Cleave Bash – Two-Handed Mechanics for Knights

Cleave is a melee attack that strikes all enemies in a 180-degree arc in front of the player. This ability allows warriors to efficiently deal with multiple foes at once, making it a powerful tool for crowd control and clearing groups of enemies.

Mechanics

  • Weapon Requirements:
    • Requires a two-handed sword, two-handed axe, or two-handed club.
  • Attack Range:
    • Hits all enemies in front of the player within a 180-degree arc.
  • Damage Calculation:
    • Damage is applied to the primary target at full strength.
    • Nearby enemies take a percentage of the original damage dealt to the primary target.
  • Defense Penalty:
    • Players using Cleave take 30% more damage from all sources while attacking.
    • This is represented as a -30% defense penalty, making the user more vulnerable to counterattacks.

Combat Strategy

  • Best Used Against: Groups of melee enemies that cluster together.
  • Risk vs. Reward: Deals high area damage, but comes at the cost of increased vulnerability.
  • Positioning Matters: Maximizing the number of enemies hit while avoiding dangerous counterattacks is key.
