Desirability
The lochaber axe[1] combines reaching and cleaving for an extremely impressive supercleave. However, the stipulations make it less effective than it may seem. It has no damage brand, meaning it suffers in comparison to other two-handers. It requires a lot of skill to practically use, swinging slower and even less accurately than a base bardiche. It is also a two-hander in the first place, which many characters wouldn't want to use (and kobolds / spriggans, unable to use). So outside of extremely crowded situations, it's more of a flashy weapon than a general purpose one.
History
- The lochaber axe was reintroduced in 0.29 as an unrand artefact, with the same base stats as a pre-reaching bardiche.
- In 0.4, lochaber axes were renamed into bardiches.
- This weapon was introduced in 0.1.
