HADES 2 WIKI
Moonstone Axe

Aspect of Thanatos

Each enemy hit grants crit chance; taking damage resets it

What it changes

Every enemy struck by your Attack adds 1% critical chance up to a rank-based cap. Taking damage wipes the stack, so this Aspect rewards clean play over raw damage output.

Rank scaling

  • R1Crit chance cap +15%
  • R5Crit chance cap +30%

Other Aspects of this Weapon

Faster swings and a much stronger finisher

Aspect of Melinoë

Speeds up the whole attack chain and adds substantial damage to the combo finisher. Directly patches the axe's main weakness.

Special shockwaves detonate your Cast for screen-wide damage

Aspect of Charon

When your Special shockwave touches your Cast, the Cast detonates for heavy area damage and its duration refreshes. The single strongest clearing tool against grouped enemies, and competitive at every Fear level.
