Throwing Axe vs Javelin, Shuriken vs Ace of Spades

[Cryptidpunk]

Can someone quickly tell me what is the better throwable in those 2 comparisons?

Throwing axes are basically the same as javelins. Javelins fly faster, but the axes can be throwing quicker. So if you want to throw one and kill a cloaker, you might go javelins for the projectile speed. But if you want to throw multiple for whatever reason, the axes are the better choice.

The second, shurikens by far. They can stun anything but a bulldozer, and they do a massive amount of damage between the initial hit and the poison. The only benefit that the cards have is the ammo capacity, but 10 is more than enough to begin with since you can pick the shurikens and cards back up.

Ax is faster than javeling, shuriken does more damage and also has a high poison chance almost 100% or something it think

Molotov

cant the javalin one shot emenys?

In the first case, it's equal. The Throwing axe can be thrown faster, but has shorter range as it drops a lot faster - the Javelin has more range as it drops less and slower, but takes longer to throw.

Cards VS Shuriken is not a contest - the Shuriken are better. They deal A LOT more damage. You may get "only" 10 instead of 21 of them, but that's not too much of a loss.

I would tell you, but I have been playing too much Fire Emblem lately.

Also, Shuriken reduces enemy stats.

And you can throw cards much faster than shuriken.

Not that much faster. In fact, I think they have the same speed and even use the same animation.

Actually, they are not the same
Axes do no crit damage tho, javelins do and can kill a dozer in one hit
So if you do crit skills, you use the javelins

You sure? I haven't tried a crit build with throwing axes myself, but I'm pretty sure they can get crits just like javelins. The wiki also mentions that they can one hit a bulldozer with a critical.

I don't know about throwing axes, but I do know a javelin doesn't need a crit to one-shot a dozer with his faceplate off.
