Continuing on with the Worst Weapon runs of Soul Edge this time around with Rock and his Fast but weak AND Health Draining Crescent Ax (Might as well call it the Crescent *SS XD!). The run will also be completed on the Ultra Hard difficulty with No Continues. Lets take a look below at Rock's Crescent Ax stats in numbers:
Crescent Ax -
Power: 89.8%
Defense: 80.0%
Strength: 68.7%
Durability: 31.2%
Weight: 2 Bars/1.07 Speed
Range: 1.06
Pierce Damage: 20%
Pierce Weakness: 10%
Special Effects: 10% Self-Damage per swing
As you can see, this is another one of those batch of Fast but weak overall weapons where their only gimmick is their low weight/fast speed but the Crescent Ax manages to be even worse... This is the only fast but weak weapon with a Self-Damage effect and while the low Power of 89.8% means you will deal less damage to yourself, the fact that you will have to attack way more to defeat the opponent will completely flip it on its head. Now i already showcased another one of Rock's worst weapon which was his Stone Club as part of a request but this weapon is also so bad that i felt it would be a crime not to do a run with it as well. Now the Crescent Ax does make Rock's attacks very fluid and while not unique to those fast but weak weapons, the Crescent Ax has a pretty respectable amount of Pierce Damage at 20% so he can punish Turtling with his Unga-Bunga style against the CPU but the much lower 68.7% Strength means you wont break their weapon easily by spamming Forward,Forward, A,B but it comes out so fast that trying to punish it becomes a frame trap into itself. Its durability is even lower then the Stone Club sitting at 31.2% but at least you can actually block with the Crescent Ax as it only has 10% Pierce Weakness instead of the HORRENDOUS 70% the Stone Club has. Now while the Crescent Ax turned out to not be as horrible as the Stone Club, it was still a struggle to win. The weapon starts out great into the run thanks to its superior speed but as i reach Stage 5 where the CPU will begin perfectly countering stuff, then its where the weapon will really show its weaknesses as even the Crescent Ax biggest asset is still nothing in comparison with his next fastest weapon which is the Double Tomahawk as all of its other stats will trump the Crescent Ax while having an amazing Defense to boot. This run only took 1 try to finish it without continues but some fights got really close as in 4 on 4 in rounds and me even winning by a magic pixel sometimes. I dont know what the devs were thinking with this weapon other then they thinking that making Rock fast would somehow turn him overpowered. For Rock to even become like that, either they would need to give his Ultimate Weapon a better Defense stat like 120.0% at least or make his Double Tomahawk have something ridiculous like a 1.15 Speed modifier or more. Oddly enough its the Self-Damage that kills this weapon as without it, the Crescent Ax would still be bad but at least be a more fun type of weapon to use.
