Trivia[]

Skaði's Edge seems to be based on the "Hunter-Killer" skill tree for the Leviathan Axe, in God of War (2018), except as a Runic Attack, it has lock-on functionality more similar to Dead Eye Targeting from the Red Dead series.
- "Hunter-Killer" allowed Kratos to mark targets on enemy bodies while aiming with and holding , with the axe then hitting those targets on release.
- Similarly, Týr's Revenge, a Runic Attack from the previous game, now replaces "Hunter-Killer" as the -hold throw for the Axe (now called "Vengeful Sickle"), as though they've swapped places with each other.
