Elden Ring features a variety of Axes divided into two primary categories: standard Axes, which are generally used one-handed, and Greataxes, which offer increased reach and damage potential but come with greater weight and stat demands.
In Elden Ring, all Axes, with the exception of the Ripple Blade, have a Strength scaling, making them ideal for players focused on Strength builds. This guide aims to provide a detailed overview of each Axe available in the game, including those introduced in the DLC. Players will find important information on stat scaling, weight, and unique weapon skills associated with each Axe, allowing for informed decisions based on their playstyle.
