Axe of the Shredded

The Axe of the Shredded, commonly abbreviated as the AOTS, is a Sword that is unlocked at Zombie Slayer LVL 8. It is the direct upgrade from the Reaper Falchion.

Usage
The Axe of the Shredded can be used as a melee weapon, as well as a ranged weapon. It deals damage to Zombies and shields from  of incoming Zombie damage when held. It heals when it hits a mob.

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 of the damage it would do on a melee strike. The ability costs. Consecutive throws double both the damage multiplier and mana cost, up to a maximum of 4 times at damage and   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  (pending for test: fire aspect, thunderlord/thunderbolt, etc), 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  within Dungeons. It also can activate upon hitting a mob.

The Throw ability ignores invincibilty frames, causing it to hit multiple times per target. This is noticeable on big mobs such as the Ender Dragon and Sadan's Giants.

The axe travels approximately 100 blocks before despawning.

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

Trivia

 * It does not give despite its previous two tiers, the Revenant Falchion and the Reaper Falchion both giving.
 * When this item was first introduced, its ability would stack more than 16x even if the axe did not hit anything, allowing players to kill Necron and other high-health enemies instantly with enough mana.
 * When the thrown axe hits a mob, it is actually considered as that a melee hit is dealt by the player before the damage is affected by the ability’s damage multiplier. This means that sword swap works with this weapon’s ability.
