Curved Club

Notes

• With Standard affinity, physical damage favors Strength over Dexterity. Heavy removes Dexterity scaling and reaches S Strength scaling at maximum upgrade. The letter alone does not guarantee more damage than every other hammer.
• Despite its curved shape, this is a hammer dealing Strike damage, rather than a curved sword dealing Slash damage. It has no innate bleed, poison or frost.
• Requires 11 Strength and 7 Dexterity, weighs 5.0 and has a normal critical rating of 100.
• On Heavy affinity, certain independent Strength-scaling skill projectiles have slightly weaker scaling than the ordinary Heavy upgrade family. Ground Slam and Flame of the Redmanes are examples. This exception does not weaken every skill or apply on every affinity.
• Barbaric Roar costs 16 FP and lasts 40 seconds. It strengthens physical damage and Strength scaling, and changes the heavy attacks into longer combinations. Leave yourself enough time to finish the combination safely.
• Roar Medallion and an actively held Highland Axe improve the changed heavy attacks. Axe Talisman helps their fully charged versions. Shard of Alexander does not boost these weapon attacks simply because a skill enabled them.
• The roar is a weapon buff. Putting the weapon away or replacing its coating ends it. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs, but does not stack with the roar coating.
• Can use compatible Ashes of War and upgrades with Smithing Stones to +25. Replacing Barbaric Roar also replaces its temporary heavy-attack combinations.
• The weapon has a 2% base drop chance at 100 Item Discovery from its Albinauric carriers. Higher Item Discovery improves that chance, but does not guarantee a drop after a set number of kills.
