I would say the BL is pretty unique. The regular form has a pretty decent move set, maybe like the tonitrus or 1h axe, nothing surprising there. But the tricked form has so many neat mechanics. When going to tricked form for example, you stab yourself with it to transform, which takes a section of your health. But when used in a combo, you turn around and stab the enemy through yourself, using their blood instead of yours so that you lose only a tiny sliver of health on transform. Its pretty wild. It has surprisingly good dodge attacks too, it attacks really quickly for a larger weapon and has a long reach similar to the axe.
