Sturdy Thick Stick is a heavy two-handed weapon, and Link swings it slower than one-handed melee weapons or strikes delivered with a two-handed spear. While you should be wary of your defenses with slower attacks and the inability to use a shield, the Sturdy Thick Stick will typically deal greater damage per hit than the average one-handed melee weapon.

Since the Sturdy Thick Stick is a wooden weapon, the weapon won't attract or amplify environmental lightning and incoming lightning attacks, unlike metal shields, armor, and weapons. However, wooden weapons like the Sturdy Thick Stick are flammable and burn easy when subjected to fire.

Sturdy Thick Stick can be upgraded to increase overall attack power:

• Attack Up Level 1: 11 - 13
• Attack Up Level 2: 14 - 18

It also has a Guard Break Power of 6 and a range of 1.8. This weapon deals Blunt damage upon impact with an enemy or object. Cut damage can specifically bisect many environmental objects while Blunt damage shatters structures such as cracked rock.

This weapon can alter the state of your shield when fused with it. Fusing the Sturdy Thick Stick to a shield will grant more shield surfing friction and enable a shield bash attack.

Large Swords tend to have additional fusing properties when joined with other items. The Sturdy Thick Stick will have an expanded hitbox when fused with other items. This offers Link an increased chance in delivering critical strikes on enemies.
