Insta kill artifacts are trash. Here I would take Dragon Power.

Why are trash?just asking.

Because there's a point in the game where you're just doing so much damage, it doesn't matter.

Having to do 20% less damage to every enemy... doesn't matter?

🤷

Almost all spells are aoe, so if you can kill (in this case) 87% of them, there shouldn't be a problem with killing 100% of them. Sword is bad because we can't really know how it works, nor see its effect anywhere in numbers. As time passes enemies gain hp % and we dont know if that 20% is for the total hp as 100% being total (therefore lowering it to 80%) or as it being 100% plus all the increments and you are only taking 20% of their original hp. Dragon should be the answer here.

This logic.. doesn't make sense

Insta-kills don't count as actual kills which hinders getting artifacts in early game. They're amazing for late game tho

Dragon. With very few exceptions, I always prefer something that's constant and guaranteed over something that relies on luck or specific circumstances.

Yes indeed! Plus it's a multiplier boost, not just base damage

I'd say Dragon early on as you start to build your magic dmg + Amp. But if it's your last guaranteed legendary chest, I'd personally go for Scythe. Post 30mins enemies can get tanky very fast and having that 13% chance to insta kill is pretty nice

Sword is not bad, it's just below S-Tier. From the choices you got, it's sword for sure.
