The numbers
| Skill | Swordsmanship |
|---|---|
| Hands | Two-handed — no shield with it |
| Base damage | 14–17 |
| Weapon speed | 3 seconds |
| Primary move | Crushing Blow |
| Secondary move | Dismount |
| Hue | 0 [!] — undyed: a plain Axe wears its art's own colours, which is how the picture is drawn. A crafted one takes the colour of the metal or wood it is made from. |
How fast it actually swings depends on your stamina and Swing Speed Increase — the toolkit's weapon builder and Reference › Weapons work that out for your character.
