• First sold at Vault (GS) • First sold at Madra (TLA)

In Golden Sun, Battle Axes can be bought from weapon vendors in the towns of Vault, Bilibin, and Imil, and can be equipped by Isaac and Garet. When said two first enter Vault early in their quest, the Battle Axe sold at the weapon vendor is noticeably stronger than even the Long Swords Isaac and Garet could be equipped with, and yet it only costs 80 more coins to buy it, so buying one would not be a bad idea even if you have Long Swords already. It would be useful for Isaac to use in the upcoming battle with the Vault Bandits for physical attack, while Garet and Ivan use offensive Psynergy.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age it can be bought in the towns of Madra, Alhafra, and Garoh, and can be equipped by Felix and Piers. In The Lost Age, most players would never buy a Battle Axe for Felix the first chance they get at Madra because, in the Dehkan Plateau dungeon-style location that must be completed prior to reaching Madra, a superior Venus-based axe Artifact named Themis' Axe can be found in a chest. That is a powerful weapon for Felix at that early point because it has 30 Attack and an Unleash effect whose Venus element is capitalized on by Felix's Venus Power rating.

• First sold at Carver's Camp (DD)

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Battle Axes can be bought in the towns of Carver's Camp and Harapa, and can be equipped by Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo. The Battle Axe has been given one unleash as part of Dark Dawn's revisions to the Unleash system. Its Unleash, Critical Strike (かいしんのいちげき, Critical Hit^?), is a non-elemental physical attack that multiplies damage by 1.5.

In Dawn Dawn, the superior Themis' Axe will be found before arriving in Carver's Camp, and will likely be equipped to Matthew due to its Venus-based Unleashes. However, the Battle Axe is a good upgrade for Tyrell from the Long Sword he will probably be carrying, and will serve him well while traveling the Konpa Ruins. Later on, Tyrell can acquire the Blow Mace at Passaj Mountain Climb. The Blow Mace gives nearly double the Attack increase, and has the added advantage of having a Mars-based Unleash.
