Strategy
This weapon is tied with the Bat from Hell for the highest damage bonus in the game, and has a higher base damage. Unfortunately, it is somewhat less useful for most roles, since its damage bonus only applies when pounding or when attacking from a mount, and it requires both hands thus preventing two weapon combat. Its utility depends on your play style: if you are making thorough use of riding and polearms, it is possibly the best artifact weapon in the game. If instead you are simply playing as a straightforward fighter, it is better to use as a supplement to a more traditional melee weapon.
