Hand Axe

Hand Axe

"Marching stance"

The Hand Axe is well... An Axe. Its pretty much a brother of the Sapper Axe, a weaker brother. Pressing X puts your character in the "marching stance"

No need for explanation here, except for it being a 3-hit melee, also having 3 attack directions: right, left and up.

The hand axe is given to austrian grenz regiments (Which are Austrian Light Infantries), Partizani (Which is a Russian Militia class), and Prussian militia. You can also block with the hand axe by holding right click and releasing right click if you want to stop blocking.

Design

The hand axe has a brown, wooden handle, iron capping at the end and an axe head.

Usage

The Hand Axe is mainly just used as a normal sword, but with different looks.

It can actually deal more damage than the sword by a slight 5 HP. That means it can deal 45 damage to enemies. Many people do not notice this.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Fast attack speed.
• Slightly more powerful than the sword.

Cons:

• Normal range.

• You need skill for all weapons like this.

• You need to be Grenzer (Austrian Light Infantry), Militia (Russian and Prussian only), or Partisan (Russian only).
• It is unable to use the long attack stance, unlike the sword.
