Am using a bronze ax atm but i want to try the sword. My friend uses it and loves it. It's a little faster and has a secondary attack.

I have limited xp with the 2h weapons. I tried them but the damage per sta cost didn't seem worth it. I ran out of sta killing one dwarf. Now... that may change if you get higher skill in them, my skill was 1-2 so results may vary.

The dagger i've only used for laughs thus far, though i've heard it does crazy damage from sneak, capable of one shotting stuff. It's fast and really cheap on sta. It kills the weaker dwarfs just fine but not sure how it'd fair against harder mobs.
On an off note. the secondary attack is a leaping stab. it's oddly satisfying to sneak up to a deer and leap out of the bushes onto it's back and one shot it. lol

Bow is great for anything outside that's not being to squirrely in it's pathing.

Aslo, this game loosely follows the D&D rules when it comes to weapon and monster types.

Skeli and blobs are weaker against blunt damage

Trolls are weaker to piercing

Dwarfs are weaker to slashing
