What it does

On the Power Blow's trigger (the opener and the heave: keep LMB held past a swing's end): both axes rise crossed overhead (an axe: its beard hooked behind the head) and the charge fills 0 to 1 over 0.5 s (divided by attack speed x weapon speed); you walk at x0.45, no sprint; Space dodges out (charge lost). Release: they fall together in a 70 degree arc at the weapon's reach + 0.1: at full charge 2.4x (twinaxe: two fresh hits of 1.2x, the left 0.04 s later; axe: one hit of 2.4x), heavy, unparryable, +10 % crit chance, stagger 24; partly charged lerp(0.8x, 2.4x) and stagger lerp(6, 24). A full charge reaps: every gash on the first foe it lands on is consumed for +0.4x each (5 gashes: +2.0x, so up to 4.4x). 20 stamina as the charge starts. Under 0.15 charge it is a plain swing and the stamina comes back. Charge to recovery takes about 0.9 s against three twin blows (3.0x): without a reap it loses 20 % a second, so the reap and the stagger are why you hold.

Edge: Raven's Cross

Full charge in 0.4 s (-20 %).
