Bonecrusher

Bonecrusher is a talent in the Crusher branch of the Windrose Talent System. Increases damage when the hit registers as Crude damage type (Clubs, Maces, some two-handed weapons). Crude is also the damage type for gathering rocks and ore deposits, so this has dual utility.

Build Role

Bonecrusher is the Crude-specific damage layer. Clubs and Maces are the primary beneficiaries; Halberds only gain if the specific halberd variant is Crude (most are Slash).

Math Example

A Sturdy Mace doing 285 Crude per swing becomes 310 Crude at rank 3 Bonecrusher. Over a 10-swing boss phase, that is roughly 250 extra total damage, equivalent to cutting one to two swings off the boss's HP bar.

Notes

• Also applies to the Crude damage used when gathering rocks and ore deposits, so has dual utility outside combat.

• Does not apply to Greatswords (pure Slash) or Pierce firearm builds. Check the weapon card before committing points.
