Prince of Qi Melee Infantry

Axe Band

A group of screaming enemy soldiers charging towards you is unnerving, but when those soldiers are holding axes, it becomes terrifying. Though the heavy fu axe was once used as a tool, it has been repurposed for the battlefield - now its chief purpose is to split foes' skulls.

These warriors are considered shock-troops because of their powerful charge, which staggers enemies and leaves them vulnerable; the warriors swing their axes in one hand while the other holds a shield to parry retaliatory blows.
