{{Article quote|A relic from the days of the Iron Lords, the Iron Battle Axe channels energy from an external source through a series of capacitors embedded in the blade. These capacitors enhance Solar Light, allowing the user to trigger focused blasts at their enemies.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron Lords#Iron Battle Axe|Iron Battle Axe]]''</ref>}}

The '''Iron Battle Axe''' is a powerful weapon, signature of the [[Iron Lords]] that changed the [[Dark Age]]. When [[Solar]] [[Light]] is channeled within the weapon, the axe amplifies it and enhances it, turning into an instrument of destruction.

==Gameplay==
The Iron Battle Axe can be used by the player in the [[Story]] [[Mission]] [[The Iron Tomb]], in the [[Archon's Forge]], and in the second phase of the [[Quarantine Patrol]] mission. The weapon can be swung quickly with a light attack that deals very high damage. The heavy attack button slams the axe into the ground to release a devastating wave of Solar fire. The Iron Battle Axe can run out of energy, losing a great amount of damage, but can be recharged by absorbing fire from nearby braziers.

==History==
The weapon has been synonymous with the Iron Lords for their whole existence, but most of its copies were lost after their dissolution. [[Saladin Forge]] would keep one as his signature weapon, surviving into the modern age, and others were recovered by [[Guardian]]s that explored the [[Plaguelands]] during the [[SIVA Crisis]].

Lord Saladin would continue to bear his Battle Axe after his return to the city during the [[Clash of the Chosen]], and brought it with himself when he joined the [[Imperial Cabal]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Lore:Quintessence#V_-_Rite_Proven|Quintessence V: Rite Proven]]''</ref> In this occasion, he also left another Iron Battle Axe to [[Uldren Sov|The Crow]]. The [[Hunter]] would in time learn to use it, even bringing it with himself into [[The Pale Heart]] to use against [[The Witness]].

==Trivia==
*The Iron Battle Axe is one of three weapons other than the [[Shock Cannon]] and [[Null Cannon]] that was added with the [[Rise of Iron]] expansion.
