Savage Axe is a Phantom Edge in Phantom Blade Zero. It is a heavy axe that specializes in charged strikes dealing massive Sha-Chi damage. As a Phantom Edge, it is used as a secondary weapon that complements the player's equipped primary blade.
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Quick chop | a fast single axe hit for interrupting enemy attacks |
Charged cleave | hold the input to charge a devastating overhead strike |
Spinning axe | a full-body rotation swing that hits all enemies in range |
Ground splitter | slams the axe into the ground, creating a short-range shockwave |
The Savage Axe's primary mechanic is its charged attacks. Holding the attack input increases the damage and Sha-Chi impact of the next strike. A fully charged cleave can deal enough posture damage to stagger even boss-level enemies in a single hit. The charge time creates a risk-reward dynamic: longer charges deal more damage but leave the player vulnerable during the wind-up.
Experienced players use windows created by Weapon Switching or Ghostep to safely charge the Savage Axe. Switch to the primary blade, execute a combo, Ghostep behind the enemy, then unleash a fully charged axe strike into their exposed back.
