead, while Lucky Hit Chance opens the door for builds built around triggered effects.
Life On Hit rounds things out with some sustain, giving King’s Grace considerably more depth than simply turning every attack into a bigger number.
How to Get King’s Grace?
King’s Grace is created through the Horadric Cube using its specific three-Rune recipe and a compatible Common weapon as the crafting base.
Unlike Runewords restricted to one equipment type, King’s Grace gives you several weapon choices depending on what your class can equip.
You will need the Amn, Ral, and Thul Runes before the finished Unique weapon can be created.
How to Craft King’s Grace?
Combine Amn + Ral + Thul with a compatible Common weapon and transmute the ingredients together using the Horadric Cube.
The complete King’s Grace recipe requires:
- Amn Rune
- Ral Rune
- Thul Rune
- Compatible Common Weapon
King’s Grace can be created using a Common Flail, One-Handed Mace, or One-Handed Sword, allowing the weapon type to match your class and build requirements.
King’s Grace Effects
King’s Grace concentrates almost everything it offers around dealing damage, with Life On Hit providing its primary source of defensive utility.
Its effects include:
- Weapon Damage
- Life On Hit
- x75% All Damage Multiplier
- +50% Lucky Hit Chance
- +100% Damage to Demons
- +100% Damage to Undead
Weapon Damage and Life On Hit scale with the resulting item, while the remaining properties define the offensive strengths of King’s Grace.
Why King’s Grace Hits So Hard?
The centerpiece of King’s Grace is its x75% All Damage Multiplier, which provides a substantial boost without restricting you to one skill or damage type.
That makes the weapon far more flexible than an effect designed exclusively around Critical Strikes, Overpower, Vulnerable enemies, or another specific condition.
Characters can therefore take advantage of its main damage bonus while continuing to build around the mechanics that already support their chosen skills.
Demons and Undead
King’s Grace becomes even more specialized when fighting Demons or Undead, granting +100% Damage against enemies belonging to either category.
These bonuses will not apply universally, so their value naturally changes depending on the enemies encountered during a particular activity.
Against matching targets, however, they add another significant offensive advantage on top of the weapon’s already powerful general damage multiplier.
Building Around Lucky Hit
The +50% Lucky Hit Chance makes King’s Grace particularly interesting for builds containing effects that activate through successful Lucky Hits.
Increasing Lucky Hit Chance creates more opportunities for compatible effects to trigger, although their actual activation rate still depends on the skill and effect involved.
This gives King’s Grace additional build potential beyond raw damage, especially when several useful Lucky Hit effects are already incorporated into the character.
Life On Hit and Fast Attacks
King’s Grace also provides Life On Hit, allowing successful attacks to restore Life while the weapon is being used in combat.
This naturally complements builds capable of landing attacks frequently, turning an otherwise offense-heavy weapon into a source of recurring sustain.
It will not replace stronger defensive layers on its own, but it can help recover Life continuously while fighting through groups of enemies.
Choosing the Right Weapon Base
The best base for King’s Grace depends on the weapon types available to your class and whether a particular skill requires a specific weapon category.
A Flail, One-Handed Mace, or One-Handed Sword can be used, so the recipe should be saved for a base that actually works with the intended build.
Using an Ancestral Common weapon is also preferable later in progression when crafting a version intended to remain equipped for longer.
Best Classes and Builds for King’s Grace
King’s Grace is most appealing to classes and builds capable of using one of its compatible weapon types without disrupting their primary skill requirements.
Lucky Hit-focused builds can make particularly good use of the weapon, while fast attackers can repeatedly take advantage of its Life On Hit property.
Its broad All Damage multiplier means the weapon does not demand one specific damage type, leaving considerably more freedom when deciding how to build around it.
When King’s Grace Is Worth Using
King’s Grace works best when several parts of the weapon contribute to the build rather than equipping it solely for the Demon and Undead bonuses.
The All Damage multiplier remains useful against ordinary enemies, while Lucky Hit and Life On Hit continue working regardless of the enemy family being fought.
This prevents the weapon from becoming completely dependent on specialized targets, with its enemy-specific bonuses instead serving as additional advantages when applicable.
Verdict
King’s Grace trades complicated mechanics for an unusually concentrated collection of offensive bonuses that can benefit several different styles of combat.
Its x75% All Damage Multiplier provides the foundation, while Lucky Hit Chance and specialized Demon and Undead damage give the weapon additional ways to shine.
For builds capable of using its available weapon bases, King’s Grace offers far more than its relatively straightforward Amn + Ral + Thul recipe might suggest.
