Broadswipes is a Warrior ability.

In-Game Description

 (Passive) Hero's melee attacks deal x damage to all other foes within range.

Upgrade

 Broadswipes deals +2 damage to enemies within range.

Specifics

  • Damage = Bonus Damage + Potency, minimum 1
  • Bonus damage and potency are both rounded down before being summed
  • Damage from Broadswipes counts as an attack for setting up flanking

Tips

  • Broadswipes is widely regarded as the strongest ability for high-level warriors. Stack enough Bonus Damage and Potency and it can become mass-murdering. Bloodrage also boosts Broadswipes damage.
  • Combine with Long Reach and/or spears to increase the number of targets within range.
  • Most melee attacks trigger Broadswipes, including single-action attacks like Sting and swift-action attacks like Shieldshear or Wolf Bite (but not Backslam). A warrior with Broadswipes should ideally have the capability to perform at least two Broadswipe-triggering actions each turn.
  • Frenzy triggers Broadswipes three times with one action.
  • A mystic can trigger a warrior's Broadswipes using Blazing Sword.
  • Applies some weapon effects (e.g. poison or extra damage to specific enemies) to all targets.
  • In certain situations, Sting and Swipes can hit and Broadswipe the same target.
