axe, sword, mace, spear - the one handeds. Long sword (no shield) vs short axe (with shield), hard to say. If I play my gnome warrior, I’ll likely go 2H whatever. Choosing some Axe buffs (no CC choice really for Axe) leaves you seriously underwater in terms of DPS (25%+ lower DMG). The multiple handholds on a spear meant it could be used in many different ways and the power of a full-body thrust put into one had a massively damaging effect through armor, mail, padding, and bone. but if switch to swords or daggers when i want to overpower just 1 mob.

Axes are almost as good, but dangerous when wielded in untrained hands (first hand experience on this, and I wasn't even trying to kill anyone). Not choosing a CC buff, means you are at the higher range of other melee DPS, although sword/dagger/spear STILL have cc/buff which has a much higher weight to outcomes in open world/PVP and GvG. A normal hit from a sword can feel like a bolt of lightning coming from a spear. This is from a t8 Spear user perspective that also has Axe and Sword leveled. The sword raises armed combat to an entire other level. so yes spear worth it. That video also doesn't completely represent OP's battle because 1. the epee the swordsman is using is far too flimsy to represent a real sword. Restores HP at the start of each turn, effects increased with Crest of Cichol. Almost no training required, opposed to the years you'd need to fight effectively with a sword or spear. Axe, even if you’re a human. Actually, chances are the spear will get stuck within the first five hits, then the dwarf will die trying to pull it out. Strong vs Cavalry. Spears vs axes or equally priced swords. Strong vs Armored/Cavalry: Sword of the Creator: 7: 90: 0: 1-2 (1) 9 (19) E: 20: Hero's Relic. You're not going to destroy a body-and-wings blob with an axe, but with a spear, you might just destroy its brain. Spear of Assal: 14: 85: 10: 1: 9: A: 30: Sacred Weapon. If the axe was militarily superior to the sword, the sword would never have taken hold as the trained soldier's weapon of choice for the majority of our years of civilization.

I think a sword or axe would be awesome for a gnome, but a hammer just doesn’t seem my style for a gnome. But, all you really need in this game are the Shuriken and Umbrella. Which fairs better? Haven't really found a good use for the axe aside from obvious shield breaking. axe splits ap arround 1/2 strength mace splits ap around 1/6 strength Cheater-azjolnerub (Cheater) 16 April 2019 03:14 #14. sadly their weapon strength is made wrong in the game. But for goblins and beasties, yeah, axe all the way. Spear wins against axe and loses against swords, and axes are usually only good as shock troopers, they are terrible in a long fight.There is no "better", it depends on what you are fighting with what. Sword -vs- Axe -vs- Mace (-vs- Polearm?) The axe was one of the first tools, and became one of the first weapons of war, but was supplanted by the sword. still i prefer spear more fun to play than sword which i find boring. A long axe might be able to block a long sword strike, but can a long sword block a long axe strike? The spear is okay and it probably better for general combat because of the reach and the fact it only uses 1 spirit emblem vs the axes 2. also spear is more efficiency against boars and things like that, in my opinion.
