How to Use Battle Axe

Scales with Strength and Dexterity

The Battle Axe primarily scales with Strength and leveling it up will increase the damage of your physical attacks. You can get the most out of the scaling bonus with the talisman How to Get Starscourge Heirloom: Effects and Locations that raises your Strength and by applying a Heavy affinity that improves the default scaling grade of the weapon.

Additionally, you can use whetblades to apply different affinities that will let the weapon scale with your other stats as well.

Infusable with Ashes of War

This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War and has the weapon skill Wild Strikes by default. This skill allows the user to swing the weapon continuously by holding the skill button. It can be followed up with either a normal or strong attack for an additional finishing blow.

The weapon skill gives the user high Poise while attacking and consecutive attacks are extremely effective at stun locking enemies. It uses both FP and Stamina while in use, good talismans to pair with Wild Strikes are the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Green Turtle Talisman, and Shard of Alexander. These talismans will increase the damage dealt by the skill and give you fast Stamina recovery.
