Iron Hatchet

"A light iron hatchet with an agile buckler. Maybe more useful for chopping wood."

Information
The iron hatchet can be looted randomly from any mission, or crafted at the anvil in the Slayer's Headquarters for 10 iron ingots and 5 iskith planks

Abilities
The iron hatchet comes with two parries that will completely negate damage upon being hit, but can only be refilled by killing enemies. One parry will be restored on each enemy kill.

Potential
Attacks: Two quick swings, one from the left and the other from the right. The attacks come in quick succession, and the second is followed by a very small (0.4) waiting period before the next attack comes out.

Attack Speed: Each full attack cycle (2 hits) takes 1 second to complete

Normal: The hatchet is great at clearing enemies and while the hatchet has worse attack speed than the sword, it does have better DPH. Its parries provide an incredible safety net that are useful both early and late game, and is a great choice for players struggling with losing HP, or for ones just looking to be a tank.

Utility: Using the iron hatchet on the mission "Thundertop Iron Mine" can be incredibly useful, as it fully negates the damage from the oneshotting lightning bolts.

Combat Style: Hatchet players should have no issue clearing out regular enemies with relative safety, and while having less of a versatile playstyle than sword players still has it's advantages (Full damage negation, higher DPH, and potentially faster shield regeneration)

Pros: Incredible defensive potential, gives you two refillable second tries

Cons: Limited DPS and range compared to other weapons, only able to hit one enemy at a time

Extra Tips:

-Using the iron hatchet on the mission "Thundertop Iron Mine" can be incredibly useful, as it fully negates the damage from the oneshotting lightning bolts.

-On paper, it does sound like a good idea to use this against a boss, since it can protect from any attack twice no matter the damage. However, keep in mind that you need to kill something to regenerate the parries, so consider whether or not the boss spawns any smaller minions before using the hatchet.
