However, you&rsquo;ll soon come to find that the axe is an extremely versatile weapon that can be one of your better melee options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, a Stone or Flint Axe won&rsquo;t do the trick when you start going up against Draugr, Wolves and Fuling. For those enemies, we recommend a special axe that can&rsquo;t chop down trees but can deal a massive amount of damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/valheim\/valheim-the-best-sword-to-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valheim: The best Sword to use&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Picking the right axe in Valheim<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/r1rt8jBUMrlUZwfnewXvuSgyTITmTOkFA_EoRUDSu1M\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL3ZhbGhlaW1fYXhlX2lyb25fZ2F0ZV9uZXcuanBn\" alt=\"valheim_axe_iron_gate_new\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">There&#8217;s one axe you need in Valheim(Picture: Iron Gate)<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For all of your non-tree-chopping needs with an axe, the two-handed Battleaxe is going to serve you best in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/valheim\">Valheim<\/a>. Nicknamed the &ldquo;skull splitter,&rdquo; the Battleaxe is one of the best weapons in the entire game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dealing a Slash and Knockback stat of 75 and 70, respectively, this hulking weapon won&rsquo;t fail you even against the top enemies in Valheim. It&rsquo;s one of the only weapons in the game that possesses a combo of attacks, which can be performed by left-clicking three times in a row.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Battleaxe also features a secondary attack that&rsquo;s faster than the normal moves, which makes it best suited for single enemies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There&rsquo;s not a situation this weapon isn&rsquo;t equipped for but, as it&rsquo;s so strong, it takes a ton of resources to craft. You&rsquo;ll need the following in order to craft the strong axe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Ancient Bark x30<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Iron x35<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Leather Scraps x4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 35 Iron is what really makes this recipe tough to make.
