What is the best melee weapon for Saltzpyre?

[Ciaran Zagami]

Title says it all really.

[Tanya]

Depends on which class. WHC probably rapier, Zealot the billhook or the axe n falchion and for BH rapier.

[PhotriusPyrelus]

"Best" depends on what you like.

For a lazy sod like me, nothing beats the Flail.

Oh, you have armour? Flail don't care. Flail smash!
Oh, you have a shieldr? Flail don't care. Flail smash!

[Amber Baal]

Billhook, axe+fal (Dual wield) or rapier. All the other weapons are not worth using.

Also ignore anyone who links you a public guide they are all horrible.

I am a fan of dual wielding so A&F for my Zealot.

Fatshark should make a 'can opener' illusion for it, because its heavy attacks just destroy CWs.

[Katokevin]

It's going to vary between class and player. For me, it's different between each class. I enjoy the rapier on both WHC and BH, though sometimes I prefer the axe and falchion for BH. Zealot differs as well. The axe and falchion when low on HP (or using Holy Fervour) can TEAR through mobs and just rack up the kills. Though other times I prefer the flail to more easily stack fast THP (from Sigmar’s Herald) and ignore shields.

A lot of people also seem to like the billhook, though I don't have a lot of experiences with it so I can't say much other then to try it yourself if you can.

Flail and Greatsword are great for horde.

Any weapons are good, but flail is for beginner or people who ask this question like you.

[Danyaell]

Just ignore the "cata ez, git gud" crew, OP. XD

Have a look at some more informed answers in this thread and the aforementioned guide.

Rapier if you've got half a brain and can hit heads, Axe & Falchion if you have no brain and want to go vroom vroom, Billhook if you're inbetween

[VaeV]

Rapier. All other weapons are for heretics.

Dear guy: everyone knows how extra-exspecially-good you are at V2. You can leave the forums now. Thanks.

Billhook is probably number one for any salty career. The weapon is just extremely versatile and has ways of dealing with pretty much any situation. It takes some time to learn however.
Other good picks are rapier for whc or bh (bh only when you mainly use ranged and only use rapier as a means to get out of sticky situations). Zealot with rapier is viable but your wrist will hate you afterwords. It aint called RSI zealot for a reason. Axe and Falchion is also good. Decent mobility. Good elite damage and ok vs hordes.
Other weapons cant compete with those.

The human mind is the most dangerous weapon of all

that requires buying winds of magic, which is a straight NOPE from most people. Not worth buying for one weapon

I dunno, rapier competes just fine.
