Favorite Weapon?

[cobra]

Which weapon out of any used in Wesnoth, would you want to use in battle?

Mine would be, a battle axe, or spear.

[The1exile]

Fireball. 'Nuff said.

[ElvenKing]

Oh, do I have to use a weapon from Wesnoth? I was wanting to use Vera or Mr Pointy. Oh, well I guess I'll just have to go with lightbeam then.

[Pentarctagon]

my favorite would be the elf shaman's slows attack, but if that's not an option, then poison knives.

[Turuk]

Runesmith's banhammer.

[thespaceinvader]

Dwarf fighter portrait's Axehammer thing.

EDIT: yeah, clearly I'm not going on utility here, more rule of cool on the weapons i've personally designed. For utility, I think i'd take a Spectre's baneblade.

[TheGreatRings]

Probably depends partly on who I was fighting. Probably a crossbow, given range, comparative ease for an un-trained, unfit person like me to use, and of course, a higher rate of fire than the dwarvish guns (at least in game). A long bow would be better, if I had the strength and training to use it.

For melee weapons, a spear or pike. Nice long reach, simple to use. Just point and jab.

No swords, those require skill.

True, but spear and pikes require a great deal of training to be used effectively with others (where their strength comes from), and on it's own a spear or pike in the hands of an unskilled user is probably a liability. More likely to hit someone with a sword.

[TheGreatRings]

Actually, I'd probably go for magic of some kind if I could use it. These are the Wesnoth weapons I would choose if I had to use one to defend myself in real life.

[Urs]

Some sort of Cold/Arcane tempest attack followed by a quick poke with a Plague Staff.

Made me lol for some reason.

Well, I'm thinking of an old Japanese proverb here; "one hundred hours of spear, a thousiand hours of bow, and ten thousiand hours of sword."

So yeah, I guess spear it is…

Not claiming that the sword might not require more complex training, but think of it this way. If you have not been trained with a spear, and someone is coming at you, you have once chance to get a thrust in before he's inside your reach... then you're done.

Not in Wesnoth, you have 33+ hp, don't you? You can survive five hits, can't you...
