Axe Of Phobos

Axe Of Phobos

You feel as though the axe creates a rift, a tear in the air with each swing. You peer through to see the nothingness, the vast expanse, the blackness far above. Who reigns in the sea of stars? Perhaps loneliness. Or fear.

Axe Of Phobos is a two-handed Warrior axe that seems to tear a rift in the air with each swing, and its strength is cold, heavy damage. Ice is its main weapon, added three times over, with crit damage making each critical swing land hard. Renewal mends the axe whenever it lands a kill, so it lasts through long clears. It suits a Warrior who sweeps through camps and caves without stopping at a forge. Each swing seems to open a tear in the air, showing the black void far above. Strength and extra crit chance from rings help its frozen rifts cut deeper. Its namesake twin is the Axe Of Deimos, which favours cutting damage. Its rift-tearing swings belong to the endgame, when Ancient stores in the Cinder's Cradle can give it up.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. Two-handed weapons deal one and a half times as much as one-handed ones. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	15	16	19	24	26
10	35	39	44	56	62
20	58	64	72	92	102
30	80	88	100	128	141
40	103	113	128	164	181
50	125	138	157	200	220

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 50 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect	Runes	Legendary Runes	NPC
1	Level +1	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Blacksmith
2	Level +2	Renewal	+1 Health Regeneration	850	-	Blacksmith
3	Level +3	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Blacksmith
4	Level +4	Critical Strike Damage	+24% Critical Strike Damage	850	106	Blacksmith
5	Level +5	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	106	Blacksmith
Total	-	-	-	4,250	212	Blacksmith

The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.

Level	Upgrades	Runes per Upgrade	Total Runes	Total Legendary Runes
1	5	46	230	12
10	5	130	650	32
20	5	256	1,280	64
