A vast array of weapons await you in Warhammer Survivors; an entire cache of blades, bolts and magical weapons. But, sometimes, the tried and tested swing of an axe is all you need to cleave the multitudinous hordes of Skaven and not-yet-announced enemy factions!
Today, we’re delving into the Fyrestorm Greataxe and Gotrek Gurnisson’s axe: Zangrom-Thaz. Watch the video below to see it swing into action!
Tried and tested? YES.
Mundane? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Fyrestorm Greataxe
Fyrestorm Greataxes are wielded by Fyreslayers, a mercenary lodge of Duardin who form themselves into warrior-cults, scouring the Realms for fragments of ur-gold to reclaim the power of their fallen god.
In Warhammer Survivors, the Fyrestorm Greataxe swings around the player in a brutal arc, increasing in speed and strength and changing direction as the player moves. The axe only stops swinging once a certain amount of damage has been unleashed!
An axe needs some heft, so if you’re the sort to sit around idly, expect a reduction in the damage the Fyrestorm Greataxe inflicts. Those Skaven won’t cleave themselves!
Zangrom-Thaz
Evolving the Fyrestorm Greataxe calls Gotrek Gurnisson* to your side, unleashing the unbridled fury of the legendary Zangrom-Thaz. Given the community’s reception to Gotrek, he needs little introduction. If you’d like to learn more about Gotrek, read our article here.
Unlike the Fyrestorm Greataxe, Zangrom-Thaz swings around the player constantly, whether you remain still or not. However, if you choose to charge into the hordes of enemies, Gotrek’s mighty axe speeds up, leaving scores of charred and decapitated Skaven in its fiery wake. That’s one way to deal with a vermin problem!
*If you’re playing as Gotrek, he won’t spawn a clone of himself; the realms can't handle that type of power!
That’s all for today, but we’ll be back with more weapon and character highlights in the future.
