The realm of Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft is vast and filled with numerous weapons to aid your adventures. Among these weapons, the Shadow Fury stands out, especially with its recent buffs. This guide aims to provide comprehensive insights into obtaining, upgrading, and using the Shadow Fury effectively.
Obtaining the Shadow Fury
The Shadow Fury is a LEGENDARY Dungeon Sword you can procure from Dungeon Reward Chests. Specifically, it's obtainable from the Bedrock Dungeon Reward Chest in the Catacombs Floor V. Whether you're opting for Normal mode or Master mode, the Bedrock chest will set you back by 15,000,000 coins. The base drop rate and the S+ drop rate vary slightly between the two modes.
Upgrading the Sword
The Shadow Fury is not just a standalone sword; it's a weapon that can be upgraded using various elements:
- Sword Enchantments: Make your sword more potent.
- Sword Reforges: Refine and re-tune the sword's abilities.
- Recombobulator 3000: Enhance its base stats.
- Hot Potato and Fuming Potato Books: Add minor stat boosts to your weapon.
- The Art Of War: Possibly to enhance its combat strategy.
- Master Stars: Ideal for those aiming for the very peak of combat prowess.
- Gemstones: Infuse the weapon with gemstones to unlock additional powers.
Furthermore, the Shadow Fury can be reinforced with Power Scrolls and Livid Fragments. When upgraded with Livid Fragments, it's generally referred to as the 'fragged Shadow Fury'.
Essence Upgrading
For further enhancement, you can use the Wither Essence. Each level of upgrade requires a certain amount of essence and sometimes, some coins.
Usage and Abilities
The true might of the Shadow Fury lies in its special ability. When you right-click, it teleports you to up to 5 enemies within 12 blocks, rooting them for you to land a hit. This ability has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
Trivia and History
The Shadow Fury shares similarities with the Silent Death, especially its teleportation trait. An interesting facet is its parallel with a feature in the StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void campaign. Since its introduction on September 17th, 2020, the Shadow Fury has witnessed several buffs, notably on September 28th, 2022, and a fix on April 18th, 2023.
Shadow Fury vs. Giant Sword: A Quick Comparison
Recent insights from a YouTube video suggest that while the Shadow Fury is considerably cheaper than the Giant Sword, the latter deals about 20% more damage. Given this slight increase in power, is the fourfold price of the Giant Sword justified? That remains a matter of personal preference and gaming strategy.
In conclusion, the Shadow Fury in Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft is a powerful weapon, especially post its buffs. Whether you choose it over other swords like the Giant Sword largely depends on your budget and gaming needs. But no matter the choice, may you conquer all adversaries in your path!
