Heavy Weapons is a combat skill in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

Description[]

The art of fighting with heavy weapons. These are characterized by devastating attacks and, due to their penetration power, are suitable for combat against armoured opponents. However, they offer little defense, and martial experience suggests combining them with shields and your own quality armour.

The higher your skill with heavy weapons, the faster your attacks will be, inflicting more damage and making it harder for your opponent to defend against them.

You gain experience primarily through combat with the respective weapons.

Heavy Weapons include clubs, maces, axes and war hammers.

Name	Effect	Min. lvl
Sundering Blow	When you hit an enemy with a Heavy weapon, their armour will count as 10 lower.	6 lvl

Brute Force	You deal 5% more damage with Heavy weapons.	8 lvl
Aim to maim!	If your axe attack causes your opponent to bleed, they'll bleed a quarter faster, making it easier to finish them off and they won't run far from you.	10 lvl
Bonebreaker	If you wound an opponent with a war hammer, mace or cudgel, their stamina will recover 15% slower. The effect lasts for 15 seconds.	10 lvl
Menacing Presence	When clad in armour and equipped with a heavy weapon, enemies are more likely to flee or surrender. And if they dare to face you, it will be harder for them to fight you. It's also easier to succeed in Might and Dread skillcheck.	12 lvl
Sundering Blow II	When you hit an enemy with a heavy weapon, their armour will count as if it were 20 lower in total.	14 lvl

Concussing Blow	After performing a combo with a warhammer, mace or club, the affected enemy will not be able to perform a Dodge or a Master strike, and generally his ability to defend himself will be greatly reduced. The effect will last for 20 seconds.	16 lvl
Brute Force II	You deal an additional 5% more damage with Heavy weapons.	18 lvl
Hack and Slash	Each of your subsequent heavy weapon attacks in an uninterrupted sequence will thus cause greater damage than the previous one. The sequence can be interrupted by a successful block or dodge on the opponent's side, or by too much delay between attacks, or injury on your side.	18 lvl
