Is the battle ax any good?

[Quadsword]

I really want to make a viking style load out. Even got a full viking cosplay right now (I'm so happy this game lets me do that ).

use war ax instead

The battle axe is strong AF.

I *strongly* recommend using the ALT grip though. You lose range, but you gain alot of speed and ability to drag.

Stab morph to overhead... omfg.

On that note, I use the over head almost by default. You can 1shot many players with a head shot.

I often riposte with either the overhead, but many guys parry that, so if I remember, I'll riposte with a slash coming from down, with strong acceleration, very difficult to parry

Most people overlook the battle axe because it doesn't have EXTREEEEEME MAX DAMAGE, or spammable speeds.

But, it is one of the least expensive weapons that can one hit kill vs T1 head protection. War axe can, but war axe is very short.

It chops up archers or pajama wearing zweihander users you sneak up on pretty great, because of that, while leaving more points to spare.

it's pretty nice. not the greatest weapon but decent and can do hell agaisnt buildings and such.

Yes. The damage is similar to the messer and zweihander (battle axe does 45 damage against t3 torso, zweihander and messer do 40) while having a similar reach to the longsword. It also has an alt mode that makes it faster than the longsword with sacrificed length.

The war axe is also a good weapon with less reach but more damage. It can kill someone in T3 torso in 2 hits.

War axe also looks really dumb, so keep that in mind.

Not so dumb when you're killing people left and right.

OP said he or she is making a Viking character, though, so a bearded head battle axe would be more appropriate anyway.

It has a beard head for customization.
