Heavy Weapons

Unskinned Fragment Axe.

Heavy Weapons weigh more and swing slower but do more damage. Heavy weapons require brute force and deal heavy blunt damage. A heavy weapon will typically inflict more damage, but be slower to wield.

When using a Heavy Weapon you gain extra strength from defending and attacking.

Weapon Skill - Heavy Weapons

The heavy weapons skill determines damage with weapons classified as heavy weapons. The skill is defined in game as;

"Affects damage. Most normal people struggle to even lift a full-weight heavy blade, and they require incredible strength and endurance to wield effectievly. Beginners struggled with this weapon style and face a hard path ahead. As a result living practitioners are few and many men carry them only for bluff and posturing. The real masters of this weapon however, are men to be feared."
