- Not to be confused with Hand Axe.
The sapper axe, known simply as the axe in-game, is a heavy melee weapon ideal for taking down constructs or unfortunate players.
Design[]
Its handle is (possibly) made out of ebony. A gold-colored capping is seen at the end and a standard axe head is fitted at the top.
Usage[]
Although the axe has a slower attack speed than the sword and hinders the sapper a little, it packs a punch, killing soldiers in 2 hits if they are at full health. The sapper has about the same range as a sword, and the sapper's axe can destroy most constructs faster than most other tools.
The axe is also a slow weapon and getting attacked by a fast swinging weapon can be your demise, however you can beat a soldier who is using a sword, provided you don't miss. Using an axe in stealthy warfare can be a good tactic.
Pros and Cons[]
Pros[]
- High damage, kills a full-health player in 2 hits.
- Kills horses easily with a few hits.
- One of the best weapons that destroys sapper-made structures.
- Intimidating due to its damage potential and less required hits to kill.
Cons[]
- Slow swing speed makes you vulnerable if you miss.
- Hard to use when dealing with crowds.
- Short ranged, allowing other classes to take advantage of you.
- Slow walk speed when deployed.
