Unique/Odd Weapon Combos

[Vulture]

What are some of your bizarre gems that somehow get the job done?

Mine is the Tyrant Killer Blade + Blind Swordsman Hilt. Strong attack becomes a parry button, crits galore, absurdly fast attack rate.

I am trying to find fun things to do with the shovel.

so yeah. trash. because compared to, say the puppet ripper (and pretty much every weapon in its standard form) its trash.

Good for you. I'm not looking for the absolute highest numbers, at least not right now. I'm having fun with this combo and that's all that matters.

EDIT: Also, would like to see your stats and if you've altered the weapon's scaling. I very much doubt that at level 69 (where I am right now) Puppet Ripper deals that much damage.

pft. ive been sitting above level 300 since like the 3rd or 4th boss. because i have a brain, and took a little time to grind.

Ah, I see. Shame on me for not realizing this is a textbook example of a bait.

I dunno if it's unique, but I'm using the pipe/wrench head with the police baton handle. It's a really amazing combination. It's powerful for regular combat and staggers/breaks enemies pretty fast. The weapon's far too fast for how powerful it is. And there is a lot of damage reduction from blocking, like 73 I think compared to the usual 50 most weapons have. So most of the time it doesn't even matter if you parry since you'll get your health back anyway.

And to top it all off there's the baton's special that you can use to power up your next move... and then you can spend up to 3 charges for the head's fable attack and deal up to 2500 damage. You have superarmor while charging that move and it charges pretty quickly, so only a really heavy attack can knock you out of it. It's amazing to use on a boss right after you nail them with a fatal attack. It costs 4 pulse charges to use optimally, but you can also opt to just use the power up and then a quick attack. You'll still get an easy 1000+ damage even uncharged, so for the cost of 2.

Downside of this combination is the range I guess. The Fable attack's range is fine, but the regular attacks won't really hit enemies until you're pretty much right in their faces. The running attacks are also really good though. I think it's a minor downside for a weapon combination that's pretty much overpowered, IMO.

in my experience, most weapon combinations are absolutely terrible. in almost every single case it results in lower damage than either weapon would have had, and a worse moveset that either attacks much slower, or deals much less damage for about the same attack speed. just like the handles, its a pointless feature intended to make the game look complex and open ended in regards to options. in reality, you go a quality build because it always deals the most damage, and use the base weapons because nearly every combination is unquestionably worthless.

If you are saying this, you don't get the system at all and you are straight up wrong. Hell bonecutter plus police handle is enough to say that on it's own. Or bonecutter+glaive, and so on.

There is so many dam good combos.

Bone-Cutting blade + Krat police baton handle works well together and it does not reduce your damage output due to incompatible attack types (both parts in this case are proficient at slashing and the move set is slashing only).
If you try to combine blade and handle with incompatible attack patterns, your damage will be reduced for one of the patterns, ie. slash or stab. If you take rapier's handle and mount Bone-cutting blade on it, your damage will be low because your move set will be stabs but the blade is proficient at slashing.

Tyrant Murderer's Dagger Blade + Pistol Rock Drill Handle.

You get a cool moveset and a nice pokey pokey drill to just run through grouped mobs.
Definitely had the most fun with this combo.

Big Pipe Wrench head + Krat Baton police handle, arguably the strongest weapon in the entirety of the game including boss weapons due to its fable art combination doing 7-8k a hit with proper buffs and is repeatable.

Bone Cutting Saw Blade + Dancers curved sword handle
Has the speed and mobility of dancers curved sword moveset, with significantly higher damage due to the sawblade.

Bone Cutting Saw blade + bramble curved sword handle
Similar principal as above, gives better reach and damage to an otherwise good moveset where the base weapon lacks the reach and damage to make it phenomenal

Electrical Circular Chainsaw + acidic crystal handle
Maintains the massive shock damage output and stagger of chainsaw while making it way faster and easier to stack its passive

If you wanna claim that generally boss weapons are better than most random weapon combinations, that's fine, but there are tons of weapon combinations that compete with the top tier boss weapons like puppet ripper trident of the covenant ouroborous eye etc
