How it works

Cleave is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 60. It scales with 1 times spell power. It jumps to up to 5 targets.

What it does

Cleave is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) jumping to up to 5 targets and has a Knock Back effect jumping to up to 5 targets.
