The Short Axe is an Axe that debuts in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Overview

Considered to be the stronger variant of the Hand Axe, this axe is capable of performing ranged attacks. The superior Might of the Short Axe is offset by its heavy Weight, low Accuracy, and limited Durability.

In Engage, the Short Axe is referred to as the "Compact Axe" in the localization.

Trivia

• Despite its name, the Short Axe's size and length in all of its appearances except Three Houses is just as large as all other axes in the series.
• In Three Houses, due to its small size, the Short Axe uses sword animations instead of axe animations during combat.
