Abilities
Construct Armor — Like normal objects, an animated hatchet has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage the hatchet takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once an animated hatchet is reduced to fewer than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks, and its Armor Class is reduced to 19.
WORKS WELL WITH
SnareAERIALA controller pins a target in place so this mindless brute's sweeping strike lands without needing to chase.
SniperAERIALA ranged attacker keeps pressure on distant foes while this hovering blade handles whoever closes to melee.
FlankerAERIALA mobile skirmisher creates Off-Guard openings that let this simple attacker's Strikes land more reliably.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ low-damage pokes✖ melee reliance
