How to break the ice

[Dirge]

Start with a clever pun

Really though, I believe you need a weapon that has 5 or more impact. 5 impact takes three swings, 6 impact takes two swings, and anything greater than 6 impact takes one swing.

Warlocks can also break ice using Hellfire, Wizards can use Fireball, and Druid's Bear Form can smash ice with its alternate crush attack.

I know morningstar does the trick, as well as 2h axes.

The morningstar has a deceptively high impact at 5. That's the reason I use it over the flanged mace tbh.

As far as axes are concerned, only the double axe can break through normally. If you're a Barb the +1 impact from the Crush perk allows the battle axe and felling axe (as well as the zweihander, club, and quarterstaff) to break it too, but without crush they only have 4 impact.
