-Axes in general deal less damage than comparable options, but allow the user to cleave (hit multiple enemies). As a "simple" starting weapon, hand axes can be a good choice if you don't care about single-target fights.
+Axes in general deal less damage than comparable options, but allow the user to cleave (hit multiple enemies). As a "simple" starting weapon, hand axes are good if you don't care about single-target performance. For example, [[minotaur]]s have the power to plow through the earlygame, whether they use a hand axe or a mace.
 Hand axes are the only axe with a [[minimum delay]] of 6 aut. Hand axes, in theory, are interesting with "flat" damage brands, like [[pain brand|pain]], [[electrocution]], or [[distortion]]. However, past the early game, you'll be losing too much damage compared to a [[broad axe]] of the same brand.

-The '''hand axe''' is fairly powerful for a starting weapon, and is the only axe capable of reaching an attack speed of 6 [[aut]]s. Theoretically, this makes it an interesting option if you happen to find a hand axe of [[pain brand|pain]] or [[electrocution]], but one would be sacrificing tremendous amounts of physical damage in the process.
