What it does

The Power Blow for heavy weapons, on its trigger and terms (the opener and the heave: the press swings at once; keep LMB held past that swing's end to raise the weapon; charge 0 to 1 over 0.8 s, mace 0.6 s; stamina 1.5x the class's swing paid as the charge begins: warhammer 25, greataxe 23, greatsword 20, mace 14; walk x0.45; release at the class wind-up x0.5, warhammer 0.15 s; at full +10 % crit and unparryable; held 1.0 s at full it fires itself). The Hammer's version: power lerp(1.3, 1.8) but stagger lerp(8, 32); at full the head lands in the ground: reach +0.2 tile and a ring of radius 1.2 tiles at 0.4 of the blow round the landing point (a warhammer's own shockwave instead grows to 0.5 of the blow in radius 1.6). Weight: every pip pre-fills 0.15 of the charge (0.45 at 3 pips); all pips are spent on release.

Edge: Quick Heat

Full charge in 0.6 s instead of 0.8 s (mace 0.45 s).
