Axe of the Shredded

The Axe of the Shredded, commonly abbreviated as the AOTS, is a Axe that is unlocked at. 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. The axe projectile travels approximately 100 blocks before despawning.

Unlike other melee weapons that have melee abilities like the Livid Dagger, the axe's ability is treated as a melee strike, causing it to have the same effects and calculations of a melee hit. as such,it will trigger Enchantments like Thunderbolt, Fire Aspect, Lethality, etc. It will also apply the  healing on hit, it'll also trigger pet abilities that usually only trigger with melee hits such as Wither Skeleton Pet's Death Touch.

The ability ignores invincibility frames, causing it to hit multiple times per target. This is noticeable on big mobs such as Ender Dragons, Magma Bosses, Sadan's Giants and Bals.

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