Fragment Axe
The Fragment Axe does not cut so much as it disassembles.
Weapon Overview
The Fragment Axe is a premier hacker-class weapon — a heavy cleaving blade with exceptional cutting and limb damage.
Damage & Penetration
It tears through armour better than most cutting weapons and severs limbs readily, crippling enemies in only a few hits.
Requirements
It rewards a strong fighter — high Strength keeps its slow swings effective, and the Hackers skill governs its accuracy.
Best & Worst Uses
Best against armoured enemies you want disabled. Worst when you need prisoners or recruits intact — it dismembers too eagerly.
Quality Tiers
Like other weapons it scales to Meitou. A Meitou Fragment Axe dismantles even heavily-armoured Skeletons and Paladins.
