Crushflange

Crushflange is a unique Mace in Diablo 2 Resurrected that offers early-game boss-killing potential through its 33% Chance of Crushing Blow. This weapon has earned recognition among speedrunners for its ability to take down Act bosses quickly despite low requirements.

Crushing Blow Advantage

The defining feature of Crushflange is its high Crushing Blow percentage, which removes a percentage of the target's current health per hit. Combined with +50-60% Enhanced Damage, +50% Damage to Undead, and Knockback, this mace punches above its weight class against high-HP enemies like Blood Raven and Andariel.

Speedrun Favorite

Crushflange drops very early in the game and requires only 27 strength to equip. Speedrunners value it because Crushing Blow scales with enemy health, making Normal difficulty bosses fall much faster. The +50% Fire Resist provides additional safety during boss encounters.

Practical Use Window

This mace is effective from level 9 through the completion of Normal difficulty when used for boss farming. The +15 to Strength helps meet equipment requirements. Once you transition to Nightmare difficulty, the low base damage becomes a limitation, and you'll want to upgrade to Bonesnap or exceptional unique maces.
