Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance take players once again in the Forgotten Realms, this time in Icewind Dale. Set after the events of The Crystal Shard, Drizzt Do'Urden and three companions need to stop forces working to acquire Crenshinibon, a crystal shard of awesome yet dreadful power. In this game, Drizzt wields trusty Scimitars to engage opponents in a dance to the death. With the right armaments, he can easily wreak havoc in the battlefield.
Players looking to maximize their Drizzt builds need the right pair of weapons to do the job. Depending on the Scimitar equipped, Drizzt can capitalize on sheer attack power, critical chance, or a wide range of unique abilities.
10 Fire Resistance Scimitar
Tempered in the fires of combat, the Fire Resistance Scimitar is testament to the ever-present nature of war. As God of Battle Tempus said in the flavor text, winning isn't always the one thing that makes combat worthwhile.
While the rest of the Fire Resistance set contains warm quotes from beings all throughout the game, Drizzt's ideals for justice reflect in the Scimitar's description. This Scimitar is a must-have for players who want a dose of damage-over-time fire as a part of their repertoire.
- 3-Piece Set: Drizzt gains 30% bonus to Fire Resistance.
- 5-Piece Set: Drizzt gains 50% bonus to Fire Resistance.
- 8-Piece Set: Drizzt has a 4% chance of unleashing a Fire Burst during a combo that Burns enemies within melee.
9 Necrotic Resistance Scimitar
With the Necrotic Resistance Scimitar, folks with ties to Crenshinibon and the dark forces of the Forgotten Realms highlight their power. True to its name, using this Scimitar lets Drizzt tap into these darker powers, allowing him to curse his foes to damnation.
Like other Scimitars, Drizzt can get more properties out of them depending on their rarity. And depending on the number of pieces equipped, Drizzt can gain a number of benefits. This Scimitar is essential if players want to quickly annihilate foes.
- 3-Piece Set: Drizzt gains a 30% boost to Necrotic Resistance.
- 5-Piece Set: Drizzt gains a 50% boost to Necrotic Resistance.
- 8-Piece Set: His attacks have 5% chance to Curse the enemy, increasing damage taken from all sources.
8 Acid Resistance Scimitar
The best defense is a good offense, and flavor text in the Acid Resistance Scimitar highlights its importance. With this Scimitar, Drizzt learns the value of good defensive strategies. And as other pieces in this set show, good defensive strategies work out in the end.
The Acid Resistance Scimitar and its armor's natural perks are still interesting, however. Players who want to play around with combos with less risk of retaliation will appreciate this weapon.
- 3-Piece Set: Gives Drizzt a 30% boost to Acid Resistance.
- 5-Piece Set: Gives Drizzt a 50% boost to Acid Resistance.
- 8-Piece Set: The Scimitar gives Drizzt a 5% chance to inflict Weaken to opponents, making their hits 50% less potent.
7 Remorhaz Brotherhood Scimitar
Trials forge the fiercest of friendships, and Drizzt forged his with Bruenor Battlehammer through their battles together. As the Remorhaz Brotherhood set inferred, Bruenor once hated the idea of being friends with a Drow, but Drizzt's values changed his mind. Reflecting their unique friendship, the Remorhaz Brotherhood Scimitar also explores Drizzt's magical potential.
As with other weapons, this Scimitar's rarity determines its unique attunements. When wielded as part of the set, the Remorhaz Brotherhood greatly amplifies Drizzt's affinity with elements.
- 3-Piece Set: Drizzt gains 10% Elemental Penetration.
- 5-Piece Set: Drizzt gains 20% Elemental Penetration.
- 8-Piece Set: Drizzt's attacks dish out 40% more Elemental Damage per hit.
6 Wearer Of The Mask Scimitar
Gear within the Wearer of the Mask set highlights Drizzt's experiences with the brutal, compassionless aspects of Drow society. Drizzt explains it himself: the Scimitar is often called the Edge of Readiness, highlighting the necessity to remember that paranoia can transform the best of friends into fearsome foes.
The Scimitar highlights this trait, too, as its bonuses encourage Drizzt to be as merciless as possible. This weapon heavily encourages a stealth build that focuses on precision surprise attacks.
- 3-Piece Set: Gives Drizzt a bonus 25% Stamina for every Execution
- 5-Piece Set: Gives Drizzt a bonus 50% Stamina for every Execution
- 8-Piece Set: If Drizzt wields this Scimitar as part of an eight-piece set, his Executions can instantly grant him Invisibility.
