If you're in a shield wall you're bashing dudes with your shield as much or more than your spear.

ok so a spear is basically a baby trident so it's gotta be water

i took nature to mean like, plants, and i think swords and flowers go good together

I'm glad to see people correctly picking Water Spear

Not sure why, maybe the spear fighting in video games I've seen is usually pretty fluid/flowing (excellent source, I know)

I can definitely understand poison dagger.

That whip choice is volcel-judge

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I stand by it, do your worst

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

  • Light shield to protect against the darkness
  • Poison dagger, because poison coated dagger is a classic
  • Darkness sword because it seems to be the most convenient to swing around in the dark when you don't see anything
  • Thunder whip because they have a lot of similarity, long and thin, with a crack on impact
  • Wind bow because the arrows fly through the air
  • Nature claws because they remind me of a bear's claws
  • Water spear because of Poseidon's trident
  • Earth knuckle because fist fighting is a RETVRN to traditions
  • Ice hammer for breaking the ice
  • Fire axe because why not, they are the last ones

Are we talking what kind of elemental affinity we'd assign to a weapon or what enchantment would work best with it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

whatever reasoning comes to you

like I keep going back and forth between "balrog's flaming whip" vs "whipcracks like thunder" vs "poison ivy plant manipulator"

a lot of these i'm not really that attached to but water-shield and ice-hammer seem super obvious to me

Posting my take before I wade into the struggle session

Adding reasoning:

Earth shield, obvious sturdy combo

Dark dagger, good for sneaking

Light sword, holy relic but still kinda basic

Ice axe, did this one last but it kinda still makes sense

Nature whip, pokemon vine whip need I say more

Wind bow, long shots, gusts can alter arrows trajectory

Fire claws, fast attacka make the cumulative damage add up quickly, similar to the poison knuckles reasoning

Water spear, sweeping fluid slashing and sharp, jet like stabs just fit water. Fluid yet forceful

Poison knuckles, rapid punches add up the poison damage fast

Thunder hammer, it's already a great big concussive hit, thunder just increases it

  • Poison Bow so you can hit them once then run away

  • Darkness Axe because it makes me think of the Devil Axe from Fire Emblem

  • Nature Whip because vines

  • Thunder Hammer because big impact

  • Spear of Light feels a common thing

  • Earth Shield because sturdiness

  • Wind Claws because you gotta be quick and mobile

  • Ice Knuckles pack a wallop

  • Water Dagger because the only other one left is fire and you don't want that close to you

  • Fire Sword just fits

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Poison Bow so you can hit them once then run away

I went with poison shield because you grind them down whenever they attack and you block.

Nature Whip because vines

This is exactly the same as my logic lol.
