What it does

Toggle. Raise it (15 stamina) and settle into the smith's rhythm: while it's up your basic heavy swings add 8 stagger each (basic swings add none otherwise) and every third basic blow in a row on the same foe adds 1 Sunder. While up: stamina regen x0.6, move x0.85, no sprint. It drops when you press it again, dodge, sprint, use a technique other than Anvil-Stroke or Pendulum, or mount; Berserk keeps it. Cooldown 4 s after it drops.

Edge: Even Strokes

Basic blows add 10 stagger instead of 8.
