Axes List and Stats
Axes are the brute force of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, favored by classes such as Fighters, Knights, and Generals. They boast high Might, making them ideal for breaking through enemy defenses, though often at the cost of accuracy and speed. Mastering the axe requires careful consideration of your unit's stats and the battlefield situation.

| Brave Axe | 7 | 60 | 0 | 11 | 1 | Attacks twice, but with a substantial hit penalty. |

Axes excel against lances in the weapon triangle, making them invaluable for countering enemy formations. However, they are vulnerable to swords. Units with high Strength will benefit greatly from the raw power of axes, but be mindful of the hit rate, especially against agile enemies. The Brave Axe can be a double-edged sword; while it allows for two attacks, a miss on the first can leave your unit vulnerable. The Killer Axe is a high-risk, high-reward weapon, perfect for critical hit strategies. For ranged combat, the Hand Axe provides a safer alternative, allowing you to chip away at enemies from a distance before closing in.
