The Hilt of Gram is recommended for the early game due to its burst of rage and stun damage, which can interrupt enemies and bosses. Many other Relics and Hilts inflict direct damage, such as the Hilt of Ridill (shock) or Hilt of Dainsleif (poison). Some, like the Hilt of Forsbrandr, offer defensive abilities.
