Strategy

The Crovel is a quick and versatile melee weapon, capable of dealing both Slashing and Blunt damage.

A light swing will decapitate any basic enemy (Gorefast, Stalker, Crawler, any type of Clot.)

Despite its favorable handling, the Crovel deals low damage and lacks a reliable stun, and should be replaced with the Pulverizer by the time Scrakes might spawn (Wave 3 on Long games).
