Overview

An axe of the now vanished Tardik Freeswords. A mere clerical error can sometimes forge a hero's name. Such is the tale of the Tardic Freewords.

How to Obtain

One-handed axes of this grade are commonly found throughout the world. The Tardik Axe can be purchased from Quartermasters, dropped by bandit-type enemies, or discovered in loot containers scattered across the landscape. Players can also occasionally find one-handed axes as rewards for completing side quests in towns and outposts.

Lore

An axe of the now vanished Tardik Freeswords. A mere clerical error can sometimes forge a hero's name. Such is the tale of the Tardic Freewords.

The Tardik Freeswords were a mercenary company whose name was born from a simple clerical error. Despite this humble origin, they built a reputation strong enough that their weapons carry their name long after the company itself has vanished from history.

Combat Tips

With a Critical Rate bonus at Level 1, the Tardik 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 Tardik 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.
