Base damage is roughly 10, accounting for the speed brand, and the min delay is 4; this makes it well superior to an unbranded quick blade, and in terms of raw damage output superior to an unbranded demon whip, although the demon whip will do better against armoured targets. Despite its description, it's not actually a [[Weapon#Race variants|dwarven]] weapon, so [[deep dwarves]] do not receive any racial bonuses.

It does damage on par with a demon whip: quite adequate for the endgame, while letting you use a shield and giving you some extra MR. Whether or not you prefer this to the greater damage of a two-handed weapon is dependent on your character, style, and situation.

Desirability

With a base damage of 13 and a min delay of 0.467 once you account for the speed brand, Arga[1] isn't capable of the raw brutality of bigger axes, but does attack marvelously fast and doesn't restrict you from using shields. The magic resistance boost is minor, but welcome. Couple it with some solid slaying sources and this cleaving weapon can be extremely effective throughout the game.
