Axes
Axes are weapons Coen can pick up besides swords. Swords are the core of the game's combat, so treat axes as an alternative you find along the way rather than a main weapon class.

Good to know
- Most weapons in the game are swords, but axes and other weapons can be found.
- Rebel Wolves said you can pick up axes and other weapons as you go.
- Weapon databases list four sword classes and no separate axe class; heavy cleavers and billhooks are grouped with great swords.
What it's good for
An axe works like any other melee weapon in the directional combat system. Pick one up if it beats your current sword's damage.
Compared with
Swords get far more variety and legendary versions. If an axe-like weapon shows up as a great sword in your inventory, it handles like one: slow and heavy.

Long Swords
Long swords are one of the sword types Coen can use. They sit between quick short swords and heavy great swords, which makes them a safe all-round choice.

Short Swords
