Battle Axe
Strength
Agility
Constitution

The battle axe is a compact, one-handed weapon with a slightly shorter shaft and a smaller, more agile head than the war axe. Its balanced design favors speed and adaptability, allowing a fighter to shift angles fluidly, weave through incoming strikes, and strike from unexpected positions. The narrowed blade focuses the weapon’s force into precise impact points, making it particularly effective against unarmored or lightly protected foes, while still carrying enough weight to threaten heavier defenses when the opportunity arises. The shorter shaft makes it a bit harder to get a hit on the target, but the compact hit provides devastating critical hits on the crushing table.

In Cosmic Odyssey, the battle axe thrives in the hands of fighters who excel at movement and deception. Its shorter reach is offset by the ability to fight effectively in confined spaces, slipping past guard lines and exploiting lapses in an opponent’s focus. Well suited for sudden attacks, feints, and unorthodox angles of engagement, it rewards those who can read the flow of combat and adapt on the fly, turning speed and positioning into decisive advantages.
