The Bandos godsword is one of the five variants of the Godsword; the hilt is received from General Graardor whilst the blade's shards are attainable from Graardor or any other boss or boss minion in the God Wars Dungeon. As with all godsword variants, it requires level 75 Attack to wield.
Players can attach a Bandos godsword ornament kit, obtained from master clue scrolls, to cosmetically enhance the godsword, creating a Bandos godsword (or). This only alters its appearance, and gives no stat enhancements. It also becomes untradeable. The ornament kit can be removed, returning both the godsword and the ornament kit.

Special attack
The Bandos godsword's special attack, Warstrike, has doubled accuracy, inflicts 21% more damage and drains the opponent's combat levels equivalent to the damage hit in the following order: Defence, Strength, Prayer, Attack, Magic, Ranged. Warstrike consumes 50% of the wielder's special attack energy. Warstrike rolls against the opponent's slash defence roll.
In order for the godsword to drain stats from another category, the current stat that is being drained must hit 0. For example, if a target has 20 Defence, 50 Attack and 20 Prayer and the special attack hits an 80, the target would lose 20 Defence levels, 20 prayer points and 40 Attack levels.
Against Tekton, it drains his combat skills by 10 (following the stat drain order) if it fails to hit.
The special attack animation's colours can be changed to gold, which costs 75 Last Man Standing points. Once unlocked, the gold trim can be toggled at Justine's stuff for the Last Shopper Standing whenever the player desires.
Uses
The special attack is used to reduce the difficulty of various boss fights. Should the wielder hit high damage using Warstrike, the defence of the boss will be significantly decreased, allowing the rest of the fight to be easier, as more of the player's following attacks will hit.
A basic yet effective strategy is to use Warstrike twice in quick succession; the second iteration of the attack is more likely to hit given its Defence reducing capabilities, and its stat-draining effect is cumulative. Alternatively, in a PvP scenario, Warstrike can be followed up using a higher-hitting special attack (e.g. Armadyl godsword) to finish off an opponent after reducing their Defence level.
This special attack is more effective against NPC's and players relying on high defence bonuses rather than high defence levels, as losing defence levels quickly renders defence bonus redundant.

| 19 March 2015 (Update | poll) |
The accurate attack style of the Godswords has been adjusted to use slash rather than crush. As the slash attack bonus on Godswords has always been higher than the crush bonus, having the accurate attack style of the weapons use slash rather than crush means that the accurate attack style takes advantage of the best offensive bonus of the weapon. |
