Using Divine Strike

There are two ways of using Divine Strike. First, is to use it directly with the corresponding attack ability (e.g.  Divine Strike: Radiant (Melee)). Second, is to use any other weapon attack and let Divine Strike trigger as a post-strike reaction upon hit. Triggering it this way does not cost a  Reaction, but it is configured the same way as other reactions in the reactions tab.

Using Divine Strike as a reaction means it can be used in conjunction with any attack such as an offhand attack, a weapon action, with a special arrow, or an Opportunity Attack. On the other hand, using the ability directly is always equivalent to a basic main-hand attack with the 1d8 bonus damage from Divine Strike. Thus, it is usually better to trigger Divine Strike as a reaction since it works in far more situations.

Divine Strike only works with melee and ranged weapons and cannot be used with unarmed attacks or thrown weapons, even as a reaction.

Notes

• War cleric's variant of Divine Strike inherits the damage type from the weapon in the primary hand, so it can deal a wide variety of damage types such as ⁠Force with the  Ne'er Misser or ⁠Psychic with the  Shadow Blade. The main-hand weapon's damage type is used even if the triggering attack was made with an offhand weapon.

Bugs

• The different methods of using Divine Strike (as a post-strike reaction or with the weapon action directly) have independent, once-per-turn cooldowns. Activating Divine Strike directly does not prevent triggering it again that turn with a post-strike reaction (and vice versa). This means that Divine Strike can actually be used twice in a turn, provided it is used once with each method.
• Activating Divine Strike directly does not trigger on-hit weapon functors found on many weapons, such as  Sussur Dagger. Using Divine Strike as a post-strike reaction does trigger on-hit weapon functors.
• When playing Honour mode, all Divine Strikes (when used as a post-strike reaction) are changed to not invoke additional DRS mechanics. However, only Divine Strike from the Death Domain (when activated directly) is changed to not invoke additional DRS; all other direct-use variants of Divine Strike will continue to invoke DRS.
  • Note, the changed variants of Divine Strike will cease to function with effects/passives which trigger when certain kinds of damage are dealt, such as the thunder damage from Tempest Domain and  Hat of Storm Scion's Power.
• This wiki displays the ability icons that each Divine Strike variant is supposed to use; however, each ingame variant (except for Death/Necrotic) displays the default Divine Strike container icon.
