Axe of Godrick

Notes

• Requires 34 Strength and 22 Dexterity, and weighs 11. It deals Physical damage, with substantial scaling from both Strength and Dexterity and a somewhat stronger Strength coefficient.
• Two-handing meets the Strength requirement at 23 Strength, but still requires the full 22 Dexterity. Investing in both attributes can suit the weapon instead of treating Dexterity as only an entry requirement.
• I Command Thee Kneel! costs 15 FP for two axe smashes and their shockwaves. Another skill input adds the third smash for 15 FP, making the whole sequence 30 FP.
• The axe contacts and shockwaves use the weapon's Physical attack power. The shocks are not a separate Faith or Intelligence spell.
• The weapon contact and shockwave can connect separately at close range, so being beside the target gives more pressure than clipping it only with the outer shock.
• The final shockwave is larger and stronger, but adds a long commitment. Stop after the initial pair when the enemy is already preparing to retaliate.
• Shard of Alexander improves the skill. Godfrey Icon does not because it cannot be charged, and Roar Medallion does not boost it merely because the skill name is a shouted command.
• The skill slams the axe rather than stomping with a foot. Foot-attack bonuses do not apply just because it creates a ground shockwave.
• Uses Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
• Godrick at Stormveil gives the correct remembrance. Restoring Godrick's Great Rune at its Divine Tower is a separate task and is unnecessary for the axe exchange.
