DS2 Infantry Axe Hints and Tips
- Upgradeable with regular Titanite to +10
- Okay choice for Strength focused classes at early-game.
- Despite it's description, the axe actually deals a decent amount of damage.
- Small, light and quick. Great against small hordes as most attacks are horizontal.
- Rather low durability, unreliable as a main weapon for PvE.
- You can purchase a Club pretty early from Merchant Hag Melentia, a better choice in most cases.

Sadly has my favorite look of all the small axes but is by far the worst
If you do the glitch where you skip character creation entirely this is the only weapon in the game that you can wield without boosting dex except for bare fists. If you want to make your hatred of dex known you might want to use this weapon. I don't count staves and chimes because those are catalysts and only deal elemental damage.
