Buff Axe

Grant Mitchell 6 years ago updated by Storm Crow 6 years ago 11

Right now, no one really uses the axe aside from when they are starting out and have no choice. The axe skill sucks. I do like the idea of it, but it's just not as good as the other skills for other weapons. I think you should make it do slightly more damage, and lock on the near by enemies (only if there very close).

     The axe's special move is actually quite useful if you know when to use it. It knocks you down even if you try to block it or roll or kick and you'll be on the ground for a while. The axe's main attack is more powerful than the sword, the ice mage staff, the bow, the claws, and the spear. The axe can take away 1/4 of your health with one swing, so seeing as how you can get in two hits off if you stun someone, you can take away half of a person's health. Just because the axe is the starter weapon for new players doesn't mean it's not good, because I consider it to be one of the best weapons for professionals.


     The axe also comes with the ability to chop tress and collect wood. In fact, the axe is the only weapon that can do that. Wood can repair forts (forts are basically a safe-haven), it can act as fuel for campfires to heal you, and it's good for trading for gold or other items. Lots of quests you get depend on using an axe specifically, too. So the axe is already incredibly useful for how you play in-game. I can go on and on about how good an axe can be, but the point I'm trying to get at is that I don't feel the need to beef up a weapon that's already so good. But I guess it's all subjective :/


Ok, but is it really better than the other special's? (Maby better than spear skill...) and also you said that the 1/4 of a persons health, what? Is that if your both the same level? As far as I know...(plays wilds.io to test it...) oh...your right... 

I'm not very good at timing a attack to hit someone as they get up from being knocked down so...I'm just not very good with it. Also, about it being able to chop trees and such...well...yeah...but that's not super helpful if you think about how you can get into the fort in alot of  ways (I wouldn't really call it a "safe-haven". If your using the spear's skill, you can jump right into the fort (one of the only good uses for the spears skill in my opinion), and if your using hammer, you can bash down the gates pretty fast (but you will most likly be facing a 2v1 or 3v1 inside) , and you can hit people through walls, and you can hit them if a grapple-hook to bring them out side the fort (also gets them away from there team so it's a 1v1 at least for a little bit), and you can use bombs and mines to blow up the gates (it takes forever). Wood is very very usfull for buying items tho, but there is item spawns near most shops witch you can trade for the items you want tho so...

Anyways, for you, the axe might be good, but I feel like it's very under powered, and altho the attack is very strong, you can block or roll to counter it and I'm not good enough to get 2 hits on someone after hiting them with the special, so it seems to just be the way I play, and my lack of skill at some things that the axe focuses on. 

I agree the fort is NOT a safe haven because of the glitches, but the spear thing is intended and so is the grenades and the rope thing. After all, you can't just camp there the whole time, so there has to be a way to make it fair. So i guess it's not really a safe haven... so scratch that point i made there ._.

    So you asked me what specials are worse than an axes..... hmmm... that's actually a tough question. The spear's special is obviously worse (lololol) and the ice mage's special rarely ever hits, it doesn't provide much time to do damage, and you can still dash out of the way after you're frozen. And the bow special.... well thats basically just a regular shot but it does more damage but is much harder to land since you can't aim. So the axe special (in my personal opinion) is better than the spear's (lololol), the bow's, and the ice mage's. But yeah, i guess the axe's special can be fairly hard to hit. Im thinking of close combat where the axe special is important. I love seeing someone try to block my axe special and then have them immediately fall right back on the ground!

The spear is great for escaping, sneak attacks, and killing runners.

If you know when to use the special, it's great.

The axe has good damaged, good hitting rate, and a great, hard to dodge special that is medium ranged. Great for mine trolling, knocking people down to pin roll, or getting them on the spikes.

Eh, the axe is still fine in how i see it.


P.S: Don't bump really old posts.

Axe is the first weapon that is given to new players. What do you expect? Besides, the game is skill-based which means that all weapons are all pretty good if you know how to use the advantages to your favor.

The axe special gets pros 8/10 times.

No need to buff axe, you can cut trees with it, you can make players fall down from distant, activate or deactivate bombs if they are in range of special, which means you can make a powerful combos with this weapon. It's currently the most universal weapon we ever got because of many useful skills I wrote here and weapon has very nice attack rate with good damage per hit. There are absolutely no reasons to yell at this weapon, it's currently perfect. I even get easier bones than when using other weapons :P


PS. Fuck me, I always sucked at sword..

Axe is very balanced. Other weapons are op.

see what i did there? ;)
