Stunt

A “critical hit” that deals extra damage and can produce different effects.

Specifics

Only humans (including NPCs) can stunt.

The extra damage from Stunt is based on weapon tier. Transformed limbs are treated as tier 3 weapons for this formula.

Stunt damage and effects for interfusion attacks are calculated based on the equipped weapon (or tier 3 if both arms are transformed).

In addition to extra damage, elemental and some artifact weapons (such as Halehammer) will produce further effects. (See Elemental Stunts below.)

Stunt activate after warrior Broadswipes but before Knockback effects. Hence, stunt effect area range is based on the initial position of the attacked target.

If an attack will hit multiple targets simultaneously (e.g. Through Shot or Splinterblast), the attacker's chance to stunt on each target is calculated by the following formula: finalStuntChance = stuntChance * (2 / (numTargets + 1))

Elemental Stunts
