Some weapons, usually lances, have the Damage Bonus on 1st Attack tag, commonly referred to as the charge bonus.

• Note that single use lances like the Heavy Lance are retained until the weapon hits. This includes Shield parries, making shields especially suitable for blocking lance charges.
• Flying units do not use combat speed based calculation even if that would have been better.
• Weapons with the Higher charge bonus cap also have the one-use-per-battle tag meaning that they can only be used once. If the unit misses, the weapon is still lost.
• Most weapons with the Higher charge bonus cap are also two-handed weapons which means that they get 125% of Strength added to the damage roll instead of the usual 100%. This also raises the potential charge cap.
• Testing has shown that units with charge bonus do not gain a charge bonus vs flyers.
• This needs further testing. First, it appears that this may be limited to innate flying, not in-battle effects like Gift of Flight. Second, flyers may be able to get a charge bonus against other flyers.
