Heavy Armor Pressure

Strong melee hits with the Obsidian Greatsword punch through roughly half of the target's armor and armor toughness.

Details:

• The effect only applies when a player swing is at 90% or more attack strength.
• It calculates bonus damage based on the difference between normal armor reduction and armor/toughness reduced by 50%.
• It is most noticeable against armored targets.

Grand Slam

Right click with the Obsidian Greatsword to use Grand Slam.

Requirements:

• The greatsword must not be on cooldown.
• The user must have at least 65% attack charge.

Effects:

• Radius: 3 blocks.
• Damage: 4 to nearby living targets.
• Horizontal knockback: 1.5.
• Vertical knockback: 0.35.
• Cooldown: 80 ticks, or 4 seconds.
