What Are The Best Axe Builds in Albion Online?

Axes have the most aggressive playstyle in the game. If you like to be the one who always initiates the fights, kill several PvP players and get out looking cool. Or if you like to chill in dungeons, killing some mobs.

Here are the Top 5 Albion Online Best Axe Builds to smash heads and massacre groups of bandits:

5. King of Speed Clearing

THE KING OF SPEED CLEARING BUILDS | ALBION ONLINE BEGINNERS GUIDE 2021

This one is for the people who love doing dungeons and grinding for fame. The Greataxe excels at speed running dungeons.

Rending Spin (Q2) is a 3-second cooldown AOE ability that does significant damage and applies Rending Bleed Charges that deal extra DOT. Closer enemies take less damage than the furthest ones.

Raging Blades (W5) is an additional AOE DOT skill. Additionally, it increases your damage based on how many opponents are hit (max 10 stacks).

Whirlwind (E) is your ultimate ability. This ability is for you if you enjoy spinning around like a ballerina. For 2.5 seconds, you spin your greataxe, causing colossal AOE damage.

The stalker Jacket, Thetford Cape, and Poison Potions are for extra damage. The Scholar Cowl is for mana sustain and some protection.

How to use this build:

Gather mobs (Q)-->(W)-->(E)-->(Q)--> If there are enemies alive, use (R) for more AOE damage--> (F) to reduce cooldowns after clearing the groups.

If you’re low on mana, use (D) and tank some hits.

Huge AOE damage
Good DOT
Speed run

4. High Mobility Paws

The Two BEST GATHERER GANK PvP Builds! - Albion Online Bow of Badon and Bear Paws PvP Build Guide

Bored of doing dungeons and group PvPs? You want to be a lone wolf gathering some protection money? Take your Bear Paws and start choosing your prey.

Rending Rage (Q3) is a 3-combination ability that deals AOE damage with the first 2, and ends with a leap that roots the enemy. If the enemy is nearby, use the first two to deliver damage and wait for the ability to reset; otherwise, leap on him and root him.

You have two excellent options here.

You can boost your movement speed, attack speed, and damage with Adrenaline Boost (W2). Adrenaline Boost (W2) is effective for dismounting. Battle Rush (W3) narrows the gap between your character and the enemy, raising your healing while decreasing the enemy's healing. The Battle Rush (W3) is preferable if you wish to ambush someone with an invisibility potion. You can always get away by using these skills.

Razor Cut (E) is another leap ability that deals a significant amount of instant damage and causes the enemy to bleed, which does DOT. This bleeding causes the mounts to not gallop. If you hit 1 enemy with this ability, your cooldown is reduced by 40%. You can always use this to escape from bad fights.

Royan Sandals and Beef Stew boost your damage.

The Fiend Cowl and Bridgewatch Cape are for CC.

The Assassin Jacket and Invisibility Potion are for engaging and disengaging.

How to use this build:

Use Invisibility Potion--> (F) when you get closer-->(W)-->(E)-->(Q). If they use their shoes’ ability, purge them with (D).

What High Mobility Paws excels in:

High CC
Good for chasing
High mobility
Great for dismounting

High Mobility Paws full details:

Weapon: Bear Paws
Head: Fiend Cowl
Chest: Assassin Jacket
Shoes: Royal Sandals
Cape: Bridgewatch Cape
Food: Beef Stew
Potion: Invisibility Potion

3. Grim Reaper’s Scythe

Albion Online PvP - This Infernal Scythe Will Make Players Quit

Here me out. This build is too versatile. You can either cut some grass with it for some extra money or cut some heads off in corrupted dungeons. It’s up to you. I present to you the Infernal Scythe.

Rending Rage (Q3). This is the superior (Q) for PvP. Just spam it twice for damage and use the third for CC or before finishing them.

Adrenaline Boost (W2). Use it to engage the enemy and close the gap between both of you. Don’t forget to attack after you use it, since it gives you extra damage, movement speed, and attack speed.

Bloody Reap (E) has a cool animation. You do some cool spinny moves with your scythe, dealing high instant AOE damage with the first swing. Your 2nd swing deals massive AOE damage if the enemy is 40% HP or lower, while you do the same as your first swing if the enemy is 40% and up. The best part of this ability is that you can do other abilities while casting it.

The Cleric Robe is your defensive item.

The Mage Cowl, Royal Sandals, Thetford Cape, Beef Stew, and Poison Potions are your offensive items.

How the build works:

(F)-->(D)-->(W)-->(E)--> use 2 (Q) during the animation of (E)

What Grim Reaper’s Scythe excels in:

Good for chasing
High burst damage
High AOE damage

Grim Reaper’s Scythe full details:

Weapon: Infernal Scythe
Head: Mage Cowl
Chest: Cleric Robe

2. 1-Handed Battleaxe

Albion Online || How To Solo Big Blue(Group) Chest in Avalonian Road with Battleaxe (3xFastforward)

If you're up for a challenge, go to the Avalonian Roads and use a Battleaxe to solo the blue chest.

Once more, it is Rending Rage (Q3). Use the first two combos, as you are aware, for damage and effectiveness. Because the mobs around the blue chest are strong and you can only tank three of them, you use this ability instead of Rending Spin (Q2).

Use Adrenaline Boost (W2) to heal more if you are low on HP after using the Mercenary Jacket. Otherwise, simply use it to deal more damage.

The Blood Bandit (E) throws 2 axes that pierce through enemies. Before using it, it’s much better if you gather the enemies into a straight line so that you don’t miss the ability and deal damage to all of them. The first axe deals huge damage. Apply Rending Bleed charges before using it for more damage. The 2nd throw deals a good amount of damage and heals according to the charges of the first enemy hit. Three charges is optimal.

The Mercenary Jacket and Scholar Cowl are your defensive items, maintaining your health and mana.

Mistcaller and Leather Shoes are for cooldown reduction.

The Demon Cape, Beef Stew, and Poison Potion are your offensive items.

It’s simple to use this build:

Use (W) and spam your (Q). When the enemy has 3 Rending Bleed charges on him, use (E). If you go low on HP, use (W)-->(R)-->(Q) and auto-attack.

What 1-Handed Battleaxe excels in:

Huge AOE damage
Low cooldowns
Good mobility
Huge sustain

1-Handed Battleaxe full details:

Weapon: Battleaxe
Off-Hand: Mistcaller
Head: Scholar Cowl
Chest: Mercenary Jacket
Shoes: Hunter Shoes/Leather Shoes
Cape: Demon Cape
Food: Beef Stew
Potion: Poison Potion

1. Earth Splitter

RealmBreaker Axe - 3 Man Fight Team | Dungeon Diving | Outnumbered Fights | 3V20! | Albion Online

If you have the guts to enter battles where you are vastly outnumbered, pick up the Realmbreaker and shatter them.

Since you are up against a group, your first ability will be Rending Spin (Q2). It deals excellent AOE damage and applies Rending Bleed charges that deal DOT damage.

Raging Blades (W5) will be used. It is the superior ability in this scenario. Hit as many enemies as you can. You will deal good DOT and gain damage amplification of up to 40% (if you hit 10 enemies).

Aftershock (E). Jump and divide the earth in half with your powerful axe. It launches the enemy into the air, causes massive instant AOE damage, and reduces their maximum and current health by 20%.

The Hellion Jacket and Resistance Potions are your health sustain.

Scholar Cowl is your mana sustain.

The Bridgewatch Cape is for CC.

The Deadwater Eel Stew is for damage and cooldown reduction.

How to use this build:

(Q)-->(W)-->(E). When you are taking damage, use (D). Use (R) when you have low HP.
