Eyelander or Skullcutter

[Adam]

I use a shield and a sword however I still like to use my grenade launcher. I normally find myself with around 1 (obviously sometimes more and sometimes less) melee kills per life. This make me wonder if the -25 health reduction from the Eyelander is just a hinderance and doesnt benefit me as much as it could. So I was wondering which demo melee to use otherwise, I personaly like the skullcutter the most out of the other options.

then use the skullcutter.
i would say only use the eyelander if you're planning to go on a killing spree/ live a long life, since only having one or two heads doesn't really benefit you all that much.

Ok, thank you. I can always keep an eyelander if I'm in the mood for some proper demoknighting.

The Eyelander is good if you can actually get kills with it. The Skullcutter is good as a back-up melee weapon.
If you're primarily using your sword then go Eyelander. If you're primarily using your grenades go Skullcutter.

The best melee for Demoman is still the Persian though. Sadly that only really works if you're going pure Demoknight.

Eyelander. The skullcutter is usually for demos who use stickies

I have been using both a I think the skullcutter just suits me better, the 234 crit is amazing as well.

i suggest using he caber, it's too fun to use

I suggest maybe using the stock weapons meant for perfect game-play.

Skullcutter works better if you're playing defense, or as a back-up weapon for Demos who don't melee much anyway.

I find myself using the Eyelander usually (or rather it's reskin, the Headtaker) due to the benefits you can get for head collecting, but if you don't get melee kills very often anyway you should try the Skullcutter out for a while and see what happens from there.

I did, got bored very fast. Im not planning on playing competitive so I just go for fun, not balence

some demos use it, some don't. Personally, i hate the caber. Trading yourself for an enemy spy or sniper is an awful trade off.

Eyelander. Skullcutter is a cheap random crit weapon.
