Do you have any experience with 3D layers in ae? If so, one was to do it is to get a picture of a sword and animate it coming down, and also get a transparent picture of a crack, and layer it over the sword’s impact spot. Then, just add camera shake! For the minimal dust, just use stock footage if you want and colorize it if needed.
