Timon's Axe



The Timon's Axe is the second of four weapons used by Baratus the Fighter in Hexen. It is first found in Hub 1: Seven Portals, and appears scarcely through the rest of the game. It is a short, one handed axe that uses Blue Mana for empowerment; while supplied with it, the axe emits a blue glow. Mana cost is 2 points per hit, but the mana will only consume if the axe hits an enemy, or a jar.

When mana is available, it is a powerful weapon. An Ettin will die of two hits in 80% of the cases, and Afrits will die by a single blow. Its high attack power combined with a rather fast attack rate give it the highest damage per second of all non ultimate weapons (tied maybe with the Firestorm). An experienced player can chop down a group of Ettins or Afrits in a few seconds.

The Timon's Axe can be used without mana at aproximatelly half of its damage potential. However, it becomes quite weak in this state, so if no mana is available it is recommended to switch to the Spiked Gauntlets.
