Axem Rangers

The Axem Rangers are members of the Smithy Gang who appear only in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

These characters are one of the many boss fights in the game. Mario finds them atop Barrel Volcano, while looking for the Sixth Star Piece. These melee wielding enemies are no pushovers as this can be a difficult fight in the game. Since there are five of them, that means five attacks each turn. Using an onslaught of thunder attacks from someone like Mallow can easily weaken them, allowing a finishing blow from Geno or Mario. The rangers also use the help of there giant Axe-shaped flying machine, Blade. Blade can't do anything really except for one attack that is used every so-many turns. The attack in question is the deadly Breaker Beam. This attack pierces defense and attacks the entire party!
