Axe Weapon Family: Difference between revisions

Axes are a recurring family of weapons in the [[Dragon Quest (series)| Dragon Quest]] series. Though typically depicted in official artwork as the weapon of choices for [[warrior]]s and other melee-oriented characters, their actual presence in the series has been relatively scarce until the release of [[Dragon Quest VIII]].

Unlike [[sword]]s and [[spear]]s, axes have been featureless weapons with no additional benefits complimenting their strength since the original game, with the sole exception of the [[Demon axe]]. As with several other armament types, this would change with the development of [[Dragon Quest IX]], which features many hatchets with additional effects.
