Cleave is a weapon special rule.

When this weapon deals melee damage from successful attacks that are not cancelled by the opposing melee result, double this weapon's Force for that damage.

Apply the doubled Force when resolving melee damage after the melee result confirms the attack is not cancelled.

Cleave does not change attack timing, target selection, damage allocation, Sustained Damage, Critical Damage, or removal timing unless another rule explicitly states otherwise.
