What it is good at
No single stat on the Pitchfork stands out above the rest of the melee weapons, so it has no standout strength to call out. It does inflict Daze and Force.
How it compares
Each stat is listed on its own. No weapon tops every one of them, because they measure different things, so this page does not pick a winner.
