This weapon falls into the Maces & Flails category. It is a one handed weapon.
The flail is a common, moderately powerful one-handed weapon, a step up from a mace. Although it's a little less powerful than a morningstar, it's faster and more accurate, making it a fair choice for the early game. Still, upgrading it as soon as possible is advisable.
