The lastclap is a maneuver used against a [[shardbearer]], commonly by those who are unarmored and unarmed, as they have no other way to fight back. The lastclap can only be done when the shardbearer attacks in an overhead swing.▼

=== 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}}

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}}
