Description
Heavy weapons are edged weapons thet rely more ond sheer force to inflict bone-breaking damage. When swung with sufficient strength they smash through attempts to parry them with smaller weapons. Opponents caught under the full weight of the blow may collapse and even drop their weapons. Heavy weapons can only be countered by Long or Heavy weapons (with the Hidden blade being an exception, as it can counter any weapon, the timing involved makes the maneuver more difficult and thus risky). However you can disarm your opponent by your fists, and if you are equipped by Hidden gun or Poison blade, Ezio will automaticly counter with his Hidden blade. Counters with these powerful weapons are always lethal to the target, but you will leave the weapon in the victim's body (so use it on the most dangerous enemies only to maximize the effect). Thee Combo length for Heavy weapon is 3 hits. Heavy weapon is equipped by Brutes.
Special technique: Smash skill
The Smash skill is acquired from Training and enables the Smash attack when a Heavy weapon is equipped. A smash takes a long time to build up, during which the player is vulnerable to interruption by attacks that will cancel the move. But when a fully charged Smash connects, it breaks through enemy defence to cause a large ammount of damage and further effects. It cannot be parried, and he victim will be disarmed, knocked to the ground, or may have a long weapon broken.
The Smash is activated when the Weapon Hand Button is released. Ezio can thus hold a charged Smash until he sure that the enemy is in range.
