Potentially. Its ATP is listed at 1500, but it varies from 0 to 1500 on each swing, so one hit might be for 50 and the next hit for 500.

[beatrixkiddo]

Yep yep

[R2R_Crysaki]

so it's power is random from 0 to 1500 on any swing?

[Gryffin]

Yes. The bonus to your ATP is 1500 ungrinded, not to mention percent towards dark enemies.

But, It does do random damage. It has very high potential, but, each damage point higher is more chance of not hitting it.

I.E.Suppose your Max damage with the bico is 1000, so you have a 1/1000 chance of hitting that.

ok...well that sucks...

[perfectminute]

If you're using the bico in hive or LL it works just as well as 20-30% pikor. Also helps if you have decent ATP already. It also has 100 more pp then a pikor and probably the dedda.

[Rashiid]

but remember tha -10% kubaraness

[Gen2000]

Yeah not only are you dealing with the random 0-1500 variable damage output you're dealing with the -10% deal when you're using a PA.

You are much better off using even a light Pikor for consistant high damage of the Axe (the thing is so slow anyways you should want all your hits to matter when you do land them).

[F-Gattaca]

On the other hand, I've found the Bico's chance of causing confusion to be a nice tradeoff for the -10% PA reduction.

I hate axes. Bico is the only axe i use because its fun http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

my freind hit a 600 one hit and the next hit was a 2! it was halarious, he almost dropped his controller when he hit the polty for a 2. (he was lvl 87)

[creativehope]

I love the bico. It may not seem like much but having a low level newman fortefighter asan alt the bico makes a world of difference being able to do elements of unrest on C and soloing it without too much of a problem sure the damage is random but as stated above the confusion is a nice trade off for it all.

Alsoat lvl 28 at random moments I'll hit fr 1200+ damage on dark creature. and thats more than enough for me

Confusion is nice if you use axe on a Gaorozan maybe (why would you use an Axe them instead of better weapons is beyond me, w/e) but other than that, confusion is kind of pointless on a melee weapon since the enemy will still have you in their aggro range while confused.

And you have to see it like that, the ATP of Ank Bico is 750, not 1500, so it's a crappy axe.

Good for leveling PAs, because it has high PP and high ATA >_>

I hit a 2200 crit with the bico against dulk fakis. This was as a lv50 male CAST fF 10.

The -10% is dropped in AotI?

Nice.

[Indica]

Bico does some very nice damage. I also use Cati/Hit which boosts accuracy, but sometimes I do see some 0 damage when attacking

[perfectminute]

The bico does good damage in hive, But the best part about it besides me getting rich of them, is the low atp req.
