In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the Rune Word “Edge,” focusing on its characteristics and effectiveness in Diablo II. The Edge Rune Word is a low-level word attainable at level 25, made for missile weapons such as bows and crossbows. It features the Thorns aura when equipped, which is beneficial for summoning classes in normal and nightmare difficulties due to its damage return of 810 percent. It is noted that Thorns only deals physical damage, so it is more effective when coupled with abilities like Amplified Damage or Decrepify. However, in Hell difficulty, Thorns becomes less impactful due to monster HP increases. Recommendations are made to switch to other auras like Might, Concentration, or Fanaticism in Hell difficulty to enhance minion damage.

The bow provides increased attack speed, damage bonuses to demons and undead, lifesteal, prevent monster heal effect, attributes boost, mana gain after kills, and reduces all vendor prices by 15%.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how cost reduction does not apply to gambling in the game, but the Edge Bow and Heads effects do work for gambling. When at shops in Act 2, excluding the gambling shop, and equipped with Kaheeds, the Bow, and after completing Radim’s quest, players receive a 45% reduction in prices for all items. The speaker recommends having Heads and the Edge Bow for gambling to benefit from both effects. They demonstrate the price change in a gambling window with the bow equipped. The Edge Bow is highlighted for its affordability and ability to provide the thorns aura for the player and minions. The speaker suggests the Edge Bow is most commonly used for vendor price reduction, but the thorns aura can be valuable for summoning armies for lower-level Summon Necromancer players.
