So, that cleaving ability that axes get in 0.12... Did I read correctly that it will trigger with every swing, or is it an evocable thing (like reaching for polearms) where you can choose not to use it if there's a certain enemy you don't particularly want to hit?

So, that cleaving ability that axes get in 0.12... Did I read correctly that it will trigger with every swing, or is it an evocable thing (like reaching for polearms) where you can choose not to use it if there's a certain enemy you don't particularly want to hit? --spudwalt 04:34, 3 March 2013 (CET)

Every swing hits every thing, per this handy diagram!

o O o
o @ o
o X o

@ = You
O = Target (takes full damage)
o = Secondary targets (takes half damage? or maybe gets attacked with half the base damage? not sure on the actual calculation)
X = Not a target! Unaffected by your attack

The only time it ever caused me trouble was when I accidentally hacked apart the plants i was pillar dancing around. Overall it makes me a lot fonder of axes whether I'm using a shield or not. --MoogleDan 05:17, 3 March 2013 (CET)
