Smithscript Axe

The Smithscript Axe is a throwing axe from Shadow of the Erdtree. Instead of swinging it on strong attacks, you hurl it, which turns an ordinary axe into a ranged option. Its skill is Wild Strikes.

It asks for a little of everything (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Faith) and scales with all four, so it suits hybrid characters who have spread their points around. The engraved script on its head marks it as a product of the smithing arts.
