Panchaku kinda OP, makes normal pan irrelevent

That is all

Was the Vorpan ever relevant? I only ever used it because there wasn't a lot of things to use back when I was new, so I'd hold on to it long enough to find something better to use

Also, I hope the wiki is wrong or deceptive about how much damage the Panchaku deal, because if my calculations are correct and the wiki's critical hit numbers are right, it has a measly 205 critical DPS and one of the worst base DPS scores in the game

You underesteimate the power of the sheer reach of panchaku

Now is probably a good time to admit that I haven't even booted the game for a few weeks, so I wouldn't know whether it actually works out in practice...

but if I wanted reach, wouldn't I get both that and much higher DPS with several of the crossbows? Not that the Heavy and Repeater Crossbow are exactly the most balanced weapons in the game

Yes (mostly) and no (in some cases). My problem with crossbows that they don't work in certain situations, and for those situations, you don't have a second weapon as the crossbow takes both slots. The Panchaku doesn't have this handicap.

Also, the Vorpan may not be your #1 choice for efficiency, but for fun factor, it's right up there. I did a few half-runs with it - dropped it after a few biomes, true, but until that, it was hilarious.
