FAQ
Why are axes effective against shielded enemies in Jacksmith?
Axes deliver high cleave force that deals bonus damage against enemy wooden and steel shields, stripping monster defenses before frontline troops advance.
How does shaft alignment affect axe performance?
A tilted axe head reduces weapon balance, cutting into swing velocity and reducing warrior critical strike chances.

Axes are devastating heavy frontline weapons utilized by berserker boars and warrior chieftains.

Step-by-Step Axe Forging Guide
1. Pouring Crescent Molds
- Axe molds feature wide curved blade wings. Keep the pour steady in the central neck so molten metal flows evenly into both cutting edges.
- Review fundamental pouring steps in our Beginner Crafting Guide.
2. Hammering Curved Cutting Edges
- Strike along the curved crescent radius as the target rings contract.
- Maintain equal thickness between the top and bottom axe beards to prevent weapon vibration during warrior strikes.
3. Hardwood Shaft Mounting & Wedge Pinning
- Mount the Hardwood Shaft through the central eye socket.
- Drive the Wedge Pin flush into the top of the eye to lock the head in place.
- Equip counterbalance pommels detailed in Swords and Blades Deep Dive.
- Consult metal stats in our Ores and Materials Guide.
Battlefield Synergy
- Pair axes alongside heavy shield defenders from our Shields and Bucklers Deep Dive.
