Frost Axe
Heroic-tier Power Axe variant.
Heroic Perk: Howl of Fenris
"Executing enemies generates Power Charges that empower the next Whirl Slash. Damage and radius are increased, and enemies hit are slowed by 70% for 10 seconds."
Executing an enemy grants Power Charges. While one is held, the next Whirl Slash is empowered: it uses Motion Value 1.75 in place of 0.75, about 2.33 times the damage. This applies to Whirl Slash Left and Whirl Slash Right. Slash Momentum does not boost an empowered Whirl Slash.
| Whirl Slash | Motion Value | Damage per Hit | Hits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0.75 | 15.67 | ×2 |
| Empowered | 1.75 | 36.57 | ×2 |
Damage is the Frost Axe with no perks: 11 × 1.9 × Motion Value. In the calculator, the Empowered (Howl of Fenris) toggle switches both Whirl Slash rows to the empowered values.
Overview
