Etymology[edit]

Kairos is one of two Greek words for time, the other being chronos. While the latter refers to sequential time experienced normally, kairos refers to the arrival of opportune moments and when circumstances are ideal to act upon. This is reflected in the axe's agility boost and the higher chance to land a lucky critical hit.
