A warrior exclusive combat maneuver, '''Mighty Blow''' is an attack that briefly reduces the [[stance]] of the defender, possibly reducing their ability to defend the attack. It also increases the amount of damage done on a successful hit. Testing indicates the increase is 10% of weapon [[damage factor]] per rank (+50% damage factor increase at rank 5).
|rank1 = 2

|rank2 = 4
Use of the combat maneuver costs 5 more [[stamina]] if the weapon used is a two-handed weapon or if two weapons are used, for a total cost of 30 stamina. A Mighty Blow is one second slower than a traditional attack.
