Fighting Styles
One-Handed:
Two-Handed: Two-Handed weapons have a chance to proc Domino Strikes on hit, which will cause splash damage to nearby enemies. When Domino Strikes procs, it will hit at least one adjacent or one off enemy, and up to a maximum of two enemies in either direction (a maximum total number of 4 enemies splashed). Enemies further than one off will not be effected. Splash damage targets have an unreduced chance to be hit with standard weapon procs like Bleeding Wounds. Splash damage is calculated as 75% damage on adjacent enemies and 50% on enemies one off.
- Proc chance is calculated from Two-Handed Proficiency, Strength, and Dexterity.
Dual Wielding: Equipping two one-handed weapons has a chance to proc Offhand Strike on hit, which will cause an extra attack against the targeted enemy with the same damage type as your offhand weapon. Offhand Strikes also have the chance to proc their own weapon proc. Offhand weapon damage is reduced by 50% - 1% per 10 points of dual wielding proficiency, capping at 250 proficiency (25% damage reduction). The offhand weapon also gets a 50% boost to its Parry.
- Proc chance is calculated from Dual Wielding Proficiency, Agility, and Dexterity.
Niten Ichiryu: A special Fighting Style that allows a Wakizashi to be equipped in the offhand with a Katana in the mainhand, bypassing the Katana's two-handed nature. While using Niten Ichiryu, both the Dual Wielding and Two-Handed proficiencies come into play. The stats of the Katana and the chance of Domino Strikes are determined by Two-Handed, while the stats of the Wakizashi and the chance of an Offhand Strike are determined by Dual Wielding. However, unlike normal dual wielding, offhand damage is reduced by 75% (upgradable to 50% through proficiency) and the offhand does not gain a parry bonus. Additionally, no weapon proficiencies are gained when using this style.
