Top 5 greataxes in Elden Ring and where to find them

Greataxes are one of the numerous weapon types available to players in Elden Ring. These are heavy, hard-hitting, and slow weapons that are extremely popular within the community.

Since all greataxes are heavy weapons, strength is one of the key stats that is required to wield them. However, there are a few that require additional stats on account of the weapon art and the kind of damage that they deal.

Either way, greataxes are viable options and can be used in most high-end activities within the game. A few of the best ones can be obtained early in the game as well. Therefore, players will not have to grind too much, though the pre-requisites for wielding them can be a bit daunting at first.

Every greataxe that players should consider chasing in Elden Ring

1) Greataxe

This is the simplest weapon within this category that players can obtain in Elden Ring. The Greataxe is an early game weapon and is one of the best if players are looking for an all-out strength build.

The weapon requires 30 strength to use, it scales rather well, and it can also be used for end-game content. Obviously, there are better options, but its weapon art, the "Barbaric Roar," helps to enhance the attack rating.

This is another greataxe that is quite popular amongst players. While the base damage on this one is a bit low, it does not matter as much once the weapon reaches level 14 or 15. Beyond that level, the overall damage it does absolutely destroys most of the enemies in the game.

The Executioner's Greataxe is reminiscent of the Dragonslayer Greataxe from Dark Souls 3 (except the lightning part). The Elden Ring version, however, is equally good and worth leveling up and grinding for.

The thing that makes the Executioner's Greataxe so good is the extra critical damage that it provides. Weapons usually have 100 critical damage, but this one has 115. Therefore, the damage output of the Executioner's Greataxe is significantly enhanced.

Apart from that, this weapon comes with the War Cry skill as well, which helps to boost its damage output.
