Cleave is a melee attack that deals damage with all equipped weapons to enemies in a 180 degree arc in front of the player. When dual wielding, equipment requirement applies to both weapons, and each weapon does reduced damage. Requires an axe, sword, two-handed axe, or two-handed sword.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Attack Speed: When dual wielding attack speed is averaged between the two weapons.
  • Dual Wielding: If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance values, it is possible for one weapon to get a critical strike when the other doesn't. It is also possible to miss with only one of the weapons swung. The decrease to damage while dual wielding is multiplicative and applies to all damage bonuses.
