Shoutout to @mortimer for guiding me towards the "rare downlevel" recipe, and advising that sacred rare Bronze Swords/Kriegsmessershave a high enough quality level to still roll War Cry when downleveled (see https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/items/cube#idx2 for the Rare Downlevel recipe)

The best War Cry swords are now made using this method.
- Find a sacred rare Bronze Sword (or Kriegsmesser - note: higher requirements)
- Cube it over and over with 1 x rare Ring + 1 x rare Amulet until it rolls War Cry with at least 1 available Prefix
- Soulcraft the 30-40 to Physical Magic Spell Damage prefix
- If you are as lucky as I was, you will have another prefix available for 10 to Life Leech (only 2 shop MOs to Arcane Hunger), and/or an open suffix to craft 81-100 Life After Each Kill

Note that the sword failed Oil of Conjuration, and I did not even bless it yet!

In randomly to say that i plan to update this guide but life has taken me out of gaming temporarily and altoiddealer has done a fantastic job by answering questions regarding warcry for the latest patch and i really would like to thank him for keeping so much interest in warcry and helping people.

Hopefully i will make a return for the next season and find some time to allocate to fixing up the guide for more people to enjoy.

Some more important notes for War Cry:

Required Strength: 486
Item Level: 130

is actually a very good option for using in Labs.
- The new
Raven Mantle
item is very, very good for this build (using Soulforge recipe: 20 x Heavenly Souls). A very good Angelic body armor can be much stronger, but feels extremely squishy by comparison.
- The new Mastercrafted Gloves can roll up to +12 to War Cry.
- If you focus on the Energy scaling, you will maximize your War Cry damage (Eerie blessings, Phul/Pul runes, etc)
- If you focus on Spell Damage, you will have a more powerful Singularity (from

Got one more video - it took me over 12 attempts to get past the 1st phase of this fight.

I was hoping the second phase would go a bit smoother, but now I'm burnt out on trying :facepalm:
