Rixot's Keen is a unique Short Sword from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. One of the earliest unique items, Rixot's Keen is a good starting weapon, should one be lucky enough to find one early in the game. While its damage range seems unimpressive, its properties are not. Against bosses and other monsters with huge amounts of life, its Crushing Blow properties can tear out large chunks of an enemy Life bar and allow a melee fighter a much easier time against foes like Duriel and Mephisto. Given that it has a 100% Enhanced Damage property, it is a good candidate for having its longevity increased by upgrading it to a Gladius. As a Gladius however, it has a level 30 Requirement.
