Axes
Axes are a type of melee armament in ELDEN RING (2022).
A handful of axes in ELDEN RING are referred to as "hatchets", namely: the Forked Hatchet, the Forked-Tongue Hatchet , the Hand Axe, and the Icerind Hatchet. These axes possess faster attack swings on their light attacks and are much lighter than the other axes.
The Messmer Soldier's Axe , the Ripple Blade, and the Warped Axe also possess different movesets, owing to their double-bladed head. The Warped Axe additionally features increased Status Effect build-up from the Cold, Poison, and Blood Affinities, on par with Greataxes.
Ashes of War
Note that the Smithscript Axe has additional restrictions on compatible Ashes of War due to having a ranged projectile from its heavy attack and as such cannot use the following skills: Cragblade, Determination, Royal Knight's Resolve, Chilling Mist, Flaming Strike, Lightning Slash, Sacred Blade, Sacred Order, Shared Order, and Poisonous Mist.
Axes are considered as "medium axes capable of slashing". As such, the infusable ones are compatible with the following Ashes of War:
