Axe

axe is a melee item in item asylum. It is a simple wood-cutting axe.
==Functionality==
Equipping axe causes the user to hold the item's handle with both hands in front of their torso. While axe is equipped, the user will gain +3 extra walkspeed.
Using axe causes the user to make a quick overhand swing. Each swing deals 22.5 damage and inflicts weak knockback. Victims will additionally have their screen flash red briefly. The attack has a 5×5×5 stud hitbox and a 0.2 second cooldown.
axe can be held over the user's shoulder if they use the item without executing a swing. Attacking in this stage causes the user to swing the axe from over their shoulder; however, this is purely cosmetic and has no special effects.
axe's red flash is weaker if Photosensitive Mode is on.
==Tips==
*axe is useful for aggressively attacking players that do not have items that can ragdoll or deal high damage.
*The extra walkspeed this item gives can be advantageous in large and spaced-out maps.
