Data verified: pre-launch

Axe is the warrior's alternative to the sword, a slower, harder-hitting bladed melee weapon used by the Warrior branch. Like swords, axes come in 1-handed (paired with a shield) and 2-handed (both hands occupied) variants. Damage scales with STR in the same melee damage formula as swords, and the Axe Mastery skill is learned by the Fighter sub-job at second job alongside Sword Mastery.

Mechanically, axes are nearly interchangeable with swords. The choice between them is largely cosmetic and a question of which specific weapons are available to the player at any given level. Some endgame axes have higher base attack than their sword equivalents of the same level, but the difference is small enough that most players follow whatever they happen to find or scroll first.

What an axe does

• Functions as a standard melee weapon. Identical attack pattern, range, and skill compatibility as a sword of the same handedness.
• Scales damage on STR. Same warrior damage formula as swords.
• 1-handed variants free the off-hand. Room for a shield in the off-hand slot.
• 2-handed variants hit harder per swing. Higher base attack, slower swing speed, no shield.

Used by

All three warrior sub-jobs (Fighter, Page, Spearman) can equip axes, but only the Fighter branch's Axe Mastery skill provides the per-weapon-type mastery bonus. Pages and Spearmen who wield axes are using an unmastered weapon and will see noticeably wider damage variance.

Beginner characters can equip basic-tier axes without restriction.
