The Scourging Slayer is a sword in Valheim, dealing 170 slash and 10 lightning. At 180 total damage it is 2nd of the 15 swords, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Lightning damage hurts Lava Blob, Morgen and Blob more than most things, which is what to carry it for.

How to Craft

Crafted at Black forge, station level 4.
Costs 1x Slayer, 15x Flametal, 1x Iolite at quality 1.
Materials can be found in the Ashlands biome.

When to Use It

Late game. Flametal is in the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes and, until 1.0, the hardest biome in the game.

Upgrades

Upgraded 3 times after crafting, each level wanting the station built one step further up than the last. Every figure quoted elsewhere on this wiki is quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy is somewhere on:

Quality	Crafting Station	Slash	Lightning	Durability	Resources
1	Black forge (Level 4)	170	10	200	1x Slayer 15x Flametal 1x Iolite
2	Black forge (Level 5)	176	10	250	15x Flametal 1x Iolite
3	Black forge (Level 6)	182	10	300	30x Flametal 2x Iolite
4	Black forge (Level 7)	188	10	350	45x Flametal 3x Iolite

Properties

The best of the 3 Slayers in a crowd. Iolite adds 10 lightning and a 25% chance on the primary of chain lightning: 75 damage that ignores skill, cannot be blocked or dodged, and bounces to 2 to 4 more targets within 8 metres.

A wide swing that procs is 2 effects at once. The two-handed primary already catches several enemies without splitting its damage, and each of those hits rolls for the chain separately. In a Charred Fortress corridor that compounds in a way no flat damage number shows.

Notes

Lightning is the least resisted type in the game: one creature resists it and none are immune.
