The axe is a misunderstood weapon. So many see it as a ruthless weapon for brutes and barbarians. But it can be a thing of beauty and precision, too: decapitating enemies and surgically removing their organs too.

The Vanguards in Chivalry 2 are the axe-wielding damage dealers that literally leap into the middle of the fight and cut through the other team. But it can be hard to be a damage dealer of any renown in Chivalry 2. You are meant to avoid removing the limbs of your allies and survive long enough to kill the people you are meant to kill.
