The Battlebranch is a normal unique Poleaxe found in Diablo 2 Resurrected. The Battlebranch has a Light Blue tint.

Two versions of this item exist. The updated one only drops on Ladder with Reign of the Warlock in Season 15; on Diablo II: Resurrected the original still drops, with its old stats. See everything that is Ladder-only in Season 15.

The Battlebranch reaches 30 to 66 damage with 30% Increased Attack Speed on a Poleaxe, a base already in the fast polearm class, plus 7% Life Stolen Per Hit and up to +100 to Attack Rating. That combination at required level 17 makes it one of the better weapons to hand a Desert Mercenary through Normal, since the mercenary keeps itself alive on the leech and the attack rating stops it missing.
