Overview

Broad Sword is a standard power set that is a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.

"Wield a Broad Sword and master a variety of powerful lethal attacks. Slower than a Katana or Ninja Blade, the Broad Sword's weight strikes with more force and damage.

Powers

Sword AssassinsSlash.png Assassin's Slash

Using this power while not hidden has a chance to critically hit equal to 33.3% times the number of stacks of Assassin's Focus. Using Assassin's Strike while not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.
