Axebreaker (Japanese: 斧殺し Axe Slayer) is a skill which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. It gives its user enormous advantages when fighting an enemy who is wielding an axe or club. In Awakening and Fates, where it a class skill learned by Heroes, it provides enormous boosts to its user's hit rate and avoid when fighting these weapons.

In Heroes, it is a type B passive skill split into three levels, in order from lowest to highest: Axebreaker 1, Axebreaker 2, and Axebreaker 3. Units with a Axebreaker skill will, when fighting the user of a axe skill while this skill's user's own HP is at a certain threshold or higher, automatically make a double-attack and prevent the axe skill's user from doing so themselves. The minimum amount of current HP required to activate the skill decreases with each level.
