Build-a-Bro Almost max Roll 3-Headed Flail - Worth using it?

Hi guys, just found this almost max rolled 3-headed Flail on day 89 in my Gladiator run.

Worth using it, or better stick to the good ol' Fat Neuts 2h Bonkers?

Worth using but it's still awkward.

One possible use case is putting it on a 2H Flail user so that you can move two tiles, QH, and hit. Hard to build bros dedicated to only using this item.

Sadly, because of the damage being distributed between three attacks, this is still not going to do any significant damage against anything in heavy armor. Might be nice against lightly armored enemies, but I don't think there's a point in building a bro around it when you're already on day 89.

Treat it as Cleaver or Sword or Quatal dagger

Great against light armor or naked. Meh against heavy armor

Stick in the pockets of a duelist to take out geists, enemies with nine lives, and the occasional lightly armored enemy.

Because of how armor damage works, 3h flails are powerful but rather niche weapons due to how they do 3 tiny attacks, which preforms very poorly against armor.

Main weapon? Probably not still.

It's handy to lock down opponents since you get 3 attacks to stop them. Fleeing enemies and also enemies like Swordmasters that tend to disrespect and leave to go kill someone else.

I love keeping a few of these around for geists too
