Hand Axe
From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
| ||||
|
The Hand Axe (Japanese: 手斧 Hand Axe) is a fairly common axe-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series, appearing in every game except Gaiden and its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It is the lowest ranked of the ranged axes, its main drawbacks being a low accuracy and heavy weight.
