Killer Axe
| ||||
|
The Killer Axe (Japanese: キラーアクス Killer Axe) is an uncommon axe which was introduced in Thracia 776 and appears in every game since apart from Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. As one of the series of killer weapons, it has a greatly enhanced crit stat compared to regular axes, which gives it a very high chance of inflicting critical hits and makes it an extremely dangerous weapon.

Trivia
- In the Tellius duology, the Killer Axe is the only returning weapon (excluding magic tomes) from Path of Radiance to Radiant Dawn that underwent a significant visual redesign, changing from a red colored axe to an axe that closely resembles the poleaxes in the latter game.
