Overhand Strike

Overhand Strike is an active skill that can be learned by Slayers. It is cast with Greatsword.

Overhand Strike is one of the main damage skills of slayer. It's comboed basically after all other slayer skills and it's fast-casting. Skill has low crit chance like many slayer skills, although buffed to have +10% crit chance over normal 1× skills. Overhand Strike can also be glyphed to restore slayer's health if needed (3% of total HP per hit).

This skill has very powerful stacking buff called Overhand Strike: Focus. Each hit gives +2% damage bonus, which stacks up to 15 times. (As for 2021, after buffed.)

Overhand Strike was earlier learned at level 16. With leveling skill changes it's available at level 8.

This skill had somewhat peculiar inner workings. While was activated, Overhand Strike was changed to totally new skill called "Ultimate Overhand Strike". This meant that buffs that applied to OHS did not apply while In Cold Blood. (like armor chest lines.) This seems to be eliminated in v10x patches.

Rank table
To upgrade Overhand Strike to the next rank, one must find a Tactics Instructor or open the skill menu, and pay a certain price of gold dependent on rank.

Glyphs
Upon getting level 20, glyph points can be allocated on. At level 65, a character has 55 glyph points available to spend on all available slayer glyphs. Most glyphs, specifically common glyphs, are learned automatically, while Master Glyphs must be obtained from dungeon drops or glyph boxes.
