When facing the hungry throngs on Wraeclast, offense truly is the best form of defense. Skilled melee combatants have mastered the technique of the Heavy Strike, a devastating blow they unleash with an Axe, Mace or any two-handed weapon. Heavy Strike lands with terrifying force, knocking foes back and often stunning them, if not killing them outright.
Description on the official Path of Exile website [1]
Heavy Strike is an melee attack that hits and knocks back an enemy, using a mace, axe, sword or any two-handed weapon.
Skill functions and interactions
- Dual Wielding: Dual wielders can use Heavy Strike as long as one of their weapons is an axe, sword or mace. If only one weapon is an axe, sword or mace, only that weapon will be used to attack. If both weapons are axes and/or swords and/or maces, the attack will alternate between weapons.
- Reduced Enemy Stun Threshold: This modifier increases the chance that enemies struck by Heavy Strike are stunned. This is additive with other reduced Enemy Stun Threshold modifiers, such as from Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Stun".
