Weapon Special attack is an ability that can only be used when specific weapons that have a special attack are equipped. The effect and adrenaline cost vary from weapon to weapon.

## Normal combat modeEdit

To use the special attack of a weapon, the ability needs to activated which can be found in the Powers interface, under the Defensive tab, under the Constitution sub-tab. When wielding a weapon that has a special attack, the name of the ability changes to the name of the special attack for that weapon, however the icon will always be the same. Alternatively, one may click on the Adrenaline bar on the Action bar to use a special attack.

Items such as the Ring of vigour and the Asylum surgeon's ring can reduce the adrenaline needed to perform a special attack.

Each special attack requires a certain amount of adrenaline to use, which is also consumed on use. For example, the Korasi's sword special attack, Disrupt, may only be used at 60% adrenaline, and once it is used, 60% adrenaline is drained. There are no cooldowns for using most special attacks, one exception being the Zaros godsword's.

## Legacy combat modeEdit

To use the special attack in Legacy combat mode, the Legacy interface mode also needs to enabled; from there, the special attack bar can be found at the bottom of the Combat Settings menu.

Each special attack requires a certain amount of special attack energy to use, which is also consumed on use. For example, the Korasi's sword special attack, Disrupt, requires 60% special attack energy, and once it is used, 60% energy is drained.

### Ability damage in Legacy combat modeEdit

Because ability damage does not exist in Legacy combat, such a number is calculated and used with special attacks. This value is calculated as follows:

$D = 1.2 ad \times sm$

Where:

• $D$ is the result, worth 100% ability damage when using special attacks in Legacy
• $ad$ is the player's auto-attack damage with their main-hand or off-hand, as seen in the Loadout screen
• $sm$ is a multiplier that localises damage from weapons of different speeds:
$s = \begin{cases} \frac{96}{149} \approx 0.644295 & \text{Average}\\ \frac{960}{1225} \approx 0.783673 & \text{Fast}\\ 1 & \text{Fastest}\\ \end{cases}$

If dual-wielding, the results from main-hand and off-hand are added together. Hence off-hands will increase the damage of main-hand special attacks, as they do in the modern combat system.
