A weapon with the Unbalanced trait.
Unbalanced is a trait given to certain heavy, Two-handed weapons and Polearms in Warband, which causes a brief delay when switching to defense once an attack has been started and also when it is finished.
This results in feinting being more difficult and less reliable, and cancelling an attack to block is also affected. Unbalanced weapons are not recommended for dueling.
Most unbalanced weapons have traits such as Can crush through blocks and Bonus against shields which make them effective in crowded scenarios such as sieges.
