The Moonstone Axe, "Zorephet", is one of the Nocturnal Arms in Hades II. It features Short-range slow AOE melee Attacks, can defend with Special, and has a wide, long-range Ω Special.

Moonstone Axe can be unlocked with 15 Silver

Damage[edit | edit source]

Moonstone Axe's Attack is a 3 move sequence consisting of a clockwise slash (40 damage), a slower counter-clockwise slash (80 damage), and then an extremely slow AOE ground pound (160 damage).

Moonstone Axe's Special blocks attacks while Channeling, and also deals 10 damage.

The Ω Attack charges up 1-10 spins of a Whirlwind Attack. Each spin deals 50 damage. It costs 10 Magick, +1 per Spin, to a maximum of 20.

The Ω Special launches a series of AOE blasts ahead. It deals 140 damage and costs 25 Magick.
