In-Game Text"The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him." – Sun Tzu Polearms provide the luxury of distance and reach in combat. A lone pilgrim against a gang of vandals is far better equipped with a polearm as his side than any other weapon. PolearmsWith the Skill Polearms learned and a Polearm Equipped in both your hands, a pilgrim can use the Cleave combat move. Cleave is an Impact Attack which is best used when fighting more than one opponent, as this move has good damage a large radius that will hit anything around you. Using Cleave consumes Yellow Bile. Cleave's damage is based on your Artifact Bonus, the purity of your Halbard and your Max Yellow Bile as opposed to current Yellow Bile, common with most attacks. By selecting a Whetstone from your inventory and right-clicking it onto a Polearm and selecting "Sharpen" you can transfer the Purity of the Whetstone to the Polearm, permanently increasing its damage. This will consume the Whetstone. Purity increases the amount of damage done by the Polearm by up to 10% for 100% Purity. Artifacts which increase Impact Defense or Common Combat Defense will reduce the damage you take from a Cleave. Artifacts which increase Impact Power or Common Combat Power increase the amount of damage Cleave does.
