[[Quickstrike]] is a [[Combat Maneuver]] that reduces the [[roundtime]] for an attack with a tradeoff of reduced [[AS]]. This skill may be also used with [[Two Weapon Combat]] with respective [[stamina]] costs.

Additional ranks in [[Quickstrike]] will yield greater roundtime reductions and decreased AS penalties, as shown below:
*Rank 1: -20 [[AS]] and -1 [[RT]]
*Rank 2: -15 [[AS]] and -1 [[RT]]
*Rank 3: -10 [[AS]] and -2 [[RT]]
*Rank 4: -5 [[AS]] and -2 [[RT]]
*Rank 5: No [[AS]] penalty and -3 [[RT]]

===Stamina Cost===
[[Quick Strike]]'s stamina cost is determined by the weapon's [[base speed]].

If a weapon's base speed is ''less than or equal to'' +5, add 2 per point. For example, a player swinging a [[longsword]] (base speed +4) will incur a stamina cost of '''16''' (8 + [2 * 4]).

If a weapon's base speed is greater than 5, For weapons with a base speed greater than 5, an increasing penalty 1 stamina per base speed over 5 seconds is applied. This is applied on top of each previous second's stamina penalty. For example, swinging a [[katana]] with two hands (base speed of +6) will incur a stamina cost of '''24''' (8 + [2 * 5] + 6).

When using [[Two Weapon Combat]], the stamina cost is determined by the sum of the primary weapon's base speed and half of the secondary weapon's base speed (rounded up), plus one. For example, using [[Quickstrike]] with a primary [[short sword]] (base speed +3) and a secondary [[main gauche]] (base speed +2) will cost '''17''' stamina (8 + [2 * (3 + (0.5 * 2)] + 1).

The stamina cost for [[Quickstrike]] will never exceed 25.
