|mechanics = Reduces the [[roundtime]] for one swing with a penalty to [[Attack Strength]]. Can be used in an unarmed attack by specifying the unarmed attack type (e.g. "cman qstrike kick kobold").
|additionalinfo = At rank 5 the AS penalty is eliminated. This cman also functions with [[Two Weapon Combat|two weapon combat]] and [[Closed fist|closed fist]] attacks. There is an increasing [[stamina]] cost with higher weapon base speeds.

Characters in the [[Striking Asp Stance]] can perform quickstrikes with less of a stamina cost.

===AS Penalty and RT Bonus===

This table lists the [[Attack strength|AS]] penalties and [[RT]] bonuses for each [[cman]] rank.

===Stamina Cost===

Quickstrike has a minimum stamina cost of 8 and a maximum of 25. Costs within this range are determined by the weapon's base speed. In the case of two weapon combat, both weapon base speeds are factored into the calculation.

For weapons with a base speed of 5 or less, a stamina penalty of +2 per second of base speed is applied. For example, a player swinging a [[longsword]] (base speed +4) will incur a stamina cost of 16.

:<tt> 8 base + (2 × 4) penalty = 16 stamina</tt>

For weapons with a base speed greater than 5, an increasing penalty of 1 stamina per base speed over 5 seconds is applied. For example, an attack with a [[katana]] gripped with two hands (base speed of +6) will incur a stamina cost of 21.

:<tt> 8 base + (2 × 5) + (3 × 1) = 21</tt>

====Stamina Cost Table====

This table lists the stamina cost for each weapon base speed.

{{qstrikestaminacost}}

<nowiki>*</nowiki>There is no additional weapon base speed penalty with [[Closed fist|closed fist]] attacks, therefore, only the base (8 stamina) cost applies.

====[[Two Weapon Combat]]====

When wielding [[Two Weapon Combat|dual weapons]] the base speed value to determine stamina cost is calculated as follows:

:<tt>1 + primary weapon base speed + [(round up)secondary weapon's base speed ÷ 2]</tt>

Use this value in the base speed column in the above [[Qstrike#Stamina Cost|table]] to determine the stamina cost.

'''Example 1'''

Primary Weapon: Scimitar (base speed 4 sec) 
Secondary Weapon: Rapier (base speed 2 sec)

:<tt> 1 + 4 + (2 ÷ 2) = 6 sec. base speed</tt>

From the table above a 6 sec. weapon base speed has a stamina cost of 21.

'''Example 2'''

If the weapons in EX. 1 are swapped the combined weapon base speed used to calculate stamina cost would be:

:<tt> 1 + 2 + (4 ÷ 2) = 5 sec. base speed</tt>

In this example, the 5 sec. weapon base speed will have a stamina cost of 18.
