Brigand Axe | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

The Brigand Axe prefers fire over dark infusions and magic over lightning infusions. The opposite is true for the Battle Axe where dark>fire and lightning>magic. Check on MugenMonkey or Soulsplanner.

my beloved

Only someone as silly as Conan the Barbarian would use this!!!

Is raw good on this as a backup weapon?

Submit

This axe gets an A scaling in STR at +10 Heavy.

Submit

Raw upgrade is not correct. At +10 Raw infused, the AR = 335. I use this on my level 1

Submit

+10 chaos infusion in pyromancer build very effective for late game PVE

Submit

This axe consumes less stamina per swing than the Battle axe

Submit

Should I make this raw infused for a cleric build?

Submit

One of the best weapons in the game due to its attack speed - Push this boi to +10 along with a solid strength/dex build and you can take out more enemies in a few a swings

Submit

Nearly Identical do the other axe but it looks cooler

Submit

Battle axe prefer deep infusions vs fire, dark infusions vs chaos, and Lightning vs Crystal, in terms of BASE DAMAGE (scaling is not affected, and similar for a dark or a chaos for ex.). Fun fact, except for warriors, we found it only in a deep version in the game (in the first mimic chest of the game). It's the reverse for brigand axe: fire>deep, chaos>dark, Crystal>Lightning. It's just a question of some points for the attack rating by the way. All the other weapons of the game that you can infused have fire=deep, chaos=dark, and Crystal=Lightning (in terms of base damage).

I'm using this with raw infusion for my pyromancy build. 14 Str, 10 dex, 40/40 int/faith and sage's ring. Yeah you could get a bit more damage out of the Milwood axe (raw or heavy) but the brigand is super light, only 3 weight and axes do the same poise damage as greatswords which is pretty sick. Plus I'm mainly going to be using carthus flame arc on my right hand weapon so it's not like 30 physical makes too much of a difference.

Doesn't this have B scaling in INT / FTH for Dark and Chaos?

Submit

I've always liked the look of this thing and I decided to use it on my pyromancer/strength build since I wanted an axe but not the battle axe since it looks so basic.... so far it's pretty good, and it actually looks (somewhat) more realistic when it comes to swinging it about since its a wooden handle. that's from a vanity point of view though

Good for my Black Axe Knight cosplay

Submit

My first playthrough i didn't know about upgrading, and used this my entire run. Now, on NG+12, i keep seeing this in my inventory and feel sad that i'll never use it again.

"Skill: Warcry
Let out a spirited warcry that temporarily boosts attack, and pierce through shields to inflict direct damage."

Doesn't pierce through shields.

Actual description is

"Skill: Warcry
Let out a spirited warcry that temporarily boosts attack."

Submit

dont infuse it with raw if you get strength to 20 and axe to +10 it out classes raw +10

Submit

Looks better than the battle axe, consumes less stamina, has warcry and doesn't carry the stigma of using a straight sword. What's not to like?

Submit

Raw Brigand Axe+7 is 283

Submit

Almost as good as astoras ss when raw, only ever about 10 ar less, and requires str instead of faith. Also has the standard best weapon art in game in my opinion.

Submit

Anybody tested the differences? they seem virtually identical?

Submit

This is one of the highest damage per hit weapons for a 3.0 weight, this makes it a great choice for mages who still like to get bloodied.If you put a chaos gem on it it will still scale off your latent Strength/Dexterity but also add fire damage and a massive Intelligence scale to the damage.I am trying to find the best non mage weapon to use with my warrior-mage and so far this is it!- Milton.
