A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range. View Full Legend Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second. Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart. Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Notes

• Projectiles have infinite Punch Through but it has random exceptions, like Grineer doors and railings on Grineer Galleons. In these cases the projectile will immediately explode instead of going through.
• Projectiles that explode naturally (after a certain distance or randomly when punching through enemies) deal very minimal damage.
• The player must be not moving forward, sliding, or in the process of slowing down from forward movement in order to utilize the projectile attack, otherwise they will do the forward block attack instead.
• Projectiles do not build combo on hit.

Known Bugs

•  Condition Overload is multiplicative to base damage sources on direct hits from waves.

Trivia

• The term Verdilac refers to one of many spellings of a creature of Slavic and Russian folklore, also spelled "Verdilak", "Wurdulac", or "Wurdalak". It is very similar to a combination of vampire and werewolf, however the compulsion of the Verdilac is not to merely drink blood, but it must consume the blood and flesh of its own family and bloodline, converting them into verdilac as well. For this, it is sometimes known as "The Twice Cursed Vampire".
