1313 Situational. Strong for mob-clear specialists using Halberds (wide sweeps) or Greatswords. Trap for boss-focused builds because the 2-enemy condition never procs on a solo boss.

25+Momentum is the wide-swing talent. Halberds and Greatswords that hit multiple enemies in one swing are the native beneficiaries; every Crusher camp-clear build folds this in.

27+Math Example
28+ 
29+A Halberd swing that hits 2 enemies in one arc gains 1 Momentum stack. A chained swing hitting 2+ enemies again adds a 2nd stack; a third adds the max 3rd stack. At rank 3 (+9% per stack) the fully-stacked Halberd deals +27% damage per swing, making late-combo swings hit significantly harder than openers.

31+Notes
32+ 
33+Stacks fall off on swings that hit fewer than 2 enemies. This means isolated single-target swings cannot maintain the buff; it is a mob-clear exclusive layer.Pairs well with Dominating Presence, which triggers on kills within 8m. Chained kills feed both talents simultaneously.
