- This article is about the weapon type. You may be looking for Axe (Famicom), the most basic weapon of the type in the NES games.
- "Club" redirects here. For the weapon in Shadows of Valentia, see Club (Terror).
The Axe (Japanese: 斧 Axe) is one of the primary weapon types in the Fire Emblem series. A physical weapon type, axes typically possess the greatest raw power of physical weapons, yet are considerably heavier, and have lesser accuracy; in this respect, axes are similar to dark magic. Along with swords and lances, axes are part of the weapon triangle; in accordance with it, they possess an advantage over lances, but are weak to swords. In Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, axes are only available to enemy units, while in other titles they are used by both playable and enemy units.
In Fire Emblem Fates, their Hoshidan counterpart is called the club (Japanese: 金棒 kanabō). They are almost exactly the same as axes and share a weapon level, differentiated by the effect of that, on average, they have higher hit and critical rates but lower might.

Poleaxes and greataxes
Poleaxes (Japanese: 戦斧 Battle Axe) are a variation on the standard iron, steel and silver axes. Characterised as larger and heavier axes, they possess greater power than their axe counterparts at the expense of greater weight and lower hit. They are an axe counterpart to the "blade" swords and "greatlance" lances, appearing only in Radiant Dawn.
They are not to be confused with the anti-cavalry Poleax appearing in other games of the series.
Greataxes are the Engage equivalent of the poleaxes.

Trivia
- No axe has appeared in every game in the series; this makes the axe the only one of the four weapon types that have appeared in every game in the series with this distinction.
- Among the class concept art for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light is an unused class that is depicted wielding clubs.
