The Devil Axe (Japanese: デビルアクス Devil Axe) is a rare axe that was introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. It is a high-risk, high-reward weapon: it has exceptionally high raw power compared to other axes, but it has a chance of backfiring and damaging its wielder instead of the target. If it backfires, the wielder suffers the same amount of damage that would have been dealt to the target had the attack not backfired.
Despite the danger it poses to anybody who would use it, the Devil Axe has some advantages. In addition to its exceptional might, it has a low required weapon rank/level which lets almost any axe user immediately use it, and in the Game Boy Advance games, using it awards a very high amount of weapon experience to increase axe ranks. The risk of having it backfire is mitigated by its wielder's luck stat, although there is always a minimum 1% chance that it will backfire no matter how high a unit's luck is. Additionally, in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia it heals its user when they defeat an enemy, although since axes are usable only by enemies in that game, this does not help the player.

Trivia
- The unused Devil Axe in Path of Radiance is unusual in that it lacks a 3D model for units to wield in battle scenes. If it is hacked into the game, the missing model causes its user to freeze up in a bind pose (pictured below with Boyd), and the game crashes as a result.
- In Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and its remakes, the villager in Chapter 3 who gives Marth the Devil Axe describes its backfiring effect as consuming the blood and flesh of its user.[1]
