Hawk Stance

Upon activation a hawk will appear beside for a moment before flying away

HawkStanceAbility

Hawk stance is affected by the 2nd Ability stat

Hawk Stance is a Barbarian stance ability unlocked at level 25.

This ability costs a flat 120 mana and once activated his next melee attack will deal massive damage, using both weapons simultaneously. Afterwards, the Barbarian cannot attack or activate any other stances for 2 seconds, followed by a 2-second cooldown before it can be used again. Its damage scales off of the Barbarian's Ability 2, Hero Damage and the base melee damage of his weapons.

In Redux, if used in conjunction with Lightning Stance, 35% lightning damage is added to both hits.

Notes/Tips[]

  • Slow, large, high base damage weapons benefit Hawk Stance the most, such as hammers, wrenches and the Fire Axe. The execution time is barely affected by the weapons' swing speeds.
  • Hawk Stance consumes 120 mana the moment it is activated. Therefore, getting hit by a spider web (unless Turtle Stance is also active) before you attack will result in wasted mana.
  • This ability cannot be combined with Battle Leap or Battle Pound to make those abilities deal more damage.
  • With proper timing, the massive burst damage of this ability can reduce the number of attack cycles required to defeat certain bosses, including the Genie King, Kraken and Goblin Battlecruiser.

History[]

Redux[]

  • ?: Unleashing Hawk Stance with Lightning Stance also active now adds 35% lightning damage to both hits.
