Greataxe is the standard Greataxe in Elden Ring. The Greataxe scales primarily with Strength and is a good Weapon for heavy hitting strength focused builds who want to deal devastating knockdown damage.
Greataxe akin to a huge lump of iron. Recognized as the weapon of choice of badland chieftains.
Too heavy to be wielded by those of merely ordinary strength, blows from this axe will flatten enemies, and the force of its charged attack is a sight to behold.
Elden Ring Greataxe Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: Barbaric Roar
- This weapon can be infused and buffed
- Greataxe can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones
- Barbaric Roar increases AR by 10% and changes Heavy Attack into a 3 hit Combo
- The Greataxe notably has the highest base damage/damage per swing among the great weapon class (for builds with ≤80 STR). Charged heavy attacks cause enormous damage per swing, especially when using the Axe Talisman and Spiked Cracked Tear. The damage comes at the cost of slightly lower attack speed, making chained attacks more difficult than great swords/maces. This weapon can be rather effective against large, slow enemies with high HP.
- Can be equipped with only 20 Strength if two-handed.
- NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. Additionally, speed, range, recovery time and guard counter speed of Greataxe weapons has increased.
- Sell Value: 100 Runes
