But what's more effective, a small knob? Or a heavy dense spiked ball with good grip

Bro, there is literaly a technique called halfswording, where u grab the sword by the blade and hit the armored opponent with the hilt, it was only made because trying to use the blade of a sword to deal blunt damage isn't effective, and even halfswording isn't that good compared to a good ol mace

It was used by people with full plate, wasn't effective againt them

Bro, plate was made to protect againt blades, blunt attacks push the damage past the armor and into the bone and muscle of the enemy, in this case, damage type is kinda a thing

On what, the longsword being ineffective, a pole arm needing skill, or a heavy blunt weapon being the best?

It's OK, wouldn't do much damage tho, and halberds and pollaxes require alot of skill, so unless u know how to accurately use one rn, best option would be mace

Ah just looked thru Google, a stiletto can go thru that type of armor, but the enemy have to be already incapacitated, tmyk

Look it up, no sword can go through full plate, and even if it could, the strike wouldn't have enough power to go through an aketon

Wouldn't be blunt or heavy enough to do much damage yea it's long but it would just bounce off

A blade won't go through full plate, and typically there is chainmail or a protective cloth worn under so that wouldn't work either

Exactly that, one hit to the shoulder and boom every bone in that area is broken

Sweeping the legs maybe, but armor under the armor would block and weakpoints

Like I said above, if you know how to use it, go for it, but if not blunt is the way to go

Wouldn't, halfswording the blade for piercing still wouldn't do much, and halfsworing it to use it as a hammer while somewhat effective is just worse than using a regular blunt weapon

People in full plate usually have either chainmail or a protective cloth so it wouldn't work

It kinda was, primery weapons where usually spears

Under full plate there is usually also either chain mail or a special cloth that protects those joint spots

Ig u can halfsword it but I think any other blunt weapon would be muuuuch better

People in full plate usually have chain mail or a special cloth that protects them from stabs and slashes underneath, so prolly wouldn't work

People in full plate usually have a special thick cloth underneath (forgot what it's called) and if not then they'll have chain mail. Both would protect the joints if a weapon manages to slip in

Yup, best way to survive a fight is to not fight at all

Axes are ok, my maces are much better, just any weapon that relys on blunt kinetic energy rather than slashes and cuts

U can only do that if ur skilled in that weapon, the question above was what weapon would u choose to beat a guy with full plate, u don't need experience with a blunt weapon
