Tsun’s Judgement

Stormcloak champion battleaxe from Civil War Champions with a 50-point frost enchantment.

Tsun’s Judgement is the two-handed battleaxe of the Stormcloak side, added by the Civil War Champions Creation. It is named after Tsun, the Nordic god of trials, and it carries the strongest frost enchantment in the champion sets.

How to get it

It is part of the quest Battle of the Champions:

  • Stormcloak side: it is given to you before the duel, on behalf of Ulfric Stormcloak.
  • Imperial side: Klija Wolf-Claw or the Stormcloak champion uses it, and you loot it after defeating them.

Enchantment

Deals 50 points of frost damage to Health and Stamina and slows the target for 3 seconds. That combination makes enemies tired and slow, which suits a heavy axe well.

Stats and handling

27 base damage at a weight of 31 – more damage than a Daedric Battleaxe. It uses the Two-handed skill.

Smithing

Improve it with a Steel Ingot; Steel Smithing doubles the improvement.

Known issue

The axe has the warhammer keyword by mistake, so perks that check the weapon type (like the battleaxe bleed bonus) do not behave as expected. The Unofficial Patch fixes this.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strength: very high damage and a 50-point frost enchantment.
  • Strength: steel tempering.
  • Weakness: heavy, and the keyword bug affects perks without a patch.

Tips

  • Combine it with the Storm-Bear Sword as a backup one-hander for a Stormcloak loadout.
