Axe

Template:Weapons The axe is a tool composed of a long wooden handle and a large cutting edge, useful for both neutralizing Zombie and for taking down doors and trees. One swing can safely keep a small number of zombies at bay.

The Axe generally kills Zombie in one well-charged hit, making it useful for close-quarter combat, but can be dangerous because of long recovery times and the relatively short reach, if you miss. However, the axe is relatively heavy, so it is possible to get tired rather quickly, so it is also a good idea to put at least 1 point in your swinging skill before using the axe as a long term weapon. To further enhance your experience with the axe, you can put a couple points in bladed weapons as well.

It is also useful for breaking doors to obtain wood planks since it takes a mere 2-3 hits per hitpoint as opposed to the usual 10-13 of the other weapons. It is best used as a mainstream weapon and for breaking down doors quickly and effectively, and it can also be used to chop down trees to collect Plank.

The axe has a third but a far less important purpose of cutting watermelons into watermelon slices.