5 Warden Of Mielikki Scimitar
Mielikki, or the Forest Queen, serves as the Goddess of Nature in the Forgotten Realms. Should Drizzt tap into his affinity with nature, the Goddess can bless him as the Warden of Mielikki, granting him powerful armor and an equally potent Scimitar.
With this Scimitar, every strike can help Drizzt regain his strength, befitting his role as protector of nature. The Warden of Mielikki Scimitar incentivizes a lifesteal build, which boosts Drizzt's survivability – perfect for a solo build.
- 3-Piece Set: When used as a three-piece set, Drizzt gains 0.5% Health Regeneration every second.
- 5-Piece Set: When used as a five-piece set, Drizzt gains 1% Health Regeneration every second.
- 8-Piece Set: If Drizzt uses this Scimitar within an eight-piece set, he gets the Second Wind buff every five minutes.
4 Sorcere's Sentinel Scimitar
In the early years of Drizzt's life, he became the apprentice of Masoj Hun'ett, a Drow Wizard at the last year of his studies within Sorcere. Despite his distaste for the combat arts, the Scimitar and the armor set reveals Drizzt's preference for swordplay over magic.
Its relatively mundane lifesteal and Bleed opportunities could use work compared to other weapons. However, it's still a powerful weapon in Drizzt's hands.
- 3-Piece Set: Wielding this Scimitar as part of a three-piece set grants Drizzt a lifesteal boost of 2%.
- 5-Piece Set: Wielding this Scimitar as part of a five-piece set grants Drizzt a lifesteal boost of 5%.
- 8-Piece Set: Using the Scimitar as part of an eight-piece set will give Drizzt 5% chance of inflicting Bleeding, making it a great companion for combo-heavy gameplay.
3 Dragonsbane Scimitar
When Drizzt left the Underdark, it was Montolio Debrouchee, a retired blind Ranger, who taught the Drow how to speak Common and be one with nature. Named after the dragon that forever changed Montolio's life, the Dragonsbane Scimitar also emphasizes Drizzt's training in the precise ways of the Ranger.
While rarity dictates the bonus attributes within the Scimitar, its innate talents synchronize with more pieces of the set. Players who want to maximize their DPS with Drizzt will appreciate this Scimitar.
- 3-Piece Set: Three pieces of the set will grant Drizzt a whopping 20% Critical Damage boost.
- 5-Piece Set: Five pieces of the set will grant Drizzt a 30% Critical Damage boost.
- 8-Piece Set: If he wields all eight pieces of the set, Critical Hits now have a 5% chance to inflict Bleeding.
2 Tundra Raptor Scimitar
The Tundra Raptor set highlights Drizzt's demonstration of Ranger prowess. Thanks to archer Cattie-brie and her insights, Drizzt's wear of choice while hunting in the icy tundra clearly showcases his pragmatic yet talented approach to hunting.
This Scimitar and gear set suits players with a combo-heavy playstyle. With this weapon, DPS per hit matters more than dishing out one giant attack.
- 3-Piece Set: When wielded with a three-piece set, Drizzt gains 15% reduction to Stamina cost.
- 5-Piece Set: When wielded with a five-piece set, Drizzt gains 15% reduction to Stamina cost.
- 8-Piece Set: Wielding with the eight-piece set grants Precision Strikes after a Dash.
1 Do'Urden Prince Scimitar
Zaknafein, Drizzt's father, was a commoner that once attained Do'Urden Patron status thanks to Matron Malice, the former head of the family. When Zaknafein became a mere weapons master in the family, he retained and passed on his good nature and skill in combat to Drizzt.
Players can learn through the Scimitar that Zaknafein had distaste for the Drow's culture of deception and ruthlessness. With the Do'Urden Prince Scimitar, Drizzt can capitalize stealth and ambush builds with this set.
- 3-Piece Set: When wielded with a three-piece set, the Scimitar gives Drizzt bonuses to rear attacks at 10%.
- 5-Piece Set: When wielded with a five-piece set, the Scimitar gives Drizzt bonuses to rear attacks at 15%.
- 8-Piece Set: Drizzt gets a massive advantage when using the Scimitar with an eight-piece set. Blink will now only end after its whole duration, instead of when attacking.
