Poleax

The Poleaxe is a weapon that apears in several games in the Fire Emblem series. It's most notable characteristic is that it deals bonus damage to units who are mounted on horseback. Seeing as horese-back units are abundant as both allies and enemies this makes it usful to units on both sides.

The Poleaxe is the axe equiliant of the Longsword, which is a sword that also deals extra damage to mounted units. It however is more commen then the Longsword. It can be usually found in the possesion of several enemies throughout several fire emblem games. About 75% of the time you will recieve it upon killing that aponent weilding it. this is the most commen way of getting it as it is very unusual to be able to buy it.

The Poleaxe has a Hit stat of only sixty meaning it is very inacurate. Most enemies with it have trouble landing hits. It also has an MT of 10, and critical hit bonus of 0, and a weight of 18. Like most axes it's range is only one.Colm 18:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
