How to Perform a Mace Smash Attack
Basic Smash Attack
The mace's smash attack is its primary damage mechanic. To execute it:
1. Equip the mace in your main hand
2. Jump from a height — the higher you jump, the more powerful the attack
3. Hold down attack while falling toward an enemy
4. Land on the target to trigger the smash
The attack will deal significant damage and create a wave effect through nearby blocks, pushing them outward in a ripple pattern.
Maximizing Damage
Smash attacks deal more damage the further you fall before impact. Consider:
- Jumping from higher elevations or structures
- Using water or slow-fall effects to control your descent
- Positioning enemies below you before attacking
- Combining with other combat tactics to set up height advantages
The wave effect is purely visual and doesn't affect gameplay mechanics — it's a cosmetic enhancement that makes the impact feel more impactful. Practice timing your jumps to consistently land smashes on moving targets.
