'''Broad Sword''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s, and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s.
{{TOCright}}
'''Broad Sword''' is one of the powersets.  It is a [[Scrapper]] primary power set in City of Heroes.


Wield a Broad Sword and master a variety of powerful lethal attacks. Slower than a [[Katana]], the Broad Sword's weight strikes with more force and damage. The broad sword can reduce an enemy's defense, allowing other attacks to hit more reliably. The broad sword is a powerful melee weapon that has a bonus to accuracy. Like all scrapper powers, all broad sword attacks can sometimes land a critical hit for double damage.

=== [[File:Sword_AssassinsSlash.png]] Assassin's Slash ===
A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior lethal damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage, as you impale your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. 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.

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. The broad sword can reduce an enemy's defense, allowing other attacks to hit more reliably. The broad sword is a powerful melee weapon that has a bonus to accuracy."

Powers

Sword AssassinsSlash.png Assassin's Slash

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior lethal damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage, as you impale your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. 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.
