Zombie Arm

The zombie arm is a power level 4 melee weapon that is awarded to the player after completing The Great Body Robbery, and can then be crafted using a blacksmith's bench. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores. It is not clear what this weapon's special effect is as its "electrifying properties" are ambiguous. When a player receives the Shocked debuff, their stamina is completely drained, but since enemies do not have stamina, and as there are no visible effects or extra damage done, it does not appear to do anything to them. It also does not seem to prevent the player or cause enemies to be struck by lightning. It has the same damage values and attack style as the Skullsplitter, so that weapon's +15% critical strike chance is better, but the higher base damage and additional slash damage of the zombie axe wins out overall when considering weapons to ascend. Also, it displays a 21 combo, but correctly has a 5 hit combo, at least in singleplayer.
