The Candy Axe is a Melee weapon introduced in the 15.7.0 update.
Description
It is an icy axe that attacks and bleeds opponents in close range. It has good damage, decent attack speed, and fast mobility. It is 3 - 4 hits with bleeding.
Appearance
It appears to be a Christmas-themed axe. The handle is a candy cane and the axe head is presumably light blue candy. There are Christmas ornaments around the candy cane.
Performance
This weapon, being a melee, can attack players in close range by swinging it. Moreover, this has a bleeding attribute, which makes players lose extra health for a few seconds.
It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Candy Axe will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.
Strategy
Tips
- Use it like any other melee weapon.
- Use the bleeding to weaken players.
- You can use this weapon to run around as the mobility is quite high.
- Only use this in close range.
- Use this weapon on weakened players.
Counters
- Simply attack the user from long range.
- Try not to go near its users as this weapon can take you out in 3 - 4 hits.
- Strafe around the user so they don't hit you.
- Use the Reflector (Gadget) to reflect some of the damage that the opponent does on you.
