The '''lastclap''' is a combat maneuver used on [[Roshar]] to "catch" an opponent's [[Shardblade]] between the palms

=== Dalinar Kholin ===
During an assassination attempt by [[Szeth]] in [[Elhokar]]'s palace on the [[Shattered Plains]], Dalinar became trapped with no weapons or armor. Szeth attempted to strike an overhead killing blow with his [[Honorblade]], but Dalinar brought the palms of his hands together as the blade fell and caught it. This surprised Szeth and allowed [[Kaladin]] to tackle him.{{book ref|sa2|32}} Dalinar likely succeeded at catching the blade only because of his exceptional physical prowess.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{wob ref|6919}}

=== Kaladin ===
Although Kaladin did not train in the use of the lastclap, he was forced to use it at the end of the disadvantaged duel between [[Relis Ruthar]] and [[Adolin Kholin]]. Relis moved to attack [[Renarin]] but hesitated, instead swinging at Kaladin, who caught his Blade. This caused Kaladin and Relis to hear the [[deadeye]] spren of the Blade screaming in their minds; Relis fled the arena in terror, forfeiting the duel.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

*The artwork at the top left of the [[Alethi Codes of War]] appears to depict someone performing a lastclap, although the aggressor is wielding a normal sword and not a Shardblade.{{File ref|Alethi Codes of War.jpg|Alethi Codes of War}}
