Exanima Slowest Weapon in the game: Maul (Challenge Run) hack n slash

I beat both novice and expert arena with just the maul/sledgehammer. The advantages: Extremely high damage spike, armor piercing damage. Causes a lot of red damage and blood to spray out. Does damage on contact, even low velocity hits take hitpoints off. Seems to break some weaker blocks, or at least leak damage through some bad blocks. -Best overhead strike in the game. -Knocks enemies down regularly. Cons: Slow attack speed. Easily blocked. Fast weapons are a nightmare. Slow Block speed. Totally helpless against stabs, semi-useful against swings. Awful recovery time, so slow that often enemies can recover from being hit faster than you can swing a second time. Crappy leg sweep, slow and too low, hard to connect. -Awful against shields, has no shield-breaking ability. Can leak damage through a shield but swings too slow to actually make use of this property. -Bad thrust, only good for taking off the last 5% of health, nothing more.
