Best Base Items for Lawbringer

Phase Blade

Find on Traderie ↗

Indestructible + fast. Lawbringer Phase Blade on a switch or as a merc weapon is excellent. Decrepify proc slows and weakens enemies.

Budget: Crystal Sword — Cheap 4-socket sword. Works fine for the Sanctuary aura and Decrepify procs.
