The Forge Great Axe weapons are heavy melee weapons that focus on power and range instead of speed. In this guide, you will learn everything about The Forge Great Axe category, including all axe stats, simple recipes, and how to choose the best option for your progress.
The Forge Great Axe Guide
What Are Great Axes in The Forge?
Great Axes are a weapon category in Roblox The Forge that use a wide, heavy swing. Their attack reaches 9 studs in front of you, so you can hit several enemies standing in a group instead of only one target. This makes Great Axes very useful in crowded areas or when farming many enemies quickly.
Great Axes usually swing slower than lighter weapons such as daggers or katanas. Because of this, you must plan your attacks and timing more carefully so that enemies do not hit you while you are mid swing. In return for this slower speed, you gain high damage per hit.
In the current version of the game, the main Great Axes and related heavy blades are:
- Double Battle Axe
- Scythe
- Greater Battle Axe
- Wyvern Axe
- Executioner’s Great Axe
- Anchored Straight Blade (a heavy straight blade in a similar power level)
All of these weapons are crafted at the forge using ores as materials. You do not loot them as random drops. You build them by combining ores and playing the forging minigame.
All Great Axes and Heavy Blade Stats
Double Battle Axe: Reliable Starter Great Axe
Stats and Role
Double Battle Axe is usually the first Great Axe many players use. It gives you solid damage and range without any special requirements.
- Base Damage: 15.75 DMG
- Attack Speed: 1.05 seconds
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 15.00
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: 1/1 inside its own Great Axe pool
Because it is guaranteed in its pool, it is very consistent. You do not need rare luck to obtain it. Double Battle Axe is good if you are learning how Great Axes work and want a strong but simple weapon.
How to Craft Double Battle Axe
The game does not use fixed recipes like 1 ore of one type and 2 ores of another type. Instead, you choose a weapon category, put in ores, and the game rolls a result inside that category.
To craft Double Battle Axe in a clear way:
- Go to the forge (Furnace) near the blacksmith.
- Select the Great Axe weapon category on the crafting menu.
- Add around 15 to 20 ores. Early and mid game ores are enough for this weapon.
- Start the forging minigame and try to hit the prompts as accurately as you can.
Since Double Battle Axe is guaranteed in its basic pool, any time you roll that pool for a simple Great Axe you will get this weapon. This makes it a very reliable option for players with limited ores.
Scythe: Faster Great Axe With Same DPS
Stats and Role
Scythe is a Great Axe that focuses more on swing speed. While it hits for less damage per strike than Double Battle Axe, it swings faster, so its total DPS is the same.
- Base Damage: 14.25 DMG
- Attack Speed: 0.95 seconds
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 15.00
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: about 1/2 to 1/4 inside its Great Axe pool
Scythe has a wide, sweeping hitbox that can reach several enemies at once. This makes it very effective in areas where enemies are grouped tightly together. It feels smoother to use than some slower Great Axes because the gap between swings is shorter.
How to Craft Scythe
Scythe is crafted in the same Great Axe category, but it is not guaranteed every time.
A simple way to craft it is:
- Go to the forge and select Great Axe.
- Insert around 15 to 25 ores to raise your chance of staying in the Great Axe category.
- Use ores with decent multipliers, such as Fireite or Magmaite, if you have them. These ores help increase your final damage.
- Complete the forging minigame carefully to keep the weapon quality high.
You will sometimes receive Scythe instead of Double Battle Axe or other axes. Because its chance is lower, you may need several attempts if you are aiming for this weapon specifically.
Greater Battle Axe: Balanced Power Great Axe
Stats and Role
Greater Battle Axe offers a clear damage upgrade over Double Battle Axe and Scythe. It keeps a simple 1 second swing time, which feels stable and easy to learn.
- Base Damage: 17.25 DMG
- Attack Speed: 1.00 second
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 17.25
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: 1/4 in its Great Axe pool
This weapon is a strong middle step. It is especially helpful when enemies start to gain more health and early axes start to feel weak. Greater Battle Axe keeps a good balance. It does not swing too slowly, but it hits noticeably harder.
How to Craft Greater Battle Axe
Greater Battle Axe uses the same category system but has a lower chance of appearing.
You can use this plan:
- Open the forge and choose the Great Axe category.
- Insert around 18 to 22 ores. Using more ores raises your chance of landing in the stronger part of the Great Axe pool.
- Use mid game ores that you can gather in bulk. This keeps your damage respectable without wasting your rarest ores.
- Play the forging minigame with focus so your final stats are not reduced.
Because the chance is 1/4, you might not see Greater Battle Axe every time. However, it is still more common than the rarest axes. It is a good target for players who want to upgrade step by step.
Wyvern Axe: High Damage Great Axe
Stats and Role
Wyvern Axe is one of the strongest Great Axes in terms of DPS. It hits very hard and still swings fairly quickly for a heavy weapon.
