Sharp Axes
The guide identifies Sharp Axes as Rat’s first lore choice and the gateway to two central parts of its plan: Healing Fire and Medicine. It frames these as key to the clan’s wounded-unit and healing mechanics.
How it works
In the described build, Sharp Axes is always taken first. Its practical role in the guide is progression access: it opens Healing Fire and Medicine, which underpin later healing and Overwork timing. The evidence window does not state Sharp Axes’ own direct stat effect.
When it helps
Use it first when following this Rat build.
Your next step
