I agree the weapon is pretty much uber-powered stuff, but the extra 1/2 attack doesn't even show in Viccy's abilities screen
(You'd say it is there no matter what?)
But the point is, Pitchwife's a +5 weapon you can assemble in chapter 2.
Fulcrum, with all of his might, comes no sooner than chapter 6... when you have the likes of the Crom Fayer available!
Sorry, can't wait so much. I'd rather go for "the egg today" 100% of the times
