Parallax

An attack that has a 13% chance to paralyze the enemy and deals an additional 30% base damage. It costs 2 MP to use.

Helm Splitter

An attack that may decrease the enemy's Defence. The probability of this happening 50%, and is reduced or increased by the foe's vulnerability to Sap

Hatchet Man

Tries to deal a Critical Hit on the opponent, or misses entirely. Very popular against Metal king slimes. Costs 8 MP to use, and has an accuracy of 50%.

Axes of Evil

Damages a group of enemies, though this iteration lacks the Woosh attribute it is usually associated with. Instead, damage is calculated in the same manner as Whips

Whopper Chop

Lunges at enemy with a catastrophic axe swing that deals between 180~220 base damage. This technique is Strength dependent, and will reach a maximum range of 460~500 when the user's strength reaches 600. This move is essentially an on-command a Critical Hit, and requires the Advanced Axecraft in the character's inventory to use. Unfortunately, it will not work on Metal slimes.

Omnivocational Axemaster

Enables the character to use axes with any vocation.
