Bodypart: Chest
Minimum Wound State: Critical
Maneuver: Jab, two-handed axe
Crushing the chest of your opponent will induce a massive endurence drain.

Maneuver
Wreckchest Strike Crushchest

You glance over Vathael and see that his health is at 5921/5921.
You assess the bodily wounds as follows:
* Head has no wounds.
* Chest has critical wounds.
* Gut has no wounds.
* Left arm has no wounds.
* Right arm has no wounds.
* Left leg has no wounds.
* Right leg has no wounds

You execute the Wreckchest maneuver: STRIKE VATHAEL CHEST.
Focusing on his chest, you strike at Vathael with the sinuous claw of midnight storms. Your blade bounces off his
sternum, delivering only a shallow puncture.
x12

With Vathael as my testing dummy, I started striking him in the chest at critical using my crushchest maneuver. Over ten attempts were made but not once was the crush chest achieved.

(The Barracks): Vathael says, "Chest: critical (19075)"

Odd - I've definitely been dealt the affliction within the past month, as it was part of my trigger line collection process.

1. It works only on swings for BC. I've never been an AL, should it be different for them or is it just a typo?

2. CrushedChest requires the enemy to have BrokenChest as a prerequesite.
EDIT: Of course, AL can't deal BreakChest affliction. Hmm... maybe OpenChest?

I mentioned this to Roark awhile back, the AB file is wrong, CrushedChest is only off of swings, not jabs. Surprised the file hasn't been fixed.

Most of axelord's useful afflictions are swing only.

The only ones that aren't swing only, or are jab only, (that are useful) are:
Knockdown
Shatterjaw
Snaprib
Ringingear.

It doesn't work with swings either.

Does it require any other affliction as a precondition?

It shouldn't for Axelord.

Nevermind, I just didn't recognize the look of the affliction it seems, it's a swing
