Devlog: Two-Handed Axes

Hello everyone! In todays devlog well tell you about the second new ability tree of the Equipment Update II: two-handed axes!
As always, lets start with a general overview. This ability tree consists of 5 Actives and 5 Passives, focused around the same thing as 1h axes - damage, Bleeding, and Injuries.

Active Abilities

Wide Cut - the opening skill of the ability tree. It performs a strike with bonus Weapon and Armor Damage. Additionally, it affects three body parts upon a successful hit.

Dismember performs a strike to a random Body Part affected by a Minor or Medium Injury (or a random Body Part if the target is uninjured) with a huge bonus to Bodypart Damage and Crit Chance. If this strike worsens an Injury or applies a new one, it causes Bleeding, and the target itself loses 9% Max Health.

Reign in Blood performs a strike which prolongs active enemy Cooldowns by 1 turn for each Injury and 20% missing Health affecting them. Also has a chance to cause Bleeding on each Injured Body Part, replenishing 5% Max Energy for each Bleeding caused.

Rampage - a traditional stance-based skill. It grants stacking bonuses to Crit Efficiency, Bleed Chance, Bodypart Damage, and reduces Cooldowns Duration. Just like with other 2h weapon stances, every 3rd attack with two-handed axes is granted a special effect: it deals bonus damage equal to 15% of the targets Max Health (the damage has a threshold tied to the characters level).

Make Space performs a strike on three adjacent targets with bonus damage for each degree of Injury affecting them. If this strike kills at least one target, performs a second strike on the same area (this effect can only trigger once).

Passive Abilities

Finish Em - attacks against targets with more than 50% Health gain bonus Bodypart Damage. Attacks against targets with less than 50% Health gain bonus Weapon Damage.
Shieldbreaker - 2h axe attacks decrease their targets Block Chance and Block Power for 5 turns. This effect stacks.
Maim and Kill - applying Injuries and Bleeding grants bonus Weapon Damage and Crit Chance for 4 turns.
Fatal Strike - while under the effect of Rampage, Critical Hits grant an additional stack of it and apply their target with extra Damage Taken.
Tool of Execution - activating Rampage grants bonus Crit Chance for each enemy within two tiles.

And finally, here are some of the two-handed axes which will be added to the game:

Thats all for now. Until the next time!
