War Axes in Oblivion Remastered offer brutal efficiency and barbaric style in one-handed weaponry—here are the top five to hunt down.
War Axes in Oblivion Remastered are classified as one-handed blunt weapons. In practice, they are menacing tools used to tear down enemies with brutal power attacks that inflict weakness on weapons and shields. Unfortunately, unlike maces and most other weapon types, war axes have very few unique, enchanted variants that can be earned through quests or found during exploration. Here are five of the best war axes in the game—some much tougher to acquire than others.
Top 5 War Axes in Oblivion Remastered
5) Glass War Axe
- Max Damage: 18
- Health: 432
- Base Value: 710
- Weight: 32
The Glass War Axe is a sleek yet deadly weapon, ideal for mid-level adventurers. Though lighter than Daedric or Ebony counterparts, it delivers impressive damage and features a stylish, translucent design. You can start finding Glass War Axes in random loot or on enemies such as Necromancers and Heretics (Shivering Isles) once you reach level 12.
4) Defiler
- Max Damage: 12
- Enchantment:
- Drain All Attributes 5 pts for 15 secs
- 800 Charge, 13 Uses
- Health: 216
- Base Value: 405
- Weight: 20
The Defiler is a rare and unique war axe that may not boast the highest base damage, but its powerful enchantment makes it lethal over time. Draining all of an enemy’s attributes cripples their effectiveness, making this axe an ideal tool for drawn-out fights. The Defiler can be acquired in the Shivering Isles, usually through exploration or loot from elite enemies.
3) Ebony War Axe
- Max Damage: 20
- Health: 520
- Base Value: 1450
- Weight: 36
The Ebony War Axe is a masterfully crafted weapon that excels in both visual appeal with its gilded look and late-game combat with its high damage potential. To maximize its lethality, enchant the weapon with effects like Fire Damage, Frost Damage, or Damage Health. It begins appearing in loot at level 16 and is commonly found on high-level Necromancers and Heretics.
2) Daedric War Axe
- Max Damage: 22
- Health: 616
- Base Value: 3100
- Weight: 40
The Daedric War Axe is a heavy, brutal weapon that becomes available past level 20. It’s often found in the hands of Dremora and other Daedra, especially inside Oblivion Gates. When enhanced through enchantments, the Daedric War Axe becomes the best of its kind found through looting.
1) Madness War Axe
- Max Damage: 23
- Enchantment:
- Damage Health 20 pts
- 4150 Charge, 75 Uses
- Health: 665
- Base Value: 5067
- Weight: 42
Note: All values except the type of enchantment vary based on player level.
The Madness War Axe sits comfortably among the top one-handed blunt weapons in Oblivion Remastered. Forged from Madness Ore in the Shivering Isles, it surpasses even Daedric gear in damage and durability. To obtain it, complete the ‘The Antipodean Hammer’ quest and bring Madness Ore to Cutter. If you also provide a Madness Matrix, you’ll receive the enchanted version, which eviscerates enemies with 20 points of Damage Health.
