  • The prayer rod truly shines after adding multiple additional elemental damage mods to it. Those mods will stack with the weapon's default elemental damage, making for a very powerful weapon that effectively ignores AV and can be used successfully against even end-game creatures.
  • When modded with the Electrified mod, the prayer rod can potentially trigger the Whenever you deal electric damage, there's a 25% chance... cooking effect twice from a single hit.
  • As the prayer rod doesn't need to penetrate to deal its elemental damage, it can be particularly useful to an agility-based Cudgel build with low strength.
    • This also makes it useful as a backup weapon for any agility based build, as obtaining Cudgel Proficiency only takes 50 skill points.
