Use of this special move allows an attacker to strike their opponent twice in the next single round of combat. Subsequent to activation, the next hit will automatically cause another swing attempt, which can either hit or miss according to the normal hit chance rules.

(Many recommend Armor Ignore as an alternative, since the damage yield is similar to two successful swings).
