All axes are equally good at cutting down trees, but stronger metals or those of higher item quality will do more damage in combat. They do slashing damage, which tends to sever limbs (or heads) on criticals. Without at least one battle axe, your fortress will be unable to cut down any trees for wood. † Dwarves wield weapon two-handed (set number of weapons to 2 in fort mode ( v- p- s- m)) Melee weapons Battle axe Ī battle axe is both a weapon and a tool for wood cutting.

(See weapon for a full discussion of the mechanics behind all weapons.) In Adventure mode, this distinction is nearly meaningless, as adventurers (dwarven or otherwise) don't need to manufacture their own weapons, and are not nearly as limited in what they can wield as in Fortress mode. Although they can wield others (gained from dead invaders or trade), these seven are considered the " basic dwarven weapons", as opposed to other weapons. There are only 7 weapons that dwarves can manufacture in Fortress mode.
