Fighting Style
Penthesilea is the powerhouse for the Trojans with a strong attack and defense. Her axe provides longer range than the other characters' swords and are capable of slicing through soldiers in one or two blows. As a contrast to Ajax, her attacks have a longer range and are somewhat easier to use against crowds. However, they are simple to predict and take more time to execute. Her defensive maneuvers are lacking compared to others, so she works best by being constantly aggressive with her attacks and Parries in duels.
