Frenzy
Description
Dash forward and strike the first enemy dealing 100% physical damage. Enter a state of frenzy that increases your movement speed by 25% and increases attack speed by 30% for 0.8s on a successful hit.
Usage
Frenzy is an excellent engagement tool that rewards commitment and timing. It's a great follow-up tool after using X-Strike as the enemy will be incapacitated and weekend, but because of the distance required to get the stun from X-Strike oftentimes a dash is required to get in range leading the player without an easy getaway option.
Combining the use of Frenzy with Abilities such as Power Surge or Blood Rage can minimize potential damage and increase damage even further.
X-Strike
Description
Throw two axes in the shape of an X. Each hit deals 85% physical damage and slows the enemy for 1.5s. Hitting an enemy where both axes intersect inflicts a 2s incapacitate.
Usage
X-Strike acts as a great engagement tool that requires a set distance in order to get its stun off. While the axes in general are great at dealing with packs of normal enemies the disadvantage lies in that bosses aren't affected by the stun. Being the only range option for the axes and considering later bosses encourage keeping your distance the ability falls off but does decent damage regardless.
