Weapon Skills & Offhand Attacks¶
Right-click activates a Weapon Skill. A successful use consumes 1 food or saturation, costs 1 additional weapon durability, and starts a cooldown equal to 1.5 times the weapon's attack cooldown. In Survival, food level must remain above 6 after use.
Weapon Skills¶
| Weapon | Skill | Requirement | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dagger | Slice | Main or offhand | One weapon attack, Slowness II for 4 seconds, and 20% Armor reduction with a minimum of 4 Armor |
| Rapier | Pierce | Single wield | +25% Attack Range, pierces multiple targets in a line, then rapidly repositions |
| Spear | Charge | Hold to build momentum | A rushing thrust based on movement speed; Halberd uses Sweep instead |
| Scythe | Sweep | Single wield | +25% Attack Range and +50% sweep angle; 75% base damage plus Sweeping Damage |
| Vanilla Sword | Heavy Strike | Single wield | 135% damage and increased knockback to the main target; grounded sweeps deal 35% base damage plus Sweeping Damage nearby |
| Vanilla Axe | Slash | Single wield | One attack that ignores 50% of target Armor, with a minimum of 10 Armor ignored |
| Greatsword | Lion's Slash | Single wield and airborne | Rapid descent through targets in a line; always counts as a Leap Attack |
Some special weapon variants replace their family's skill. Every variant's assigned skill is listed under Special Weapon Variants.
Offhand Attacks¶
Right-clicking a valid target attempts an offhand attack if the main hand did not activate a Weapon Skill. The offhand item must be a ready melee weapon and cannot be a shield or an item with its own use action.
Offhand attacks can target hostile mobs, animals, and players. Villagers, merchants, horses, tamed mobs, and entities that open an interface retain their right-click interaction.
The attack uses the offhand weapon's Attack Damage, Attack Speed, and affixes. Daggers can activate Slice directly from the offhand.
Related Affixes¶
- Weapon Skill Damage affects attacks caused by Weapon Skills only.
- Single-Wield Damage requires an empty offhand.
- Leap Attack Damage requires a vanilla leap-attack critical; it is unrelated to an affix-triggered Critical Strike.
- Sweeping Damage affects Sweep and Heavy Strike's grounded area hit.
