5 best Leviathan Axe skills you need to unlock first in God of War Ragnarok

sportskeeda.com:

In God of War Ragnarok Kratos gets to wield both the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos from the beginning. This gives gamers ample time to power up and upgrade Kratos’s primary weapon from the Axe skill tree.

Players need to spend their hard-earned XP points through combat in quests to unlock a powerful set of moves and passive abilities divided into the Technique, Ranged, and Melee categories in the skill tree.

The cost of each skill differs, and powerful upgrades can be unlocked later in the game as the weapon’s level increases. In the meantime, here are some of the best skills available in the Leviathan Axe’s skill trees that players should consider unlocking as soon as possible.

Players need to lock aim at the enemy and hold up their R1 button to charge up the Axe. Once fully charged, users must execute the Vengeful Sickle move and throw it at their enemies. The Axe spins forward and hits the foe multiple times. It is a good choice to weaken bigger enemies before going for the kill.

The Glacial Rake ability costs 750 XP points to unlock and is also available at weapon level 1. Once unlocked, activate the skill by pressing the R1 button. Kratos will drag his Axe through the ground, throwing Ice Shards forward. This skill inflicts high frost damage on enemies, and the damage becomes more prominent if the enemies are already suffering from burning effects.
