Template:Sideicon
An axe used for ordinary tasks that was enhanced to serve as a weapon on the battlefield. In ancient times, the axe was a necessary tool for daily life activities, such as chopping wood. It is believed that its implementation as a weapon at the time stems from how instinctually users would draw this reliable tool when surrounded by beasts or enemies. However, being heavier than a sword, using it requires broad swings that unfortunately reduce accuracy.
