Polearms

[HydroHomie]

useless or what? 17 hours in and barely any moves yet there has been plenty fists/swords/saber. Is this not meant to be a viable weapon? I was under the impression there was that freedom , but even with a lower sword skill and number of moves the sword is doing more damage. Game is truly linear in terms of progression?

I believe the beggar sect and shaolin temple give out more polearm techniques, but still haven't seen a single mighty or unique (only mighty is from Wei Huo's quest but you need high affinity and 6.9k martial points for consulting). In general mostly /swords/saber with a few more fist and hidden weapon. Probably more main story progression and side quests in those areas will open up more polearm.

I tried to attain the one from wei after the shaolin teaches him and he stomps the literal crap out of me if im using a polearm. barely breaking 200 dmg and thats with 8 cultivation skills maxed and almost 40 polearm skill.

you can probably learn most stuffs, the map is massive but yea polearm lovers are not for early game i swapped to swords for now since they give you legendary stuff

the shaolin polearm moves were pretty strong in the demo.

You can get a mighty and unique move in the liushan school for 4700 in total, you just need to give him fish and meat.

Hi HydroHomie, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It's possible that some weapons might appear to have fewer moves early on, but their potential can be unlocked as you progress further in the game.

We'll take your feedback into consideration and see if any adjustments can be made to ensure that all weapon types feel balanced.

Let us know if you have any additional questions!
