Katana: Topper
Blunt: Heavy Jitte
Polearm: Heavy Polearm
Sabre: Foreign Sabre
Hacker: Long Cleaver
Heavy: Falling Sun
Crossbow: Eagle's Cross

All the pros of a Nodachi without as many penalties.

Yes, topper is best.

I personally would also say that the long cleaver is the best hacker. Simple due to the superior range alone.

Blunt: I'd chose between heavy jitte and spiked club.
Polearm: I personally like the heavy polearm. But the the regular polearm is pretty good too.

Long cleaver is the best hacker? Are you sure? Clearly the flesh cleaver is best, it is the best looking cleaver.

Long cleaver has a reach that rivals polearms. And reach is one of the most importent weapon attributes, especially if you like to micro your units.

You're right, generally speaking long cleaver is better.

best saber is the foreign saber. if you are using a saber at all, it should be for the defense bonus. for anything else, other than personal preference or killing spiders, other weapons classes outclass them.


polearm is probably the best polearm, simply because strength is the easier stat to train.

heavy polearm has slightly higher raw numbers, but with fewer bonuses, and is more reliant on dexterity for damage output.

Naginata Katana does more damage overall.

I used to like the long sword has a secondary weapon until the Dev's changed the stats. Now it's the spike club, not so glamorous, but it comes with armor penetration. I'm not crazy about any of the weapons at the moment, to many draw backs. I always use mk2 bow has primary, ammo is plentiful.

barely. and it comes with those nasty penalties against armor and robots. hard pass on that.

polearm and heavy polearm armor penetration bonus put them in a league above the naginata and two leagues above the naginata katana.

ugh. it pains me to see the naginata katana listed as "the best" polearm. ;-;

Heavy Polearm is better with that armor penetration.

[wordwaster]

the naginata katana was listed when i wrote that.

heavy polearm i can live with. i still say the polearm polearm is better. you have to take into account that those numbers interact with a players stats to determine damage. since strength is so easy to train, it will usually be higher than dexterity. so blunt damage is usually going to be higher than cutting damage at the same weapon stat level.

but if all stats are equal, the heavy is better, so i'm fine with it being up there.

Naginata katana is the best polearm hands down.

[wordwaster]

How? It is just a few points stronger than the heavy, doesn’t have the best bonus vs animals, and has penalties against armor and robots.
