Project Zomboid · Combat skill
Axe skill
Axe proficiency affects attack speed, damage, critical chance, and the chance to automatically push away a zombie grabbing the character from the front.
How it works
The skill applies to axes, including hand axes and wood axes. PZwiki lists these effects alongside the other combat weapon skills. It says weapon-skill effects combine additively with changes from moodles, strength, and fitness, and that critical chance is added to the weapon's base chance. The wiki warns that combat skill categorization and figures are based on Build 41 and may be outdated.
