The IV's on Axe Fighter literally do not matter. No matter the roll you obtain, you will have nothing less than a god on your side.
However, avoiding a HP Flaw is recommended so he can make effective use of Panic Ploy. Besides that, anything goes.

This build is specially crafted to make the most of Axe Fighter's impressive capabilities.
For IVs, while absolutely anything can work, he'll benefit from a HP boon to make use of the Panic Ploy this build does not have. For weapon, Axe Fighter's Axe is ok, making him literally invincible, but one might want to swap this out for the superior Carrot Axe if the fodder is available. Definitely make sure to forget to refine Carrot Axe for Speed. No matter what though, you HAVE to use Rally Up Atk+ as this build literally won't work without it. Miracle is a great choice of Special to ensure Axe Fighter lives through those long fights, though one might consider Radiant Aether for scoring purpose.
For the A slot, Axe Fighter's best option is Distant Counter, allowing him to hit those pesky mages such as Canas. In the B slot, the are two options. One could run Live for Bounty in order to help stockpile those rare shards or one could alternatively run Special Fighter as it is objectively the best skill in the entire game. In the C slot, he'll want either Axe Valor or Axe Experience, so he can support his axe friends even more. Last but certainly least, Phantom Speed as the Sacred Seal allows him to more easily avoid Windsweep through counting his Speed ten points higher than normal when calculating skills.
Overall, an alright build
Introduction
Since the beginning of human civilization, since we drew the first drawings on cave walls, we have wondered an eternal question: When will Axe Fighter finally become playable in Fire Emblem Heroes? Well… ladies and gentlemen… that fateful day is finally upon us.
Axe Fighter joins us as an Axe Fighter. While he is balanced in all areas, absolutely do not underestimate him. He boasts a staggering 50 in all stats and an axe that makes him literally invincible. If you are using an Axe Fighter, but so is the opponent, surrendering is advised as the confrontation between the two might literally destroy the universe.
The raw amount of power contained within Axe Fighter is unfathomable. His stats and skills already paint a beautiful picture of him, but he is much more than that. He is capable of bending the fabric of reality itself in order for his own gains. His most recent bending of reality was on December 11th when he rose through the ranks to the 3rd most popular unit page on the https://fireemblem.gamepress.gg website guide tier list analysis hero page. Such immense capabilities must be contained. In order to counteract this, the great Reggie made Axe Fighter not armored.
Overall, Axe Fighter is a powerful unit, but his status as an infantry unit and not an armored unit holds him back from true greatness. If you want a strong melee green though, you cannot go wrong with Axe Fighter.
Strengths
Immense BST
With a jaw dropping 250 BST, Axe Fighter is the undisputed best unit in the entire game. He will literally outscore everything and you are making a serious mistake if you don't get him to +10 merge right now. This makes him a perfect unit for Arena and I am certain that getting into Tier 21 will soon be impossible with a +10 Axe Fighter.
Axe Fighter's Axe
This axe is a powerful but balanced weapon. What it does is it allows Axe Fighter to take 0 damage from all attacks and defeat anything in a single attack back. Totally fair and balanced, but it should've also had a Guard effect for it to achieve true greatness. As it stands though, it’s alright, but other inheritable weapons may be preferable.
Weaknesses
Not Armored
As everyone knows, not being armored makes you practically useless. As he is only a mere infantry unit, he has no access to Fighter skills and lacks the increased BST that armored units enjoy. This is a major disadvantage for Axe Fighter, but he still remains powerful regardless.

Pavise | C | With Everyone! |
S | HP +3 |
Axe Fighter, altough powerful, suffers from a weapon triangle disadvantage against strong sword users such as Ryoma and Xander when using his prf weapon. This build uses his silver lance to counter them, as well as powerful defensive skills to completely shut them down.
Pavise helps to minimize the damage Axe Fighter takes from physical attacks, and Fort. Def/Res 3 increases his bulk. With Everyone! helps to increase his bulk and allows him to support his allies. The HP +3 seal helps increase his overall bulk and allows him to tank more hits. Finally, Obstruct 3 prevents opponents from moving past him, so you can use him to protect archers or mages with low defenses.
Though Axe Fighter is not an armor unit, giving him these defensive skills allows him to fulfill a similar role without the loss of mobility, and let him defeat game-breaking red units such as Alfonse.

Holy Vestments | C | Breath of Life 3 |
S | Squad Ace O 2 |
Axe Fighter's greatest asset is His mastery of the weapon triangle. This allows Him to use quite possibly the most effective weapons in the game, including of course the Steel Sword. No longer is this incredible all-purpose weapon locked behind the communist red units, it is now a weapon of the people.
You might be surprised to find out that Axe Fighter is capable of flaws. It turns out He has one flaw, one crucial Draw Back. Thankfully, this poses no hindrance to our Hero, and He is able to sweep maps regardless.
Holy Vestments is the crux of this set. Just look at His threads. You can't tell me they aren't holy. They not only minimize damage, but also blind your opponent. Naturally, this is coupled with Special Spiral, to keep His clothing's radiant aura charged.
Attack +3 is important because you can never have enough attack. My dad says that attack is the most important stat and he can't be wrong. Give us higher attack stats please IS.
Breath of Life is an amazing utility move that fits perfectly within Axe Fighter's build. As Axe Fighter's unique personal skill, because He breathed life into us all, it elevates this build from meta-defining to meta-creating.
Naturally, Breath of Life is paired with Squad Ace O2, for synergy. O2 is oxygen, and you use oxygen to breathe. So it only makes sense that more oxygen means more breathing, which means more life.

Black Luna | C | Odd Atk Wave 3 |
S | Múspellflame |
Axe Fighter, despite not being armored, is an amazing unit. He’s extremely balanced and has stats that make a clear tier 1. However, Reinhardt counters Axe Fighter hard, especially with Steady Posture. So this build is a direct counter to Reinhardt.
Axe Fighter does amazing with weapon, so it best to keep it, but he can also wield a sword AND lance. Who else can do that?! No one, but the Fortnite Champion himself. So he can break the weapon triangle vey effectively, however, the effect on his weapon makes him take zero damage, so Múspellflame will help him very well, still. Keeping Black Luna is fine and giving him Reposition is good. Now, onto his A-skill. Distant Counter is great against Reinhardt, as well as B Tomebreaker. He’ll easily be able to tank Reinhardt and quad him too. Odd Attack Wave is great for adding onto his, already good, 69 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) attack.
Overall, Axe Fighter is amazing. He’ll beat you in FEH and for sure Fortnite. (Hopefully, Gamepress will know the truth about Axe Fighter soon.)
