What it does

Only on a Staggered S or M foe within 1.3 tiles. Slam the shield down on it (power 3.8, heavy) and pin it under the rim for up to 2.5 s: it can't move or act (the grapple hold, never stunT or the hold status, so Coup de Grace ignores it) and counts as staggered for the whole pin (+20 % from all blows, open to the death blow). You stand on the shield (no moving); each LMB is a thrust under the rim at power 1.8 and +25 % crit chance, on your weapon's own cycle and stamina. RMB, the 2.5 s, a blow on you of 10 %+ of your max health or 0 stamina ends it; the foe is then braced (no new stagger for 4 s). Never on L bodies, riders, Deep bosses, structures, sentries or bodies for sale.

Edge: Heavy Linden

Pin 2.5 -> 3.2 s.
