Giantkiller, a neutral axe, replaces the long sword Giantslayer in SLASH'EM. It does double damage against giants of all types (monsters represented by H, except for titans and ettins), and has a 15% chance per hit to cancel said monsters.
Strategy
This weapon is even more useless than its vanilla counterpart, since it has a much weaker base item. Giants are rarely dangerous enough to be a threat even in vanilla, and SLASH'EM does not introduce any new ones (save for the Largest Giant). Even if giants were a significant threat, this weapon is hardly more effective than a normal long sword against them - it's actually less effective at lower enchantments.
Sadly, the mechanics of artifact generation make this a very common artifact: it is the only artifact axe, and axes are quite common. It will often be found in weapon shops, making wishing and sacrificing for other artifact weapons more difficult.
