Sundering

Version 0.34: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

After you perform multiple consecutive attacks, its next attack will deal greatly increased damage and also cleave into targets an extra space away.

The sundering brand, exclusive to Axes, does the following:

• Every consecutive attack will store up power, releasing it on the 7th attack, dealing triple damage at higher accuracy, and with 1 more tile of cleaving reach.
• Attacking with something else, or doing anything else but attacking on your turn will cause the count to reset.

Sources

Sundering can only generate and exist on axes. It is available through both random generation and through a scroll of brand weapon.

History

• Sundering was introduced, along with the other weapon type specific brands, in 0.34.
