What it does

A Boss blow: punch the shield's boss forward. Wind-up 0.10 s, active 0.06, recover 0.22 (attack speed applies). Reach 1.1 tiles, arc 70 degrees, power 1.4 of the main-hand roll, knock 220, heavy; 10 poise. Spends all Brace (+10 % power and +5 poise a stud). A foe in its wind-up is knocked out of it (Recover): S and M always, L only with 3+ studs spent. In Shield-Wall and Shield-Fort the guard stays up through it: the one Boss blow that keeps the stance.

Edge: Hard Boss

Poise 10 -> 13.
