minus-squareBlaster M@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前Well, about that, it turns out the Bat’leth may actually be a half-decent heavy weapon with lots of counterattack options…

minus-squarertxn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前It’s the “Cow Tools” of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we’ve had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat’leth.
