Heavy blades appreciation

Hi guys, so far I've been using swords with poison damage and occasionally spears with fire damage. Today I just thought to make a heavy blade build as I had specific good gears for them in my inventory. Ngl I'm really surprised by seeing their power! Just one swing is enough to send three enemies to Hades! I'm playing on Nightmare with a full crit build. I feel like an unstoppable beast with an axe in hand. Their slowness is totally compensated with the aoe attack and timely parry! Not to mention how hilarious overpower attack the do lol. I just killed 81 soldiers in a conquest but with sword I think the highest kill would be below 75. Just thinking how deadly they can be in addition with an elemental damage! Absolutely loving heavy blades. Chaire!
