Selected configuration
CommonBirch is Common. The weapon follows the material selected for Short Straight Shaft.
Calculated from the materials selected above. Character bonuses and target defences are separate.
A swing uses swing damage; a thrust uses thrust damage. These are alternatives, not two damages added to every hit.
- Weapon: swing damage
- 25.8
- Metal damage multiplier: Brass hardness 0.3 uses 0.3 here (0–1 limit); 0.3 + the game’s fixed value 0.5 = 0.8×. Globe Head 30 × 0.8 = 24. Component bonuses: 24 × (1 + Wrapped Grip 2.5% + Short Support 5%) = 25.8.
Source items
- Weapon: thrust damage
- 12
- Metal damage multiplier: Brass hardness 0.3 uses 0.3 here (0–1 limit); 0.3 + the game’s fixed value 0.5 = 0.8×. Globe Head 30 × (1 − 50%) × 0.8 = 12. No directional component bonus.
Source items
- Assembled weight
- 6.5
- Short Straight Shaft 1 + Globe Head 4 + Wrapped Grip 1 + Short Support 0.25 + Long Knot 0.25 = 6.5. Unchanged by material choice.
Source items
- Attack stamina cost
- 24
- Short Straight Shaft base: 10 + Globe Head 15 − Long Knot 1 = 24.
Source items
- Attack speed multiplier
- 0.6
- Base attack-speed multiplier: 1 × (1 − Globe Head 40%) = 0.6.
Source items
- Parry stamina cost
- 20
- Short Straight Shaft: 20; fixed parry cost, unchanged by material choice.
Source items
- Weapon inertia
- 0.6
- Short Straight Shaft base: 0.6 (no component bonus).
Source items
- Damage loss per additional target
- 48 %
- Short Straight Shaft base: 0.4 × (1 + Globe Head 15% + Long Knot 5%) = 0.48. 0.48 × 100% = 48%. The next target keeps 1 − this falloff × the number of targets already hit in this attack.

EFFECTS & CONDITIONS
Special properties and effects
Component bonuses are already included in the result above.
Attack stamina cost +15; Attack speed -40%; Damage falloff per additional target +15%.
Globe HeadPiercing property
These hits skip the player armour reduction step and its material resistances. A thrust animation alone does not grant this property.
Globe HeadHow the bonuses apply
Applies when this component is part of equipped gear. Percent changes to the same stat are added together; action-specific damage only applies when that action is available. A larger falloff value means less damage after the first target, not more cleave damage.
These material effects describe the listed default assembly. Changing the striking component’s material can change its properties and on-hit effects. Component adjustments are listed as sources, not an extra bonus to apply again to the calculated assembly.
USING THIS ENTRY
Use & common questions
Grip and shield compatibility
The listed Short Straight Shaft grip/shaft leaves the off-hand available, allowing a shield to be used alongside the weapon.
Game preset reference · before component bonuses
Globe Head: Steel (Rare)
- Swing base damage
- 43.5 points
- Thrust base damage
- 21.75 points
These fixed reference values do not follow the selectors. Your selected weapon and its calculation are shown above.
Attacks and armour
- Swing hit
- Piercing: skips the player armour step
- Thrust hit
- Piercing: skips the player armour step
Each hit uses the damage for its actual move: swing or thrust, never their sum. The weapon has a separate value for each move; armour reducing both does not make them a single attack.
The listed component has Piercing, so its hits skip the player armour step and its material resistances. This does not bypass blocking.
