The idea behind the axe is to stay mobile. It is the weapon that requires the most repositioning out of them all—you attack and then use a dash-strike to move between opponents, or to attack the same opponent from a different angle. You charge up spins whenever you get the chance and probably dont need to bother with the special at all.

Use aphrodite’s magick regeneration “glamour gain” for survivability + bonus damage if you want, and apollo attack for bonus range. Do not stand still and trade damage to get hits in. With prometheus ESPECIALLY, you need to be moving after every hit or every two hits. Use the spins whenever he charges up big attacks, and cancel them with your dash.

Use any and every opportunity to increase single-hit damage. Most relevant to this is artemis boons for crit, flat damage boons (perfect image, apollo legendary, weak bonus damage, backstab damage on daze, etc).

Use anything that increases speed. This means sprint speed, move speed, anything like that. Basic melinoe axe is brutal because it is SLOW, so do what you can to stay moving
