10 Best Axes In Elden Ring

Rosus’ Axe

The Rosus’ Axe is the only axe that scales with Intelligence. It mostly scales with Strength, Intelligence, and Dexterity, which lets it do good damage. It is also the longest of the axes, which makes it easier to roll catch in PVP. Players use it, though, for its weapon skill, Rosus’s Summons.

The weapon skill, like the spell Tibia’s Summons, brings three ghostly skeletons to a place right in front of the player. The tracking isn’t very good, but with enough buffs, if it hits an enemy, it can easily kill them in one shot. In Black Knife Catacomb, you can find Rosus’ Axe behind a door that you can open with a Stonesword Key.

Forked Hatchet

The Forked Hatchet is the smallest of all the axes, but it makes up for it by scaling well with Dexterity and having a fast attack speed. This lets players use its natural bleed buildup quickly. The axe can be buffed and infused, which makes it a versatile tool that can change Ashes of War. It also does a lot more damage when given a Blood infusion, which makes it dangerous close up because of how quickly it attacks.

It’s also easy to get the Forked Hatchet early on in the game. This axe can be taken from Imps who are using it.

Hand Axe

This axe is a great starting tool for people who want to hit harder because it scales with both Strength and Dexterity. It has a fast attack speed, so players can get in more hits before running out of energy. This makes it a more forgiving weapon than most axes. It can also be made stronger with magic and consumables, which makes it do more damage.

But the fact that it can be infused with Ashes of War makes it a good choice. This makes it a great starting tool for those who want to make a good build. You can buy this axe from the trader in East Limgrave.

Sacrificial Axe

The Sacrificial Axe is a good tool that scales mostly with Str and Dex for aggressive players who like to face enemies head-on. The weapon has a short range, but it makes up for it by being the second most damaging in its class. Ashes of War can also be added to the weapon, which increases its damage even more, especially when Flame, Sacred, or Magic is added.

But what makes this axe stand out is that when an enemy dies nearby, it automatically gives you 4 FP. Also, players don’t have to kill the enemy to get the FP. If the enemy is in range when they die, they will get the FP. This weapon can be gotten by players who are strong enough to beat the Deathbird on the Weeping Peninsula near Castle Morne.

Jawbone Axe

The Jawbone Axe is one of the hardest weapons to get. It scales mostly with Str and Dex. It does good damage and is one of the three best axes in terms of base damage. So it can also be infused with “Ashes of War,” which lets players use it with a “Quality,” “Cold,” or “Heavy” infusion to increase its damage even more.

But the Jawbone Axe is different because it is the only axe that does strike damage. This makes it great for killing Crystalians, Claymen, and Deathbirds. This axe is usually dropped by people who follow their ancestors. It can be found in the Siofra River.

Stormhawk Axe

The Stormhawk Axe has the most base damage and can do a lot of harm. With scaling that is the same for both Str and Dex, it is the best axe to use if you have a good build. Also, the weapon can be a monster in PvP if it is used with a cabinet set that has a high poise.

The Thunderstorm skill, on the other hand, is what makes this weapon really strong. With this skill, the player can make a strong wind and lightning vortex that hurts enemies in its path. At the end of the skill, it also gives the player’s axe a lightning boost. Without killing Nepheli Loux, players can get two of these in Eggy Car: one in Leyndell, the Royal Capital, and another in Castle Sol.

Highland Axe

The Highland Axe, which is the second-longest axe, is a powerful weapon that scales evenly from Strength and Dexterity. This makes it a great choice for quality builds. But its real value comes from the fact that it boosts roar skills, which allows players to make their moves more powerful. When you add the roar pendant to the Highland Axe, it becomes a powerful weapon that can do a lot of damage.

Also, just having the axe gives them the benefits of the passive skill, which means they can use stronger tools in the future and still get the benefits. To get the weapon, players can go to Stormveil Castle and find it in the same room as Grafted Scion. Find the body under the big picture of Godfrey.

Ripple Blade

The Ripple Blade is the third-longest axe and scales with Arcane, making it a good tool for builds that focus on that stat. It can’t be mixed with Ashes of War, which is too bad. It can also be buffed to make it do more damage, which can be done with grease or spells.

Even though the weapon isn’t known for how much damage it does, its arcane scaling gives it a strange ability to apply status ailments well. You can buy the Ripple Blade from Pidia, a servant at Caria Manor.

Warped Axe

The Warped Axe is the most powerful weapon in terms of increasing Strength, and it can do a lot of damage. This weapon has a high B scaling for strength at +25, which makes it great for building strength. It also has a special set of moves that lets it hit a little faster than most axes.

But this weapon’s real strength is in how well it scales when it is filled with heavy infusion. This gives it a S scaling in Str, which lets it do huge damage. The Warped Axe is dropped by Omen enemies that use it. These enemies can be found in the Cliffbottom Catacombs, the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace, and the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.

Iron Cleaver

When used with the Axe Talisman, the Iron Cleaver is very dangerous. Its attack speed is pretty fast for an axe. So players can get a few hits in when they get close enough quickly. The axe can also be improved and infused. Players can use the Heavy infusion to give it a S scaling for Str.

But what makes this axe stand out is its move set. Especially the charged heavy attack, which is a great way to catch rolls when running in PvP. This knife is dropped by the misguided enemies in Castle Morne who use the same weapon.
