Throwing Axt and Assailant Trait

[Technius]

The Base Damage of the Heavy Melee attck from the throwing Axt is 142. Can you one-shot a hutner with the Assailant Trait and a heavy melee attack ?

It will one shot them without it in the head or upper torso with melee.
Anywhere in body or head with throw.

With the trait it will kill with either anywhere in the body.

You missunderstood my question. If y throw the Axt they will one-shot of course. But the heavy melee attck of 142 is for a hit at the upper torso and should not one-shot a hostile hunter.

yes it will one shot with assailant. It already sorta does without it because of the bleed, it does one tick immediately, and 2 more over the next couple seconds.
Most players will not be able to stop the bleed in like the 3 seconds they have to do so or if they do they are just standing there bandaging in front of you- most likely they will try and melee you in return and if you back off they will just die anyways.

Also, when you attack without assailant your attack is vertical and will likely hit the head anyways even if aiming for the body.

If you use assailant you block your head with your arm while charging which is great, but attack in a wide swing instead- which tbh since you now one shot body shot is ideal and makes it easier to OHK with it in melee.

Hope that clarifies.

I tested it. Assailant will increase the melee attack damage of the throwing ax and throwing knife by roughly 40%.
This makes regular melee attacks do 103 Dmg and Heavy do 198Dmg
