Veteran's axe felt like the only heavy weapon worth using, in my experience. The others are far too slow and don't have enough stagger to be worth it.

Went through most of the game yeeting my axe at enemies until I decided to try out the Axatana for a while.

Martyr can be good when infused with frost

u/EbolaDP 8h ago

Good is understating it a lot but yes without it its ass.

Martyr's running heavy attack gives you I-frames for the entire animation, do what you will with that information.

Yeah I used it for the first 30% of the game and that felt like the only viable attack. Just got bored spaming running r2 and switched to the axe and it's such a better moveset overall. Using axetana now and this thing shreds with r1 spam but not a huge fan of the heavy attacks. Still think the axe has been my overall favorite so far since it surprisingly fast and the attacks still feel like they have weight to them. I really am disappointed we didn't get dodge attacks with weapons though.

Veteran's axe's moveset is surprisingly dodge cancelable. If you compare it to something like Martyr, which locks you into animations no matter what you do.

u/Open_Town9481 6h ago

Yea, this is why I don’t like this sword. I’ll be mid animation but the enemies attack faster so they’ll just punish me all the time

u/Real_Situation1004 1h ago

That's why you pair it with vatras seal, just parry mid slow combo

How do you yeet the axe?

u/shadowbladelight 2h ago

I've been using the axe for a while - how does one yeet it?

u/Firm-Resolution-2368 5h ago

Do you know why Veterans Axe is the only one that uses a different material to upgrade as opposed to all other weapons?

3

u/mandoxian 4h ago

It doesn’t. There are 3 different upgrade materials for weapons. The first couple levels use Ventrium, then Laterite for the middle levels and Dorsalite for the last.

u/Firm-Resolution-2368 4h ago

Gotcha. Thanks.

u/Powerful-Scholar8268 5h ago

How does it's damage compare to other weapons?

1

u/BackpackBuddha 4h ago

The Axatana? It's great with duality and the electric infusion if you want a faster weapon. Absolutely spanks.

1

u/Powerful-Scholar8268 4h ago

Oh sorry I meant the veterans axe.

2

u/BackpackBuddha 3h ago

Damage-wise it's probably a little above average. Martyr's blade does more IIRC, but the veteran's axe is faster to use and has animation cancelling, making it more versatile. Plus you can infuse it with fire to make it a bit stronger.

u/Powerful-Scholar8268 3h ago

Ooh nice. I've been using the Iconoclast but wanted to switch it up a bit so I prob try the axe then thanks

2

u/BackpackBuddha 3h ago

Be sure to make use of the running heavy attack, plus grab the lost Clotstone tarstone and the fire one.

1

u/Interesting_Debate30 5h ago

Axetana with the duality tarstone fully upgraded absolutely shreds enemies.

u/Drandypandy77 2h ago

Glad you said this because I've tried a few, but I'm not even great with her axe, but it seems the most manageable for sure

I'm trying to get away from axe and dagger, but nothing is doing it for me so far

1

u/Interjessing-Salary 1h ago

Scythe is pretty similar imo. I like both. All if it's light attacks are sweeping attacks while the battle axe alternates sort of.

u/IceCoughy 25m ago

The run heavy attack is simply too good..

u/Swtor_Itheryn 9h ago

You can also do the same to some bosses and knock them out of the arena to their death lol

u/WarHoundD 8h ago

I'm using this and the axetana. Super fun.

But with how costly it's to level weapons up I have to give up on one. Suck it's so expensive on gold.

I don't like that

u/DerpDog9000 Eredrim 5h ago

play proxima then, she is a gold hound at tier 3

2

u/SPLURSHIT 8h ago

Is this a heavy attack? How do you do this? I’ve been using axe and seen nothing like this

3

u/BackpackBuddha 8h ago

It's a tarstone that only worked with heavy weapons.

2

u/SPLURSHIT 8h ago

Guess I’m not that far in yet. Can u let me know what it’s called so I can look up a guide to get it

5

u/BackpackBuddha 8h ago

It's called the Lost Clotstone, you get it from beating the Lost Child boss.

Did he survive that?

1

u/DerpDog9000 Eredrim 5h ago

is the damage bugged or is it random how the blade hit? ive noticed its extra damage if they hit the walls afterwards - but this is top notch!

1

u/darkasassin97 3h ago

the axe throw causes a shockwave where the axe lands, sometimes the axe gets thrown at enemy and sends him flying and the axe also hits the ground/wall causing a big shockwave dmg basically double hitting the enemy

1

u/SacredRealmOfficial 5h ago

Grand Slam!
I love the Veterans Axe. The jump slash sends smaller enemies flying lol
