Golden Axe/Characters

All characters deal roughly the same base damage, the difference between them is the strength of their magic and the speed and effectiveness of their attacks.

Tyris Flare
Tyris Flare has the most powerful magic but the weakest attack, making her a somewhat difficult character. Her dash attack is flying kick which almost never misses. Her special attack is a spin attack that hits enemies directly behind.

Ax Battler
Ax Battler is a middle-of-the-road character; both his attack and magic are fairly even, making him a good character choice for new players. His dash attack is a shoulder barge, which is slow and may well miss. His special attack is a powerful spin attack that hits enemies directly behind.

Gilius Thunderhead
Gilius Thunderhead sacrifices magic strength for combat prowess. He is the strongest fighter, and the favoured character of many experienced players. His dash attack is a headbutt, which is fairly decent. His special attack is a backwards roll that hits enemies far behind him. He is largely invulnerable when rolling. For some reason Gilius deals double damage against other characters when playing ../The Duel/ in two-player mode.
