# Varunastra ## Modifiers <span class="text-mod">Counts as all One Handed Melee Weapon Types</span> Varunastra is considered to be all one-handed melee weapon types: sword, axe, claw, dagger, and mace. There are two ways in which this impacts the game mechanics: 1. Melee skills and support gems with weapon restrictions that include any one-handed melee weapon type can be used with Varunastra. [[Ground Slam]] and [[Shockwave Support]], for example, can be used with Varunastra because it counts as a mace. Varanustra allows for otherwise impossible skill combinations on a one-handed setup, such as [[Earthquake]] with [[Whirling Blades]]. 2. Bonuses with weapon restrictions that include any one-handed melee weapon type benefit Varunastra. This is especially relevant for passive skills that grant multiple bonuses, each restricted by different weapon types. For example, the cluster jewel with <span class="text-mod">Added Small Passive Skills grant: Sword Attacks deal 12% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments</span> and <span class="text-mod">Added Small Passive Skills grant: Axe Attacks deal 12% increased Damage with Hits</span> and Ailments will cause each passive node to give 24% increased damage total. However, this does not apply to effects where multiple weapon types are stated in the same effect, such as <span class="text-mod">x% increased Physical Damage with Axes or Swords</span>.
