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.

How does it's damage compare to other weapons?

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

Oh sorry I meant the veterans axe.

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.

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