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.
[edit] 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.
| level | pots | damage[1] |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1-4 | 4 HP (¼ bar) |
| 2 | 5 | 8 HP (½ bar) |
| 3 | 6 | 16 HP (1 bar) |
| 4 | 7 | 24 HP (1½ bars) |
| 5 | 8 | 32 HP (2 bars) |
| 6 | 9 | 40 HP (2½ bars) |
[edit] 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.

| 2 | 3-4 | 8 HP (½ bar) |

| 4 | 6 | 24 HP (1½ bars) |
[edit] 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.
