Hunter Axe

	Hunter Axe
	One of the trick weapons of the workshop, commonly used by those who dedicate themselves to the hunt. Retains the qualities of an axe, but offers wider palette of attacks by transforming. Boasts a heavy blunt attack, leading to high rally potential. No matter their pasts, beasts are no more than beasts. Some choose this axe to play the part of executioner.

Notes

• One of three possible starting weapons, the others being the Saw Cleaver and the Threaded Cane.
  • You may only choose one starting weapon upon entering the Hunter's Dream for the first time.

• Has the highest Rally potential of all weapons, meaning that attacks will restore more health than any other weapon when damage has been taken.

• Cannot use any Left Hand Weapons while using the weapon in Trick form.
  • Pressing L2 will execute unique attacks (see Move Set for details).

• Primary Physical attack properties can be converted into Arcane, Fire, or Bolt via Blood Gems that provide the respective ATK bonus.
  • Conversion occurs when affixing Blood Gems with an Add ATK+ and/or ATK UP +% bonus.
  • Attack will scale based on Arcane scaling; Strength and Skill scaling will be ignored.
  • Physical, Blunt, and Thrust primary attacks will be removed.
