Abilities/Heavy Cleave

Heavy Cleave fills your Main slot. Melee main ability of the physical school. Base damage 34. Cast 10 ticks. Reach 3.2, arc 140°, up to 8 targets.

You get it by equipping 19 bases across 6 lines: Bearbrand Greatsword, Cragfall Greatsword, Nightglacier Greatsword, Oathbound Greatsword and Sunforge Greatsword and 1 more.

The draft can bend it 7 ways — Echo, Reach, Multiplicity, Area, Force, Duration and Critical — and cards that ask for melee, critical and on_hit will find it.

Between rooms it can be offered 200 cards: 71 written for it specifically, plus the 129 that any ability can take. Those cards can put Burn, Chill and Crumble on it, and attune it to Fire, Frost and Stone.

2 Uniques are built on gear that hands it to you: The Felled Oak and Vowsplitter.