- Base Damage: 18.75 DMG
- Attack Speed: 0.91 seconds
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 20.60
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: 1/4 inside its Great Axe pool
Because of its high DPS, Wyvern Axe is excellent for late game farming and boss fights where you can safely land heavy swings. It helps you clear enemies faster and shorten battles if you manage your positioning and timing well.
How to Craft Wyvern Axe
Wyvern Axe usually requires stronger ores and more patience.
You can follow this method:
- Select Great Axe at the forge.
- Use about 20 to 22 ores to improve your chances of rolling a top tier Great Axe.
- Focus on high multiplier, late game ores. These ores greatly raise your final damage.
- Keep your ore choices within a similar quality level so the multiplier stays stable and does not get dragged down.
- Complete the forging minigame with as few mistakes as possible.
Since the chance is 1/4 within its pool, you may need to craft multiple times. Each successful Wyvern Axe is very rewarding because of its strong performance.
Executioner’s Great Axe: Late Game Great Axe
Stats and Role
Executioner’s Great Axe is a late game Great Axe with very high base damage and strong overall power.
- Base Damage: 19.50 DMG
- Attack Speed: 1.05 seconds
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 19.50
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: 1/5 in its Great Axe pool
This weapon is intended for players who already have access to strong ores and late game areas. It hits extremely hard, making it effective against tough enemies and bosses that have large health bars.
How to Get and Craft Executioner’s Great Axe
You usually need to reach a later map or special content before you can roll for Executioner’s Great Axe. The exact steps can depend on current game updates and events.
A general and clear path is:
- Unlock or access the late game map where the Executioner’s Great Axe pool is available.
- Go to the forge and choose Great Axes as your weapon category.
- Insert at least 15 ores. Using 15 to 25 ores gives a better chance and stronger result.
- Focus on late game ores with high multipliers so your weapon gains a strong damage boost.
- Play the forging minigame carefully to keep your quality high.
Because the chance is 1/5, it is rarer than many other Great Axes. Expect to craft several times if you want this weapon specifically.
Anchored Straight Blade: Heavy Straight Blade With Great Axe Level Power
Stats and Role
Anchored Straight Blade is a heavy straight blade that has the same 9 stud range and similar damage level to the best Great Axes. Instead of a wide sideways swing, it uses a more direct forward hitbox.
- Base Damage: 18.25 DMG
- Attack Speed: 0.91 seconds
- Range: 9 studs
- DPS: 20.05
- Base Price: 850 gold
- Chance: 1/6 in its weapon pool
Because its DPS is very high and its swing is fast for a heavy weapon, Anchored Straight Blade is ideal for players who like precise, controlled attacks. It works well in fights where enemies stand in front of you in a line rather than surrounding you on all sides.
How to Craft Anchored Straight Blade
Anchored Straight Blade is crafted as a heavy weapon, similar to Great Axes, but it belongs to its own pool with a 1/6 chance.
You can use this pattern:
- Go to the forge in the map where its pool is available.
- Select the correct heavy weapon category that includes Anchored Straight Blade.
- Insert around 20 to 22 ores to match its late game strength.
- Use high multiplier, late game ores, the same type you would use for Wyvern Axe or Executioner’s Great Axe, to maximize final damage.
- Complete the forging minigame with as few mistakes as possible.
Since the chance is 1/6, it can take several attempts to get Anchored Straight Blade. The result is a very powerful and precise heavy weapon.
General Great Axe and Heavy Blade Crafting Tips
Choose Good Ores
The game calculates your final weapon stats using the ores you place into the forge. Stronger ores give a higher multiplier, which increases your damage.
Try to use mid and late game ores when crafting serious weapons, because they improve your result a lot.
Avoid mixing very weak and very strong ores in extreme ways, as weaker ores can lower the overall multiplier.
Use Enough Ores
The number of ores also matters for both chance and strength.
Use at least 15 ores for normal Great Axe and heavy blade crafting.
Use around 20 to 22 ores if you are aiming for high end weapons and want stronger stats and better odds of landing in the right pool.
Using more ores costs more time and farming, but the payoff is a better weapon that can last you for many areas.
Play the Minigame Carefully
The forging minigame directly affects weapon quality.
Try to hit the prompts at the right time and avoid missing steps.
Even with very good ores, many mistakes in the minigame can lower your final damage and quality.
Good ores plus careful minigame play together give the best results.
Which Great Axe or Heavy Blade Should You Aim For?
If you are in early or mid game, Double Battle Axe and Scythe are good starting choices. They are easier to get and give you a clear upgrade over lighter starter weapons. Greater Battle Axe is a natural next step when enemies start surviving too many hits.
In late game, Wyvern Axe and Executioner’s Great Axe are strong goals if you like wide, heavy swings that can hit many enemies. Anchored Straight Blade is an excellent choice if you prefer a precise heavy weapon with high DPS and a straight hitbox. You can choose your target weapon based on whether you want more crowd control or more focused forward damage.
