Apollo's Axe

An Apollo's Axe is an Axe-class weapon found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is acquired by bringing a Salamander Tail item to Sunshine the blacksmith in Yallam so that he may randomly forge it into this or several other items that you then may buy. Being an axe, it can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, and Piers. Its Buy value (and thus its price for forging) is 15200 while its sell value is 11400.

The Apollo's Axe increases the wielder's base Attack rating by 158, and this weapon is especially notable for being one where standard attacks are based on the Mars element (the damage done is affected by how the wielder's Mars power compares to the target's Mars resistance). Its Unleash effect is Flare Burst, unleashing at the standard rate of 35% of the time, which adds 54 points of damage before modifying damage based on the Mars element, and then has a chance to restore the user's HP by the amount of damage done. The Unleash visually resembles the Adept attacking the target and letting out a large fiery explosion on impact, with leftover orbs of energy converging into the Adept.
