“A weighty but more powerful axe.”

The Steel Axe is the second most common Axe that exists in the Fire Emblem series. Conforming to the standard relationship that is shared between iron and steel weapons, the Steel Axe is notably stronger and more expensive than its iron counterpart. Despite this, however, the cumbersome nature of this axe usually causes players to outfit axe users with the Iron Axe instead.
In Fates, the Steel Star Axe (鋼の投撃斧, lit. Steel Throwing Axe) is the enemy-exclusive ranged variant of the Steel Axe.
