The flamberge is a large sword that requires two hands to wield. Its most notable feature is the wavy, flame-like shape of its blade.

While two-handed weapons resemble weapons belonging to other groups, they vary in size and weight, and generally hit a great deal harder and do more damage than one-handed edged and blunt weapons.
