Special attacks are unique abilities possessed by certain weapons. There are many types of special attacks, from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing extra damage. Special attacks are activated by using the Weapon Special attack constitution ability (unlike passive effects, which trigger automatically). Like all abilities, it can be dragged from the ability book to the action bar. However, most off-hand weapons with a Special Attack, such as the Enhanced Excalibur, need to be activated by right-clicking them in the equipment tab and selecting Activate.

In EoC Mode, each special attack requires a certain amount of adrenaline to use, which is also consumed on use. For example, the Korasi's sword special attack, Disrupt, may only be used at 60% adrenaline, and once it is used, 60% adrenaline is drained. There are no cooldowns on using special attacks. In the Combat Improvements Beta, using special attacks would result in reduced adrenaline gain for 1 minute.

In Legacy Mode, each special attack requires a certain amount of special attack energy to use, which is also consumed on use. For example, the Korasi's sword special attack, Disrupt, requires 60% special attack energy, and once it is used, 60% energy is drained.
