The '''bardiche''' is the largest, slowest, and most powerful polearm available. Due to their massive base damage, they perform particularly well with [[freezing]], [[speed]], or [[holy wrath]] [[brand]]s. Unfortunately, they require two hands to wield and a whopping 26 Polearms skill to attack at min delay, so many players will get better performance throughout much of the game wielding a [[glaive]] or [[demon trident]] and [[shields|shield]] instead. If you have plenty of [[experience]] to spare, you may wish to upgrade to a bardiche later in the game, particularly if you're playing a [[merfolk]] and wish to take advantage of their phenomenal Polearms aptitudes, but doing so is by no means necessary to create a character capable of winning.

A long pole with an enormous, cleaving blade on one end.
This weapon falls into the 'Polearms' category. It is a two handed weapon.

The bardiche is the largest, slowest, and most powerful polearm available. Unfortunately, they are rare weapons, require two hands to wield, and a whopping 24 Polearms skill to reach minimum delay.

As a chopping weapon, it'll cut off hydra heads. It is also too large for kobolds and spriggans to use at all.

Strategy

Other than Trog and Okawaru gifts, bardiches can occasionally be found in the Hall of Blades, or in the Pandemonium (from demonspawn opponents).
