This is a mighty fine weapon, swapped from my Queenslayer Greatsword to this when I entered my own memory and it really packs a punch, it is almost easy mode at this level since it all but stuns them so you can easily chain light attacks together and decimate even the big enemies with a few hits, the light attack is great for crowd control too. The scaling seems very middling/low though, so I am guessing it will be surpassed by something else... Juggernaut Sledgehammer perhaps?

This weapon strongly reminds me of the Boost Hammer from God Eater. Both in appearance and the way the attacks work, particularly the heavy attacks.
