+ | The axe is roughly equal to the [[gladius]], having the same material cost, crafting skill, and research requirements. The gladius has slightly higher average DPS (6.71 vs 7.52) and AP (20% vs 22%), but an axe of better material or [[quality]] will be superior. | ||
− | + | The axe has an advantage, in that it uses the [[Damage Type#Cut|Cut]] to a greater extent (75%) than the gladius (37.5%). This causes the axe to have a higher chance to destroy the body part of the opponent, rather than reducing it to 1HP. To have a 100% chance of destroying the targeted body part, [[Damage Type#Stab|Stab]] damage types must deal 70% more damage than HP is remaining on the bodypart, where as [[Damage Type#Cut|Cut]] damage types needs only 10% more. Most likely, the gladius of the same quality will outperform the axe versus opponents with high body part health such as elephants, and the axe will outperform versus opponents with low body part health. Note that this is theoretical and no explicit testing has been conducted. | |
− | + | Crafting wise, Axes take less work to make - with axes requiring {{Ticks/minutes|{{Q|Axe|Work To Make}}}} of work, vs {{Ticks/minutes|{{Q|Gladius|Work To Make}}}} for the Gladius. In turn, this slightly reduces the Axe's [[market value]]. | |
− | + | Compared to more complex melee weapons, an axe is superior in DPS to a [[longsword]] of 2 quality levels below itself or worse, for example a Legendary steel axe has higher DPS than an Excellent steel long sword. All but the very best quality and material axes are inferior to almost all longswords, and all axes are inferior to longswords of good material and quality. | |
