Splitnir the Storming carries an Iolite, and it suits the crowded fights of the Ashlands, where lightning leaps on from the body you have just run through. It deals 135 pierce and 10 lightning. Its 145 total damage ties with Splitnir the Primal, a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Pierce damage hurts Ticks and Trolls more than most things, which is what you carry it for.
How to Craft
Made at a level 4 black forge, from:
- 1x Splitnir: Made at a black forge.
- 6x Flametal: Smelted from flametal ore in a blast furnace.
- 1x Iolite: Found in the charred fortresses of the Ashlands.

Late game. Flametal is found in the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes.
Upgrades
It can be upgraded 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step higher than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this table shows where your own copy sits:

Properties
Its draw is chain lightning, rolled at the game's fastest attack rate. Iolite adds 10 lightning and a 25% chance on hit of chain lightning. The chain deals 75 damage that ignores skill and cannot be blocked or dodged, and it has an 80% chance to bounce to 2 to 4 more targets within 8 metres.
That fixes the real problem with spears. Pierce is the most resisted damage type in the game and lightning the least, so the chain lands where the spear itself is being blunted. In the Ashlands, that is most of the time.
Notes
- A spear throw takes 1.04 seconds from start to finish.
- Thrown spears float, so a spear thrown at a Serpent can be picked up again instead of sinking.
- Each primary attack steps forward only 0.33 meters, less than any other melee weapon type, so it rarely carries the player into a second enemy.
- Upgrades raise only its pierce damage, from 135 to 153, while its lightning damage stays at 10 at every quality level.
