Shadow axe

shadow axe is a melee item in item asylum. It is a large jet black axe that emits small black square particles.
== Functionality ==
When equipped, the user will summon the axe with their hand, during which the item cannot be used.
Upon use, the user spins counterclockwise with shadow axe extended outward, dealing 45 damage and inflicting knockback, ragdoll, and 2 stacks of curse to enemies in an 8 stud radius. Each stack of curse lasts 14 seconds. shadow axe has a 1 second cooldown beginning when the swing ends.
== Tips ==
* As one of the most powerful and heavy-hitting melee items in the game, the shadow axe can make for a good stand-alone weapon. However, it is usually better to make a combo with a ranged or miscellaneous item, as shadow axe's curse stacks increase damage significantly.
* It is very useful on maps with environmental hazards as its decent knockback and large hitbox allows the user to take on and attack multiple enemies on all fronts up close.
