Dark Souls III eGuide (Steam) Equipment Melee Weapons

Greataxes

Heavy and powerful, Greataxes have intense Str requirements to even wield them, on top of hefty weights that demand even more attribute investment to use them effectively.

With common access to Warcry, these weapons can potentially hit even harder than a Greatsword of equivalent upgrade level, if you can handle their attribute demands and ponderous combat style.

Greataxe
