It requires a lot of skill to use practically, swinging slower and even less accurately than a base bardiche. Just being a two-handed weapon works against it; many characters won't want to give up their off-hand, and [[kobold]]s and [[spriggan]]s are outright incapable of using it.

 This weapon isn't the greatest against single targets. Still, if you have ever dreamed of striking 20-ish enemies with a single swing, the lochaber axe can make that happen.
