Axe

Jump to search
Axes are a one-handed and two-handed melee weapon class requiring strength and dexterity to equip. Most axes have no implicit modifiers but do have high base physical damage and moderate attack speed, resulting in overall higher damage per second than swords or maces.
Mechanics
A list of benefits that only affect axes:
- Karui Choppers have the largest base average flat damage on a non-magical weapon. Therefore rare Karui Choppers have the potential to roll the most flat damage with maximum rolls on damage modifiers.
