Axe of the Shredded

The Axe of the Shredded, commonly abbreviated as AOTS, is a Sword that can be unlocked by defeating Revenant Horrors, and requires Zombie Slayer LVL 8 to use. It is the direct upgrade from the Reaper Falchion.

Usage
The Axe of the Shredded can be used as a melee weapon. It deals 250% damage to Zombies and shields 25% of incoming Zombie damage when held. It heals on every hit.

When its ability is used, it throws an axe forward in a similar trajectory to that of the Livid Dagger’s ability. For each tick the axe is within the enemy's hitbox, it deals 10% of the damage it would do on a melee strike. The ability costs 20 mana. Consecutive throws double both the damage multiplier and mana cost, up to a maximum of 4 times at 160% damage and 320 mana cost; any throws after that have the same damage and mana cost.

Unlike other melee weapons that have melee abilities like the Livid Dagger, the axe's ability hits trigger Enchantments like and, apply the  healing on hit, trigger Pet abilities that usually only trigger with melee attacks like the Wither Skeleton Pet's Death Touch and the Phoenix Pet' s Fourth Flare, and regenerate Mana within Dungeons.

Essence Crafting
This item can be upgraded with Undead Essence. It requires level 25 to use within Dungeons once converted.

 * Once converted, it can be used within Dungeons even if the player does not have Zombie Slayer Level 8.
