The axes of Bohemia are potent weapons. Designed to slash, hack, and kill any enemy in front of you, Axes will help you cut down any foe that dares to stand in your way. That said, they are most effective against less armoured enemies and are not always the best at keeping large groups of opponents at bay. However, their ability to be combined with a shield shores up a lot of those negatives and helps the Axe to shine as one of the best weapon choices in the game. To make things better, axes are generally more available (both through skill requirements and purchase potential) than their peers.
