The crimson kisten has a special attack, Brutal Swing, which consumes 50% of the player's special attack energy. Brutal Swing makes four separate accuracy rolls in a single hit. If at least one roll succeeds, the attack deals 70-110% of the player's maximum hit, with additional successful rolls increasing the attack's minimum and maximum hit by 20%. If the special attack is used against an enemy where the player is guaranteed a successful hit, the attack will act as if all four rolls were successful.

When comparing the kisten to the voidwaker using identical gear (in this case, inquisitor's), the kisten will have a max hit that is slightly below that of the voidwaker. Despite this, the kisten is still superior to the voidwaker in situations where the enemy is weak to crush, as the numerous successful rolls will significantly increase the damage dealt on average, as the kisten's minimum hit is much higher.

The max hit offered from the special will vary depending on the amount of successful rolls made, with each one having their own. For example, a player could max a 67 in best-in-slot crush, Piety and 118 Strength, but then the next special attack deal 70 damage; this is due to the former being three successful rolls while the latter was four rolls.

In practice, the damage scales as follows:

• 1 successful roll: 70-110%
• 2 successful rolls: 90-130%
• 3 successful rolls: 110-150%
• 4 successful rolls: 130-170%

• The crimson kisten's attack animation on the crush style.
• The crimson kisten's attack animation on the stab style.
• Brutal Swing animation, by Mod Hend.
• Concept art of the crimson kisten (alongside other equipment rewards), by Mod Jerv.

• The weapon is named after the kiścień, a type of one-handed medieval flail.
• The weapon's stab attack animation was originally the standard attack animation across all Combat Options, which was done as an intentional^[1] artistic decision to visually distinguish it from the special attack animation, similar to how the dragon claws' standard attack animation is a single claw slash. However, due to player feedback it was changed a week after release, leaving the former animation as the stab attack style instead.
• The item was initially proposed as the crimson bludgeon, but was renamed after player feedback stated the weapon resembled a flail more than a bludgeon.^[2]
