Learn about the Axe Legion in Astral Chain, its skills like Blue Shield and Crash Bomb, and its powerful upgrades.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Axe Legion is the slowest but most powerful Legion, wielding a large axe-greatsword hybrid weapon.
  2. 2
    Its attacks are slow but powerful and it possesses a shield that prevents damage for a duration, encasing the Legion. You can stand within this shield for protection.
  3. 3
    Standard attacks may leave behind small blue crystal explosives that detonate for additional damage.
  4. 4
    The Axe Legion can destroy red energy walls with cracked holes by holding ZL and pressing A near them (Axe Detonation).
  5. 5
    Activate the Energy Field by pressing L, causing the Axe Legion to float beside you, slowing your movement but keeping its shield active around you, useful for traversing hazardous environments like fire or poison gas.
  6. 6
    Perform a Legion Counter (Axe) by getting a Perfect Dodge (a timed dodge that grants a brief window of invincibility) in the Energy Field stance, then responding with ZR and a ZL Sync (a synchronized attack).
  7. 7
    Activate the Blue Shield skill to have the Axe Legion send rotating shields around you that absorb a set amount of damage before breaking; this skill has a thirty-second cooldown.
  8. 8
    Activate the Crash Bomb skill to have the Axe Legion slam its weapon into the ground, creating a damaging crystal explosive that detonates on contact or after a short time; this skill has a 2.5-second cooldown.
  9. 9
    Execute the Command Skill: Rising Axe by flicking the Left Stick away from and then towards the target, followed by pressing ZL, causing the Legion to upwardly slash and launch enemies.
  10. 10
    Execute the Command Skill: Axe Sweep by spinning the Left Stick in a circle, then pressing ZL, causing the Axe Legion to spin and deal damage.
  11. 11
    Special Sync Attacks with the Axe Legion include: Ground Combo with Gladius (attack again and Sync again after the initial Sync), Perfect Dodge (Sync Attack, then Sync again after a Perfect Dodge), Chain Bind (Sync Attack, then Sync again after a Chain Bind), and Somersault (Sync Attack, then Sync again after a kick).
