The verdict

Lucy the Axe swings faster at a 15-tick use time versus 20, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.

For crowd control, Ham Bat hits with more knockback (6.5 vs 5), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
