A bardiche is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack. It is a two-handed polearm that is made of iron, and appears as a long poleaxe when unidentified.

Generation

In addition to random generation, general shops and antique weapons outlets can sell bardiches.

Watchmen and soldiers may be generated with a bardiche.[1]

Strategy

The bardiche has some of the best damage among the polearms, though it is also among the heavier polearms at 120 aum. Bardiches have the highest average damage against large monsters, and their average damage against small monsters is also among the best, with only the halberd outperforming it in that regard.

History

The bardiche is introduced with all other polearms in NetHack 1.3d.
