After players have completed the Dauntless Axe build outlined here, a guide for how to use it may be helpful. Primarily, Slayers should focus on maximizing the benefits provided by the perks and cells, which means dodging attacks for Evasive Fury, staggering Dauntless Behemoths for Overpower, and getting them enraged for Ragehunter.
Additionally, it is important to learn how to make the best use of Grim Onslaught in order to maximize DPS with this Dauntless Axe build. Missing a Behemoth with Grim Onslaught means having to chase after the Axe, and players will need to learn the patterns of these beasts to minimize their whiffs. So too, learning proper timing for interrupts, which can occur when a visual indicator appears on a Behemoth’s face, is key.
Combining this Dauntless Axe guide for a high damage build with a Dauntless elements chart may assist Slayers in more effective hunting. That said, players should certainly feel free to experiment and find the best Dauntless Axe builds to suit their playstyles.
