| Core Strategy | The Dread Axe earns its slot as a guard-cracking tool. Tap it without charging to shatter shielded states in one hit — against the Sword Fanatic's drinking bubble shield, a single tap breaks both the shield and his guard for a massive damage window. During guard-break combos, charge it only to the first stage and land it as the boss recovers to buy a few extra seconds of pressure — though if the boss goes for a red attack you will get caught and cannot dodge, so weigh the risk. You can also tap it again to interrupt a boss mid-action, but the timing is risky. |
Capacités et mécanismes
- Can be charged up to 2 stages to release a crushing cleave (or charged to the first stage towards the end of a combo against bosses like Hua for extra recovery pressure).
- Iron Chain Breaker: once obtained, Dread Axe can break chain blocking paths even when not equipped.
- Can be used with a simple tap (without charging) to instantly break enemy shields and guards, such as the Sword Fanatic's drinking shield, opening up massive damage windows.
- Can optionally be used to interrupt certain enemy actions, though doing so carries some risk.
