The Soulreaper axe is a two-handed slash weapon that needs 80 Attack. It has +134 slash attack (the most of any two-handed weapon in the ::bis list), +66 crush attack, +28 stab attack and +121 melee strength, and it attacks every 5 ticks (3 seconds). Instead of special attack energy it builds up to five soul stacks while you fight: each stack costs you Hitpoints but makes your hits stronger, and the special attack spends the stacks to heal you. It is one of the high-tier uniques of the Avatar of Destruction and can be traded.

The axe has no defence bonuses. Compared with a godsword it has slightly more slash attack (+134 against +132) and less strength (+121 against +132), and it attacks one tick faster (every 5 ticks against 6).

Soul stacks and special attack

The Soulreaper axe does not use special attack energy. Its special attack bar shows your soul stacks instead, from 0/5 to 5/5.

• Building stacks: every normal attack you make with the axe, against players or monsters, deals 8 damage to you and adds one stack. This only happens while you have more than 8 Hitpoints and fewer than 5 stacks.
• Stronger hits: each stack adds 6% to your Strength level for damage, on top of your Strength prayer, so 5 stacks add 30% (with Piety, your effective Strength goes from +23% to +53%). This raises your max hit on every hit with the axe, including the special attack. Stacks do not change your accuracy.
• Special attack: it needs at least one stack. It is a single hit with normal accuracy, boosted by your stacks like any other hit. Using it heals you 8 Hitpoints for every stack you have (up to 40 at 5 stacks, never above your maximum Hitpoints) and resets your stacks to 0. The special attack itself does not add a stack.
• Losing stacks: if you do not attack with the axe for 12 seconds (20 game ticks), you lose one stack, and another one every 12 seconds after that. All stacks are lost when you die.

Five normal hits followed by the special attack cost 40 Hitpoints and give the same 40 back, and each hit is stronger than the one before: the fifth normal hit has 4 stacks (+24%) and the special attack 5 stacks (+30%).

How to get it

The axe is one of the nine high-tier uniques of the Avatar of Destruction, next to the Virtus robes and the Ultor, Bellator, Magus and Venator rings. Every player who deals at least 2,500 damage to the Avatar rolls on its unique table, and more damage raises the chance of a high-tier unique:

Source	Quantity	Rate
Avatar of Destruction (2,500–4,999 damage)	1	~1/182
Avatar of Destruction (5,000–7,499 damage)	1	~1/91
Avatar of Destruction (7,500+ damage)	1	~1/61

The rates are per roll; with a Double Time scroll active you roll twice.

It is tradeable, so it can also be bought from other players on the Trading post.
