Battleaxe

Skull-splitter, a warrior's joy.

Battleaxe is the first two-handed axe, forged at the Forge from 30 Ancient Bark, 35 Iron and 4 Leather Scraps. It deals 70 slash and 40 chop, blocks for 28, trains Axes and has 200 durability, gaining 6 slash and 2.5 chop a level to reach 88 slash at quality 4. The primary is a three-swing chain with double damage on the last hit, 1.5x stagger and no damage penalty for hitting several targets, at 16 stamina and 2.5m reach; the faster secondary deals half damage with 4x stagger for 8 stamina. Wielding it costs 15% movement speed, the heaviest penalty on any axe.

Each quality level adds 8.5 damage and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount, quality 3 twice that and quality 4 four times, so the last level is more than half of the total.
