How Boneshatter fits a setup

Boneshatter is a mace attack with Melee, Strike and Area of Effect tags. Its defining interaction is the Primed for Stun state: the source description says it Heavy Stuns a primed enemy and releases a damaging shockwave. A reader evaluating Boneshatter should therefore look for the part of a guide that prepares the enemy, rather than assuming every strike always produces the same event.

The hit and shockwave have separate damage figures in the gem record. Their level ranges should not be combined into one unexplained damage percentage, and neither is a complete character damage estimate. Mana cost also changes with gem level, which matters when following a setup with a different-level gem. The weapon requirement is one-handed or two-handed mace, so a quarterstaff or sword cannot be substituted merely because the class uses melee attacks. Supports such as Brutality, Impact Shockwave and Close Combat address different parts of an attack setup; read their wording against the intended damage type and range. Warrior is the natural class comparison for the source card's stun and slam identity, but skill compatibility is determined by the gem and weapon requirements. Use the Warrior and skills hubs to compare that requirement with other attacks before investing in a replacement weapon.
