How do shield bashes work?

Does anybody know how shield bashes work in this game? Not the push, the heavy attack.

Is it like the first game? (1 target hit and damaged, with a bubble of knockback)

Are Sienna’s Dagger and Fire Sword heavy attacks handled the same way?

I don’t have any hard data, but from experience it seems to work the same way as the first (for shield bash). I haven’t played Sienna so can’t say for her.

Wrong, pretty different from how it is in V1. For you no longer sustain staggers with consecutive bashes + chance for multi HS dmg isn’t a thing now which sucks ass. simply put, bashes are intermittent of c attacks like the new sword thrust combo.

Thanks for the info!
