			\|description=Combat maneuver that makes a slow, heavily fatiguing puncture attack with a held melee weapon, trading balance for damage. It is one of the specific maneuvers that make up weapon combos.
			}}
			{{RTOC}}
			The '''{{tt\|lunge}} command''' commits your weight behind a held melee weapon for a heavy puncture attack. It is the puncture counterpart of {{com\|chop}} and {{com\|bash}}: slow, extremely fatiguing and unbalancing, but hard-hitting.

			==Syntax==
			*{{tt\|LUNGE}}
			: Attack the enemy you are already engaged with, or pick a new one if you are not engaged.
			*{{tt\|LUNGE}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy.
			*{{tt\|LUNGE}} ''<enemy>'' ''<body part>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy, aiming for the named body part.
			*{{tt\|LUNGE LEFT}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack with the weapon in your off hand, training [[Offhand Weapon skill]] alongside the weapon skill.
			*{{tt\|LUNGE HELP}}
			: Basic syntax help. {{tt\|LUNGE HELP FULL}} gives the maneuver's mechanical profile, and {{tt\|LUNGE HELP LIST}} lists the other combat options.

			==Detailed Information==
			Lunge is a damage dealing maneuver.<br />
			Lunge tends to be a extremely fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.<br />
			Lunge tends to be unbalancing.<br />
			Lunge is a slow maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.<br />
			Lunge is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is best suited to puncture weapons and least suited to both slice and impact weapons.<br />
			Lunge temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is best suited to parry defenses and least suited to both evasion and shield defenses.<br />

			==Notes==
			* {{com\|chop}}, {{com\|bash}}, {{com\|lunge}} and {{com\|sweep}} all share a minimum roundtime. See [[Roundtime#Minimum_Roundtimes_for_Melee_Weapons_per_Attack_Type\|Roundtime]] for the figures by weapon weight.
			* Lunge cannot be used while grappled. Use {{com\|jab}} instead.
			* Because lunge is unbalancing and extremely fatiguing, it is normally spent from a high balance built up with {{com\|feint}} or {{com\|jab}} rather than repeated.

			==See Also==
			* {{com\|attack}}
			* {{com\|thrust}}
			* {{com\|jab}}
			* {{com\|chop}}
