About the Falling Sun
A ridiculously unwieldy weapon sometimes used by Skeletons. Requiring both dexterity and strength to use properly, they are widely known as "Suicide Blades", because they often get their users killed.In-game description
Heavy weapons hit hard in a wide arc but need a lot of strength; below the requirement they attack and block much more slowly. Source: Kenshi Wiki
