Axe Mastery

Axe Mastery reflects a Warrior's skill with using an axe. Leveling up this skill also affects the critical hit rate and the effectiveness of axe skills.

Compared to swords, axes have a higher maximum damage, lower minimum damage, and the same attack rate. Specifically, a maximum-damage axe will do 6-28 damage, compared to 15-22 for a sword. While this means swords have a higher average damage per hit, it means axes are better for critical hits, which always use the maximum damage of a weapon.

The majority of axe skills are adrenaline-based, so it's advisable for an axe-focused warrior to use adrenaline-increasing skills or equipment.
