This weapon falls into the Axes category. It is a one-handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.
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. As most axe-wielders prefer to use two-handed weapons, they aren't terribly popular, but they still deal enough damage to make them a viable choice throughout the game if you find a particularly nice artefact.
Like all axes, this weapon allows the player to cleave, which helps compensate somewhat for its relatively mediocre base damage and speed.
