Damage and Power are the wiki's own {{Weapon Stats}} formula evaluated at each weapon's required level. Damage adds 10% per damage perk; bows and staves have Power instead, which ignores perks — a different number, so it gets its own bar, column and sort and is never ranked against Damage. The wiki notes these figures are not updated post Wake of Water, so treat them as estimates. Legendary = the weapon carries named perks.
Why pick two-handed axes in Enshrouded?
Two-handed axes are the heaviest two-handers in Enshrouded — slowest attack speed in slot, top stagger uptime, and damage rolls that approach greatswords but with better armour penetration. They scale with STR (Strength) and live in the Warrior + Barbarian skill trees. The 2H axe's wedge is breaking armoured frontline enemies + slow bosses — fights where windups are predictable enough to commit to the slow swing. As a slot priority 2H axes are B-tier — niche compared to greatswords (faster, more versatile) and hammers (better AOE) but the right call against specific armoured bosses. Pair with Berserker Barbarian for raw burst or with Tank cross-tree for solo viability.
