Mechanic
Despite the title "Raider Axe," this weapon is considered a Sword. As such, all sword enchantments can be applied to it, while axe/tool-exclusive enchantments, such as Efficiency and Silk Touch, cannot be added to it. However, you can still break wood and get the block using the axe.

The weapon also grants per kill if the mob is level 10 or higher, which can become an efficient money-making method. By the time this sword is maxed, it would've generated at least just from kills.

After being maxed, this weapon is most comparable to the Leaping Sword. The former has better stats but lacks the  bonus; therefore, it is still weaker in comparison. However, the Raider Axe is much easier to obtain compared than the Leaping Sword, making it an appealing mid-game option for players who still do not own a Leaping Sword, and it is usually recommended over the latter.

Interestingly, Unstable Dragon Armor's full set bonus (which summons lightning to deal damage to mobs) does count as a kill on the Raider Axe if the axe is being held during the lightning strike.
