Poleaxes

Poleaxes begin as specialized, cone-shaped directional explosive charges engineered to blast vertically in precise ten-meter circles, vaporizing material with surgical efficiency. Across the series, these devices evolve from single-use demolition tools into multi-purpose tactical assets that Dungeon Crawler Carl and his allies repurpose for both combat and structural manipulation. Their clean, vertical blast pattern becomes a signature method for creating instant vertical shafts, breaching fortified ceilings, and executing surprise attacks from below—turning the dungeon’s own architecture against it.
