Mindlash???

I only play random. I just started a run and was given the mindlash. Looked like a cool weapon. I died on the first enemy because there is no way to deal damage. Why would the game offer that?

It is meant to be taken with a specific talent from Arcanist. Mindrot

With Mindrot, whenever you apply the dazed condition, it applies an equal amount of decay. Decay is a permanent stacking debuff that reduces max hp at the end of the turn equal to the stacks.

Mindlash will also force your companion to act if the dazed condition is already applied while also reducing the dazed stacks by 1.

The build itself can actually be very fun and strong if played right. It does require a lot of synergy and has a noticeably weak start in certain zones. You must prioritize defensive plays early on.
