Tips for Choosing
- If you're just starting out or don't have high strength, axes like Aguinara's Hatchet or Butcher's Cleaver are decent options since they don't require any stat points.
- For dealing with demons, the Bloodslayer is a solid choice with its +200% damage bonus against them. Just make sure you meet the strength requirement of 50.
- The Messerschmidt's Reaver has a high base damage and good attack speed, but watch out for that -50 HP penalty! The extra fire damage can be nice though.
- If durability is a concern, the Wicked Axe has infinite durability, which is pretty sweet. However, it does have a damage penalty against enemies, so weigh that trade-off.
- Always check the 'Reqment' column – you'll need to meet the Strength (str) or Dexterity (Dex) requirements to even equip these axes!
