Palm Axe
The Palm Axe is a Miscellaneous melee weapon. It is not used by any unit and is found only in the Unit Creator.
Characteristics
The Palm Axe is unique egyptian polearm with a giant axe head on the tip of its handle, making it more of a spear than a battle axe. It also looks like a fan. A swing with the weapon can inflict a decent amount of damage; the weapon also gives the unit the ability to lunge in toward their opponents from a distance and attack. Although the ability is seperate, it shares the same cooldown timer as the main attack. This also mean units with the weapon can perform both the lunge attack and main attack at the start, but can only perform one of the either after that.
The Palm Axe is rather sizeable and gives the user a superior range advantage. Units with the weapon can also instantaneously attack, whereas most other melee weapons take at least one second to start swinging. After attacking, it will have a cooldown period before it can attack again.
Trivia
- The Palm Axe's lunge ability resets but does not abide by the unit's Attack Speed; it will still have a 2 second cooldown despite the unit having 0.01x Attack Speed.
- Units wielding the Palm Axe two-handed will hold it with both of their hands at the back.
- The Palm Axe gives its wielder the spin-to-win ability of Lady Red Jade as well as the backing-up ability of the Sarissa.
- It is possible that the Palm Axe is based on the Epsilon Axe, a battle axe invented in Ancient Egypt that came to be used throughout the Middle East, and its use spread to eastern and northern Europe.
