Broad axes are the most powerful axes you can wield that allow shields, but also the slowest, requiring a significant skill investment to reach min delay. They don't do as much damage as two-handed axes, but they are still good enough to make them a viable choice throughout the game, especially if you find a nice artefact axe.
Like all axes, this weapon allows the player to cleave, which helps compensate somewhat for its relatively mediocre base damage and speed.
