The '''Battle axe''' is a recurring [[Axe Weapon Family|axe]] in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a mid-ranking axe that can typically only be wielded by physically powerful characters and vocations.
 
==Characteristics==
The axe's original design featured a head with three blades of differing size and gold designs throughout. It had a short handle with a leather strap at the end. The design featured in ''VIII'' is a double bit axe short enough to be wielded in one hand and has red cloth wrapped around the handle. The battle axe featured in ''IX'' has a longer handle, making it closer in appearance to a [[Wikipedia:Poleaxe|poleaxe]]. This design has been used in most modern games, with the handle being made long enough for the axe to be wielded with two hands.
