Weapon Class: Axe
Axes are a light weapon class that have high damage, medium speed, and STR tendencies. Their Running R1s have higher stun than other running attacks. However, the Axe moveset is on the slower end of non-hyperarmor weapons. Most of the class has poor range for its speed. They do not have priority on third R1s versus hyperarmor weapons.

Warcry is a common Weapon Art on Axes. Warcry buffs do not boost elemental AR.

As a light weapon class, it shares light weapon feints.
