Hand Axe melee

The Hand Axe is the axe you can actually afford to swing all day.

A short axe that delivers strong damage at a far lower endurance cost than a full-size axe.

Good. It holds up well and is a dependable mid-term weapon.

High for its weight class — not full-axe burst, but well above most short weapons.

Low as a melee weapon.

Efficient. This is the headline feature — strong damage without the exhaustion tax of a long axe.

Modest. It is a single-target tool that happens to be very stamina-friendly.

Repairable and reasonably common.

Strength Fitness

Players who want axe-class damage without exhaustion deaths; sustained day-to-day clearing.

Large crowds where reach and knockback matter more than per-hit damage.
