Scepter of the Pious is a Royal Arm Weapon.
How to Obtain
"Semi optional" Royal arm. You will get a quest to get it during the main quest in Chapter 6, but you don't have to follow it. The tomb is at the end of Malmalan Thicket.
Movesets
- Basic combo: Starts with the combo starter of Trident of the Oracle (the next one after this). The main body of the combo is from Sword of the Wise. The combo finisher is from Axe of the Conqueror.
- Forward + O: Main body of the combo changes to that of Sword of the Tall.
- Side + O: Main body of the combo changes to that of Blade of the Mystic.
- Backwards + O: Main body of the combo changes to that of Trident of the Oracle. Releasing the stick and re-pushing it in various directions makes Noct jump in that direction and begin aerial combo.
- Aerial attack: From Axe of the Conqueror.
- Phase-counter: From Axe of the Conqueror.
- Warp-strike: Noct throw the scepter above the enemy, warps to it and throws it down at the enemy. Then he warps it back to him, changes to Axe form and does a single descending strike.
- Note: You can interrupt most of this weapon's combos by performing the input for other combos. It's a complicated mess. Check the video if you want to know more. This weapon also uses the magic stat in damage calculations.
- How to use: The ultimate jack of all trades. Has traits from many other weapons, but lacks their best parts. This weapon is amazing on a magic build and lets you have a varied moveset without sacrificing equipment slots.
Additional Information
- Unique warp strike: Noctis launches the scepter into the air, then slams down for high damage from the sky. Can help you pretend you're Aranea. This move is identical to the Trident of the Oracle's warp strike except for the follow-up, which manifests as the Axe of the Conqueror's warp strike.
- Trait: Armiger Arsenal. This weapon takes on the form of other Royal Arms for its combo attacks. Each directional input summons a different Royal Arm: forwards summons the Sword of the Tall, backwards summons the Trident of the Oracle (including it's hologram attack trait), and sideways summons the Blade of the Mystic. No input summons the Sword of the Father. Aerial attacks and all Royal Arms finishers are replaced with the Axe of the Conqueror's moveset.
