Khepesh (Timeless)

The Khepesh is a rare weapon from the game (REDACTED) found in Ancient Egypt. It is a short 80 long centimeters sword, that can be used to slash ennemies at close range, and it can also be used to grab shields and throw them out of the way.

Appearance and origins
It has a short handle, about 15-20 centimeters long, with a 30cm blade and a large 50cm long curved portion at the end of it, that separates from the other part with some kind of hook. It is based on the eponymous weapon, also known as Khopesh, that was used widely around -1500 BCE.

Attack patterns
The Khepesh's attacks mainly involve a circular swing, that can slash multiple ennemies if they are far enough. When the ennemy is closer, the weapon will most likely hit fewer target but cut deeper inside of them and thus hit harder

Strategies
When a large amount of zombies are coming towards you, try to slice them while slightly walking backward. You should normally be able to damage them and also avoid getting hit because of the slight knockback. If it is a single target, do not fear physical contact : the strength of the contact should stun him enough to allow you to hit your ennemy multiple times before he can be able to attack back. As it hits hard and quite quickly, you can easily use it against Cynocephale Mummies, but try to keep another weapon ready when you run out of stamina. You can also easily use it against hordes of Cobra Zombies, to slice up almost all of them in a single strike, or against zombies boosted by Foreman Zombie to calm them down permanently.
