general
There are 12 different single handed weapons in the olympus shop:Single handed weapons do not have base bunusses like charisma although you could infer, that the damage value is similar to a bonus in strength.
Neglecting additional bonusses, damage is the prime stat you are looking for in a weapon for damaging glads. (Cpt. Obvious speaking.) However, the damage value of your left hand weapon is unimportant, so also weak weapons with good bonus stats have their right.
Strategy
You will get pretty decent axes from the olympus shop, but comparing them to weapons crafted from blacksmith their damage difference is striking. If you find a weapon at blacksmith that has fewer bonus stats than one found at the shop, never forget to add the damage difference to compare them.
Myth busters:
- False information on a guide has led many people to beleive that weapons with samller range of DGM crit more often then the ones with larger ranges. It is false check our article about crits.
- The best single hands weapons are the one with high damage. It is true but not if you place the weapon in the left hand of a dual-wielder. Their damage is calculated from the weapon which is placed in their right hand. Therefore for your dual-wielder could fight with a toothpeek in his left hand providing this toothpeek has good bonuses.
