After the fight, Kaladin asks for Zahel's help in fighting a Shardbearer and mentions that Dalinar was able to catch Szeth's Shardblade. Zahel is familiar with the technique and calls it the "lastclap"; he tells Kaladin that it is a "stupid maneuver" that only works when Shardbearers swing straight down with a relatively slow strike.{{book ref|sa2|44}} He also says that it usually fails, and then "you're dead."{{book ref|sa2|44}} He urges Kaladin to focus on other strategies that work more often, and Kaladin agrees.

*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}}
