# Heavy Weapons ⚒

**Description**\
Heavy Weapons is your proficiency in fighting using heavy weaponry. The higher your skill in heavy weapons, the more damage you'll deal with them. Heavy weapons are the most offensive weapon class among light and heavy weapons, benefit from high damage and knockback, but suffer in terms of attack speed.

**How to gain EXP**\
You get experience by dealing damage to enemies. Experience is based on the damage you deal, not the amount of times you hit them or how much you kill.\
❗ Repeatedly getting experience in the same area (chunk) greatly reduces experience gained after a certain amount of times. This is to nerf mob farms. This counter is chunk-specific, and resets after server restarts.

**Special Notes**\
"Critical strikes" are different from vanilla critical strikes. Vanilla critical strikes which are done by falling while attacking are now referred to as "Power attacks", which still do the usual 1.5x damage. Valhalla's critical strikes occur separately from this, which apply an additional damage multiplier.

**Perks**\
Heavy weapons offer enhanced power attacks, damage, critical strikes, armor penetration, weapon coating, etc.
