The Moonstone Axe is an S-tier weapon you don’t want to set aside.
The Sister Blades are very fast weapons that Melinoe can unlock in Hades 2.
Here’s everything you oughta know.
Revisions to reflect new Olympian boons and their synergies with the axe have been made.
It swings left, then right, and then slows to charge a final, mighty overhead swing.
Special
A quick, forward, and short-range attack that throws and slightly spins the axe.
It deals a quick amount of damage before returning.
Omega Special
Melinoe charges while the axe spins in front of her.
The wave spreads outward as well, potentially damaging enemies on the fringes.
The Moonstone Axe isa slow but extremely sturdy weaponthat makes up for its terrible speed with incredible damage.
The Moonstone Axe special no longer blocks attacks or interrupts projectiles.
Aspects Of The Moonstone Axe
Aspect
Aspect of Melinoe
This is the default incarnation.
Aspect of Charon
This aspect will empower your Casts, by lengthening their staying time.
This Critical chance only affects your Omega attacks (Attack, Special, or Cast).
Your built Critical chance resets to zero when you take damage.
TheAspect of Thanatos is gained after several instances of dialogue with Chaos.
Eventually, he will grant you access to this aspect, turning your axe into a scythe.
It requires a piece of Darkness granted by Chaos himself to unlock.
Each aspect has its pros and cons.
This takes everything great about the Omega Special and doubles it on a budget.
Psychic Whirlwind
Allows you to use your Omega Attack while dashing, attacking, or casting.
This makes the Omega Attack far more viable and less risky to use.
Executioner’s Chop
Makes the final attack in your Attack combo chain hit twice in exchange for 20 magic.
It does require building a steady source of magic regeneration, but the payoff can be tremendous.
Rapid Slash
Your Attack speed is increase by 30 percent.
It’s a massive benefit and a way to get even more devastating blows in.
Zeus
Blitz’s damage threshold for activation is no hard achievement for the axe.
Hephaestus
The exploding attack can be a devastating addition to an already powerful weapon.
An additional 200 or 400 damage with your swings cannot be scoffed at.
Likewise, additional armor is nice for a build likely to get penalized for poor speed.
Additionally, Daze’s chance to help you dodge is a benefit for this slow weapon.
The total Magicka cost, however, is 65.
Ares
The Wounds mechanic substantially increases the already impressive damage output of the axe.
Keep in mind that when it comes to magic consumption, the axe is second only to the torches.
Your enemies will quake in fear as you raise the gleaming, moonlit blade above your head.
Possibly the most difficult weapon in Hades 2, the Umbral Flames are capable of great destruction.
