In most circumstances, the [[Flamethrower]] is a much better choice for targets in melee range. The Fire Axe, however, is typically used on unaware enemies and for humiliation purposes as it has a high [[Critical hit]] chance. The Critical hit animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing.
