Not to be confused with the War Axe

The Battle Axe is a two-handed axe. It is commonly compared to its sibling weapon, the War Axe, which is used by the Raider Default Mercenary. Despite this, the Battle Axe bears a few distinguishable features of its own. A detailed breakdown can be found below with a comparison of the two weapons at the bottom of the page.

Overview[ | ]

Alt Mode: Adjusts grip to hold the axe closer to the head, therefore shortening its reach and making it somewhat faster.

Strengths[ | ]

  • Respectable damage all around, capable of killing most enemies in two or three hits
  • Has a relatively long reach
  • Attacks cost a large amount of stamina to block
  • In alt mode, it has a rather fast windup for a two-handed weapon
  • Deals considerable damage to wooden structures
  • Has a relatively low gear cost as far as high-damage two-handers go

Weaknesses[ | ]

  • Thrusts are terrible all around
  • Alt mode will lower the knockback and structure damage, albeit not by a major amount.

Battle Axe vs War Axe[ | ]
