The use of weapon forms in combat gives your attacks a natural cadence with peaks and ebbs that, while predictable, are nonetheless effective and difficult to counter. When used as your default weapon attack, Cadence will magnify the power of every third strike.

Notes[]

Cadence is the core combat skill of the Soldier mastery. When used in place of your left click, your auto attacks will generate charges. Every third charge, you will slam your target with a powerful overhead swing.
