Crusader Strike is a core paladin ability. It is an instant weapon strike that grants a charge of Holy Power , can activate procs , and counts as a single-target melee attack. This ability is a melee special ability, not an actual spell, and therefore it is not affected by silence effects or spell school locking abilities (the others being [ Divine Storm] and [ Hammer of the Righteous] ). Like other strikes, however, it does not work with any disarm effects on. All damage dealt by the attack is physical .
