Seriously underrated weapon. It gets over 450 AR, is really fast for an axe, stunlocks everything, has horizontal and vertical attacks and has absurd motion values for R2 attacks which boosts it's damage even further.

Is there any reason to not lighting infuse this other than no scaling?

Solid quality weapon. Roughly 460 ar with very powerful r2 attacks. Ignore everyone saying it's early game only

There appears to be an anomaly with the damage multiplier for the two-handed heavy attack. It hits much harder than the Bastard Sword two-handed heavy attack even though it has lower attack rating. Something worth noting.

is this a bad option for an enchanted infusion? I see it has a C scaling, while most other weapons have a B or an A scaling

I know there's probably better options but this is an underrated gem it got me through my SL1 build

Great starting weapon for early areas but later there are much better toys.

Butcher's knife is better in all ways except stat requirement if you're going to have 24+ strength go for that instead
