Favorite Weapon Pair

[puzzlefox]

What’s your favorite weapon pair?

Mine is sword and axe. Imo it really is the perfect setup. Sword has parry and lai for single target while axe has mad spinner and titanic strength for multiple foes and has break and ki dmg for days.

Odachi only. No need other weapon. I don't care if it is over or underpowered (but I guess it is underpowered compared to fast, high dps weapon types in game) - it is just most fun weapon to play for me. Odachi all day all night.

^odachi with high guard break

Odachi and whatever other weapon you need to hold in the second slot for set bonus.

Just trusty tonfa gunsticks, has imo the most satisfying grapple/sneak attacks and the sound effects with each hit is great and fire a pointblank explosion with tonfa gun effect is just icing on the cake

Odachi and Spear

Yeah Odachi is pretty fun. It’s skills that are usable in LW make it pretty dang strong too. Since I use kigetsu set, I have two kigetsu Odachis, one with moonlit snow dmg bonus and one with ground quake bonus. MS in LW is just obnoxiously powerful and LW griundquake is slightly less strong but let’s you keep your mobility.

But for the heavy weapons axe wins for me cause landing a fully charged lumber chop on a boss is the best feeling ever. Titanic strength is a beast in LW and is really good against LW humans cause it annihilates their ki, the skill where you rush with your guard up is perfect for enemies like those pesky dogs, and mad spinner is amazing against mobs.

I agree except pair them with a Katana.

odachi is ftw, but i also like katana, and spear looks fun.. too, and the spinning weapon

[Deostades]

Spear + Sword or Spear + Odachi are pretty great. Cover each other well enough, and I'm enough of a Spear-fiend that it's only recently I've really gone back to other weapons :)

The worst combo I can think of is Axe + Kusari-gama. Just seems like there's a lot of gaps in range of opponents they're specialized for.

I’d run axe+kusa ;)

Kusa+anything would work fine since kusa is stupidly strong. The worst pair I can think of is tonfa+dual swords. They’re just too similar and other than parry, there’s nothing that duals can do that Tonfas can’t do better.

But axe is really good too. Axe is so under-appreciated :(

Shrike+Cross?

I said other than parry ;)
Tonfas have a parry too but it’s not as good. But the tonfa parry can get a dmg bonus as a weapon trait though. I haven’t ever tested it but I’m assuming it’s not great.

Tonfas have devastating rush that charges just as fast, does just as much dmg, and sends the enemy tumbling.
