Overview
Not all is told, so I’ll tell you instead.
Decanter
Did you know that the Decanter trait also increases the rate of purple potion effect by 50%? It’s 50% longer lasting, and 50% faster.
Natural Bond
Did you know that this will sometimes save you with 1 hp? The details are not specifically known, but sometimes you seem to regenerate 1 hp instead of dying.
Weapon Range
Not all weapons have the same range. I’ll list them shortest to furthest. Some weapons have different range for different attacks. If you want exact measurements, I will invite you to test on a dummy.
1 – Daggers
2 – 1h weapons and 2h axe/hammer
3 – 2h swords
4 – Spears
5 – Tuskgor Spear
6 – Halberd Heavy Stab
Fun fact: Dwarf has 2 range for every weapon.
Mobility
Not all weapons let you move at the same rate. Some allow you to move faster while attacking. Good for catching up with teammates. I will list them here.
Billhook (lights)
Elven Spear (heavies)
Tuskgor Spear (hold down heavy)
Dual daggers (lights)
Mace/hammer (lights)
1h Sword (lights)
Elven Greatsword (lights)
Mace and Sword (lights)
Dual axes (lights)
Dual hammers (lights)
Dagger (lights)
Falchion (lights)
Human Greatsword (heavies)
Elven Spear and Shield (lights)
Elven Sword (lights)
Rapier (heavies)
Executioner’s Sword (heavies)
War pick (hold down heavy)
Some weapons also let you move quickly while blocking. Good for moving around defensively. Since the list is shorter, I will list the slow weapons.
(Human) 2h Swords
Billhook
Shield weapons
2h Hammer
2h Axe
Halberd
War Pick
Cog hammer
Shields
Did you know that all shields have stronger pushes? If you put Opportunist on it, you can push even a Chaos Warrior and stun them.
Exceptions:
Chaos Warrior during an attack
Plague Monks during an attack
(maybe a few other elites during attack animation)
Elven Axe
Did you know this weapon has infinite dodges? Technically, it’s 100, but you will never practically reach that many dodges.
This makes it great for Handmaiden, who uses dodges to get stronger.
Halberd
Did you know that the Heavy Stab attack has the farthest reach in the whole game?
It is even longer than the Tuskgor spear, which is already longer than the Elven spear.
Rapier
Did you know this weapon has an infinite ammo pistol? It’s like the Javelin, being both melee and ranged. Tertiary attack will use the pistol.
Did you know you can attack while blocking? While blocking, press tertiary attack to fire a bullet.
Did you know this weapon has two charge levels? If you release early, it does a quicker and weaker charge attack. If you hold it down, it gets stronger.
War Pick
Did you know this weapon has two charge levels? When Bardin’s arms raise up that means you have reached level 2 charge attack.
Did you know the push attack does higher damage than your normal swing? This makes the push attack better to do. It also does high damage to armor, without having to charge up a heavy attack.
Bretonnian Longsword
Did you know that this weapon will block for you, while you are charging a heavy attack? It can also be held indefinitely, allowing you to riposte.
(Human) Great Sword
Did you know this weapon can cleave through armored enemies? This is a rare feature and makes it great for crowd control.
(Human) Spear and Shield
Did you know you can attack while blocking? While holding block, press tertiary attack. Every hit costs stamina.
Billhook
Did you know you can use tertiary attack to stun an enemy? It costs stamina to use.
Brace of Pistols
Did you know this weapon has infinite dodges? Technically, it’s 100, but you will never practically reach that many dodges.
Throwing Axes
Did you know that aiming causes them to be thrown farther?
Beam Staff
Did you know that there is a third attack? While using beam, press secondary attack to fire a bolt.
Masterwork Pistol
Did you know this weapon has infinite dodges? Technically, it’s 100, but you will never practically reach that many dodges.
Griffon-foot Pistol
Did you know this weapon has infinite dodges? Technically, it’s 100, but you will never practically reach that many dodges.
Huntsman Bow
Did you know this weapon has multiple charge levels? The longer you hold it, the more damage it does, to a limit.
Moonbow
Did you know this weapon has 3 different charge levels?
No charge arcs quite a bit, making it bad at long distance.
Some charge fires more straight and does a bit more damage.
Full charge is an explosive arrow. A sound queue is heard, when you reach full charge.
Tuskgor Spear
Did you know that you can hold heavy attack indefinitely? You also run faster than normal while doing this.
Dual Daggers
Did you know that light attacks cause a bleed DoT?
Javelin
Did you know that this weapon causes a bleed DoT with melee attacks?
Sword and Dagger
Did you know the dagger causes a bleed DoT? It only works on the light attacks.
(Elven) Great Sword
Did you know this weapon gains crit chance after a successful swing? This does not happen if your swing does 0 damage (armored hit).
Dual Swords
Did you know this weapon has a very high crit chance? Even with no crit chance modifiers, this weapon will crit ~20% of the time.
You shouldn’t build for crit chance with this weapon, since it already crits reliably. The damage increases are mathematically better.
(Non Elven) Axe
Did you know the push attack has a high crit chance?
