This a short suggestion but here is my idea:
Similar to the Sword of embers this weapon Has a 3 second slowness effect in 1/5 hits. Like the fire sword it will deal 5 damage. Even though the sword of ember deals 4 it deals 5 because there is no fire damage. This weapon can be used to hit runner making them slower. It can also be The Axe of Frost an Iron axe (to make you recognize the weapon) And it lcan act like a better version of our current stone axe (just for trapping prob) .
Yep that’s it still think this would help with runners a if you ht thm (1/5) they will temporary slowness. It will prob have the same drop rate as the fire sword
