• Ash of War: Lion's Claw

• Helm: Haligtree Knight Helm

Best Talismans for Excutioner Greataxe Strength/Faith build

• Shard of Alexander

• Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

• Dagger Talisman

• Erdtree’s Favor

For talismans, we have the Shard of Alexander boosting our alliance claw Ash of War. The Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman boosting our physical defense and you could swap this out for a different defensive talisman depending on what you're fighting and what damage you are taking. The Dagger talisman boosting our critical hits and this is working with the Executioner's axe which already has increased critical damage. Finally, we have a utility placeholder, the Eardtrees favor+2. 

Quick Item

Flask of Wonderous Physick: 

• Lightning Shrouding Cracked Tier

• Stonebarb Cracked Tier

In the flask of wanderous physick, we have the lightning shroud and cracked tier boosting our lightning attacks and we have the stone Barb cracked tier which makes our attacks more likely to break enemy stance. 

That's the major focus of this build, breaking bosses. The Executioner's Axe has increased critical damage, further boosted by the dagger talisman, the Lion's claw does 30 stance damage to enemies and the Stonebarb tier is also boosting our stance damage for 30 seconds. So we break enemies faster and then we finish them with boosted critical. If you are using this build in a first playthrough and for a lot of New Game Plus in fact, you may find you are killing bosses before you even get a chance to perform a critical hit on them.

Combat

So Lion's Claw has carried us through the game and New Game Plus. You can trade quite comfortably with bosses by spamming Lion’s Claw and breaking their stance for your boosted critical hits. But you can also land some very nice heavy charged attacks for even more stance damage as well. You may find yourself defeating bosses too quickly to actually get a critical hit on them. So you can always try the axe talisman or claw Talisman if you want to bring in charge attacks and jump attacks and you could also look at damage negation tiers in the flask instead of the stonebarb tier to trade even more safely with Lion's claw. When it comes to Lion's claw being uninterrupted, grab attacks still get you.
