Concussive Bash is an upgrade to the Shield Bash skill for Sword And Shield users in New World. Concussive Bash belongs to the Defender Tree, which is focused primarily on reducing damage taken and applying crowd control effects to enemies. This Upgrade increases the stun duration of Shield Bash by 1 second. Both Shield Bash and Intimidating Bash must be unlocked first before this Upgrade can be obtained.

Active Skills for the Sword And Shield increase in efficiency with Strength as their Primary Attribute and Dexterity as their Secondary Attribute. Investing into either Attribute will increase the damage of your Sword and Shield’s basic attacks and skills, though you will see a greater bonus for investing in Strength.
