Lore
An axe featuring an imposing black blade. Blacksmiths of old believed that forging weapons with black blades would allow the wielder to absorb the souls of fallen enemies. While the era of such superstition has passed, the tradition of crafting weapons from black iron remains.
The tradition of forging black iron weapons dates back to a time when blacksmiths believed the dark metal could capture the souls of the fallen. Though modern smiths no longer hold these superstitions, the craft itself endures as a respected tradition. Black iron weapons remain prized for their distinctive appearance and sturdy construction.
Combat Tips
With a Critical Rate bonus at Level 1, the Black Iron Axe provides a moderate chance to land critical hits. Building around this with additional Critical Rate from Abyss Cores and equipment can push the crit chance high enough to make a meaningful difference in sustained fights.
One-handed axes deliver wide, cleaving swings that can hit multiple enemies in front of Kliff. Pair the Black Iron Axe with a shield for a balanced offense-defense approach, or equip a second one-handed weapon in the off-hand for aggressive dual-wield combos. Axes are particularly effective against enemies that group together, as their sweeping arcs can damage several targets in a single swing.
