Name	Show Full Descriptions
Chance to Bleed Support	Increases the chance of inflicting the bleed ailment on enemies with Cleave. Bleeding deals physical damage over time, with more damage dealt to moving targets. This support also adds a small amount of flat physical damage to Cleave.
Concentrated Effect Support	Reduces the area of effect while significantly increasing the area damage Cleave does. This makes it an excellent choice for difficult individual monsters.
Increased Area of Effect Support	Increases the area of effect of Cleave allowing it to hit a greater number of targets at once.
Maim Support	Grants Cleave a chance to Maim enemies on hit. Maimed enemies have reduced movement speed and take increased physical damage. This support also gives more physical damage with Cleave.
Melee Physical Damage Support	Grants more melee physical damage for Cleave. This support also increases the amount of damage inflicted bleeds and poisons do.
Multistrike Support	Causes Cleave to repeat an additional two times, as well as providing a large bonus to attack speed.

Cleave

Cleave is a melee attack that deals damage with all equipped weapons to enemies in a 180 degree arc in front of the player. When dual wielding, equipment requirement applies to both weapons, and each weapon does reduced damage. Requires an axe, sword, two-handed axe, or two-handed sword.

Skill functions and interactions

Attack Speed: When dual wielding attack speed is averaged between the two weapons.
Dual Wielding: If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance values, it is possible for one weapon to get a critical strike when the other doesn't. It is also possible to miss with only one of the weapons swung. The decrease to damage while dual wielding is multiplicative and applies to all damage bonuses.
