Peppermint Battle Axe

"Standard issue from the Candy Kingdom armory."

- BATTD description

The  is an Uncommon weapon in Bloons Adventure Time TD. It grants the equipped character with +5% attack speed, +1% per 2 star levels. As Peppermint Battle Axe is a Sword weapon, it can only be equipped to Finn, Dungeon Finn, and Warrior Bubblegum.

Strategy
Besides the pierce-increasing Scarlet, the Peppermint Battle Axe gives the sword users another option at increasing their overall popping power. In this case, it provides faster attack speed to the user, starting at +5% and going up to +10% at level 10. It initially will not hit as many bloons as Scarlet would, but it excels in that it can catch individual bloons or thin out bloon layers more quickly, allowing the user to fare better against Regrow Bloons and MOAB-Class Bloons.

Another useful aspect of using the Peppermint Battle Axe is the pairing potential with upgrades and trinkets that give offensive oriented attacks. If access to faster weapons such as the Unimaginably Amazing Sword (or for Finn/Dungeon Finn, Finn Sword) are not available, the Peppermint Battle Axe can fill in its place for increasing attack speed and enhancing the use of Finn's Flying Kick, Missile, and other attacks.

Trivia

 * Unlike most traditional two-sided axes, which the Peppermint Battle Axe is based on, it can also be used to charge.
