For example, it is possible to block a Sledgehammer with a Great Hammer, which weighs more, whereas a Maul can easily crush the block of an opponent that uses a one-handed sword. For example, a 90 degree full-speed hammer charge slam into the target will result in full damage and stun to the enemy, but a near-miss done standing still will fail for sure.Īdditionally, the effect's chances are based on the weight difference between the two weapons that clash. The chance of a block crush depends on the damage and crush angle.
Against chamber blocking, if the attack made would have crushed through a normal block, it will also ignore chamber blocking but the slow speed of most crushing weapons can still result in the attack being interrupted by the enemy's own blow landing first. When on foot, only the overhead swing can result in a crushing blow. It tends to occur against a shield in most cases, and very rarely against weapons. It depends on your speed bonus, the resistance of the shield, and some luck. With this effect, a weapon can literally break through blocks, dealing damage and stuns over a shield or weapon block. Can crush through blocks is special effect only some kinds of Melee weapons can deal in Warband and With Fire & Sword.
