Related Patch Notes

Patch LinkDatePatch NamePatch Notes
Version 19.080.125 April 2022Lands Awakened Patch 8Resilience Penetration for Halberd and Carrioncaller has been increased to improve their damage output in group fights and make them more effective in large-scale combat. Carrioncaller also now has higher sustain damage in group fights, which should also increase its effectiveness in Crystal League scenarios.
  • Halberd:
    • Resilience Penetration: 30% → 50%
  • Carrioncaller:
    • Resilience Penetration: 30% → 50%
Version 18.090.128 July 2021Call to Arms Patch 9Axes

Bloody Reap has been reworked into an AoE execution tool, to give it a more distinct role that doesn’t overlap with the AoE sustain damage the Halberd already offers. Additionally, Rending Rage and Adrenaline Boost have been buffed to make it easier to stick to an enemy target. Rending Rage now also offers more potential burst damage, with the decreased cooldown between hits. Battle Rush is no longer restricted to requiring a target and can instead be used more freely as a ground target dash with an AoE effect.

  • Rending Rage (all Axes):
    • 1st and 2nd Hit Standtime: 0.3s → 0.16s
    • Cooldown between hits: 1s → 0s (Now only limited by Global Cooldown)
  • Adrenaline Boost (all Axes):
    • Time window for direct damage condition: 2.5s → 3.5s
  • Battle Rush (all Axes):
    • Doesn't require a target anymore. It is instead a ground target dash with the AoE Effect.
  • Bloody Reap (Infernal Scythe):
    • First Hit Damage: 74.45 → 108
    • Removed the Damage over Time effect
    • Second Hit does now extra damage if enemy health is below 40%:
      • Damage above 40% Health: 74.45 → 108
      • Damage below 40% Health: 74.45 → 240
Version 18.090.128 July 2021Call to Arms Patch 9Added four new icons to better represent the corresponding abilities:
  • Blood Bandit (One-Handed Axe, E-slot)
  • Protective Beam (Enigmatic Staff, E-slot)
  • Arcane Orb (One-Handed Arcane Staff, E-slot)
  • Ground Shaker (Maces, W-slot)
Version 18.080.130 June 2021Call to Arms Patch 8 (Season 13 Patch)The requirement of maintaining Adrenaline Boost with autoattacks made it too difficult to use this ability to chase enemies. In order to give Axes a better chance at staying on enemies (without allowing Adrenaline Boost for free disengages), this ability will now stay active with any direct ability damage (e.g. Rending Spin, Whirlwind).
  • Adrenaline Boost (all Axes):
    • Ability damage (i.e. a successful hit with Whirlwind) has been added as a condition to keep the buff active
Version 18.060.131 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 5/6 & Hotfix 6.1Axes

The recent change to Rending Spin (which applied Rending Bleed stacks only on max distance) was making the ability unreliable in the live game, where players with various pings interact with each other. The decreased range and bleeding effect already reduced this ability's sustain in patch 4, and we will observe how it plays out with this change.

  • Rending Spin (all Axes):
    • Rending Bleed stacks are again applied to all enemies hit, regardless of their distance
Version 18.040.16 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)Axes

Axes have been overrepresented in a variety of content types. While the constant sustain damage and healing reduction is part of the weapon’s identity, the value axe weapons get from their Q abilities was a bit too overwhelming, making it hard for other melee weapon trees to compete. Additionally, the options of counterplay and skill expression for Rending Spin and Raging Blades have been improved with a sweet-spot damage ring to increase the importance of player positioning. The readability of visual effects was also improved for various axe abilities.

Adrenaline Boost was changed to improve its ability to chase down a target offensively, while also reducing its use as an easy disengage. And a standtime was added to Razor Cut to add a bit more commitment to the ability and weaken its easy disengage potential.

Vampiric Strike was reworked to the new ability Blood Bandit to make this weapon more dynamic and allow more skill expression during fights.

Greataxes are now non-interruptible and have more upfront damage versus players, giving them a substantial buff in PvP. At the same time, their PvE damage has been toned down to bring it more in line with other weapons.
