Favourite Weapons?
Hey people. Just wanted an idea on what everyone else likes, as it might help me find some new favourites. That, and I'm curious. One of mine is the Lightning Sword, though it looks ridiculous. Curved Sword and Halberd seem to be as popular as always.

Aside from the Curved Sword (thing's just keeps getting more and more badass), I'm big into the Podao (because Xiahou Dun is my man), the Pike (fire orbs FTW) and the Double Voulge (fun!)

Chen Gong's Imperial Edict Scroll realy shines out here. You get more chances yo use the special ability to control others in DW8:E than in DW8:XL because cooperation is an element of the game. It's very useful in defense and combined marches.

Crescent Blade - You can keep your flimsy halberd, Crescent Blade is more reliable for me. Musou is better, range is pretty wide and easier to buff with.

Pike is OP

My favorite for the moment is the Short Rod. All of the C attacks (except C1/C2) are grabs so it's really fun to use. Usually, I use this and the Jiang Wei's weapon (Double-edge trident).

I have to admit that Short Rods are not the best weapons for crowd clearing so the Double-edge trident, which is also a Shadow Sprint weapon – with a musou setup for the 6 stars/dots one – is a perfect match for this, notably for it's C6 move with a joystick rotation.

Aside from that, the Flying Blades are still a good choice with the all around setup the 6 dots weapon has and the Spinner is absolutely OP but fun to use.

My favourite is Sun Jian's sword - 9 rings blade i think it was called.
Next would be the tonfas (Sun Ce) and the pugil sticks (Da Qiao).
though i haven't tried every weapons, i can say that my favorite is Xun Yu's formation wand because you can create a ward at any place and explode it at any time once the ward connected to each other (need 3 at least, but you can put as many as possible to make a bigger ward) + it looks cute too on my character

Piercers (Wang Yi's new weapons) are enjoyable.

I prefer Swallow Swords (Lu Xun) and the Flame Sword (Sun Quan). Though I like the Halberd (especially because of its Air Musou and bonus when you switch to it), I don't like the idle pose on my custom characters.
