Overview
The Dekarr Greataxe is Oongka's starting two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert. It comes equipped from the moment Oongka becomes playable after Chapter VII, when Kliff recovers from the battle at Ashclaw Keep. With 26 base attack power and a Critical Rate Lv. 1 bonus, it is by far the most powerful greataxe available in terms of raw stats, reflecting its status as a signature weapon rather than generic gear.
The Dekarr name likely ties to the orcish origins of Oongka's tribe. As a greataxe, it delivers devastating wide-arc swings that can hit multiple enemies in a single pass. The combination of high base damage and critical rate makes it effective against both groups of weaker enemies and tougher individual targets like elite foes and bosses.

How to Obtain
The Dekarr Greataxe is Oongka's starting equipment. It is automatically added to the inventory when Oongka becomes a playable character after completing the events of Chapter VII. The weapon cannot be sold, purchased, or crafted. It is a unique, character-bound item.
Combat Notes
At 26 attack power, the Dekarr Greataxe outclasses every other greataxe and warhammer in the game by a wide margin. For comparison, most craftable two-handed weapons sit between 13 and 16 attack, making the Dekarr roughly 60% stronger than a standard option. The Critical Rate Lv. 1 bonus on top of that base damage means critical hits from this weapon can deal truly staggering amounts of damage.
The greataxe moveset features wide horizontal sweeps, overhead chops, and ground-slam attacks that create shockwaves. Oongka's unique combat abilities, including Dual Wielding Mastery (which lets him wield two-handed weapons single-handed), Giant Swing, and Spinning Slash, all scale with the equipped weapon's attack power. The Dekarr Greataxe makes these abilities significantly more lethal than they would be with a standard weapon.
Because the weapon cannot be sold, there is no reason to hold onto it in reserve. Players should use it as Oongka's primary weapon from the moment it becomes available and build their Abyss Core configuration around its strengths.
Refinement
The Dekarr Greataxe supports 10 refinement levels at a Blacksmith. Given its already high base attack of 26, each refinement tier adds proportionally more absolute damage than it would on a weaker weapon. Investing refinement materials into this weapon early is one of the most efficient ways to increase Oongka's overall damage output.
Tips
This weapon should be your first refinement priority for Oongka. Its 26 base attack means each percentage-based refinement bonus yields more total damage than upgrading a weaker weapon.
Pair with Abyss Cores that boost critical hit chance to build on the weapon's existing Lv. 1 crit bonus. With enough crit stacking, Oongka can land devastating critical strikes consistently.
The Dekarr Greataxe works well with Oongka's grappling abilities like Throw and Lariat. Soften a target with a grapple, then follow up with a charged heavy axe swing for massive burst damage.
Use the wide sweeping arc of the greataxe against groups of enemies. Position so multiple targets line up in front of you before committing to a horizontal sweep.
