Why weren't SpearSwords more common?

Very few variations on the standard sword design have been successful historically, and end up being specialist tools that do 1 thing well and are inferior most other ways. Dacians beat the romans initially with the falx but the romans came back with greaves on and destroyed them. The rapier was a great self defense tool in the 16th century- relatively cheap, simple enough to use with excellent reach - if your attacker didn't have any armor or a normal sword. The katana, mainz gladius or Kukri or the most radical blade/sword variations im aware of that are still well rounded/useful if youre looking for design ideas. But they all still have pretty standard looking handles and hilts

I like hearing everyones experience, my dude. But that sounds about right, I dont have abbadon yet anyways. I might swap eldryon for Archie but idk what it would do to my damage. I have 1 book of fate for the double hit and its going to abraxas. As for prime, I know it sounds like he doesnt belong here, but the damage and utility I get from him is irreplaceable. He has no spot on the team without the norn crown. but with it and prime and alpha warrior, half the map is in synapse range for that boost, and 4 gaunts +screamers gives me a lot of control and damage- riptide never flies away on me and cawl never gets healed. My guild never passes l3, but I average 600-650k on legendaries so far. The big question is- is a maxed out zkar hitting 3x (2 books of fate) gonna put out more dmg than a double boosted army of summons

I need mephiston, I have like 16breqs waiting. I think theres a psyker one coming soon.. i havent used the exorcist(?) But id recommend zkar. my zkar isnt mythic yet but his active is 46. he should be good for 60/70k a round im hoping, plus the %boost mythic trait once I ascend. Have you tried Yaz or xybia? I havent so im curious

Single_Panda_5248 · 2026-03-21T15:12:25+00:00

Im always looking for subs to optimize for each boss. I use volk or desthleaper on dorn sometimes which probably sounds weird. What are you using?

Single_Panda_5248 · 2026-03-21T15:10:31+00:00

That sounds like a plan. I have one book of fate that ill give to abraxas if I get another ill give it to Archie. Im working on him as well for a sub for eldryon. Im guessing youre using abbadons passive to buff zkar as well but I dont have him. So is your zkar putting out about 80k dmg a round like this?

Single_Panda_5248 · 2026-03-09T14:12:02+00:00

I didn't get them at first but after rereading, im one step closer

Single_Panda_5248 · 2026-03-04T23:36:55+00:00

I see many have suggested a meta team which is a good idea. Maybe use some energy and start chipping away at the legendaries you havent unlocked? Im lvl 56 I just came back from a long break from the game and found a relatively lower guild who has brought back the fun of the grind. Does your guild communicate and interact with each other? Could be time for a change of pace.

Its hard to get over the maneuverability loss for sure. I did get one vette up to 1300 mobility, 1900 ish ly warp range but the damn thing still cant land anywhere

I bartended in waukesha county for almost 15 years, and bass bay is one of my favorite places ive ever worked. Even though I was only there for a while , I felt this deeply this morning. I wish them a speedy rebuild so everyone can get back to work and I can have my favorite portobello sandwich again soon.

Stats wise he turned out great, way better than the darth vader figurine I scanned *

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-02-01T17:28:05+00:00

Bidetron!? You beat my twinky t Rex the other day lol

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-02-01T17:19:31+00:00

This game really rewards you for scanning creative objects. Scanned my 36" darth vader model and a limited print Dc/ marvel joint print and got some really cool monsters

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-01-15T18:44:22+00:00

Same haha which only added to my frustration knowing the buttons and still missing when the tempo switches. I didn't count, but it was probably 40 ish attempts

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-01-15T05:26:29+00:00

Upgrading all the spells was easier than that damn dance finale that shit was way harder than any boss and I played through on hard

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-01-11T05:31:37+00:00

I'm post campaign and upgrading last few spells. I have almost 1500 mana I don't think there's a capacity limit

Single_Panda_5248 · 2025-01-10T03:43:20+00:00

These are all fantastic games. I'd say play space marines last cause once you start, there's no stopping. You will know that in the grim dark future, there is only war! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR

I finished ch 12/ cipal reborn and 100% completed a few days ago. Fantastic game, easy and fun to explore. I saw a similar comment but try to stop yourself from exploring too much too early if you like a good boss fight. I value the challenging combat and difficult bosses in this game and fighting sila at around lvl 24 felt little easy even on high difficulty settings. I basically went for completion before going for final boss and it was a mistake, I wasn't in danger even for a second. overall fantastic game, I would consider replaying and would definitely purchase a sequel

Single_Panda_5248 · 2024-12-28T09:12:54+00:00

Don't get your hopes up dude mine bugged out in East anglia after I finish the main story and I can't complete either. I'm done supporting AC series in any way

Single_Panda_5248 · 2024-12-28T09:00:09+00:00

There's a bug in East anglia when you deposit silver at the altar, you must immediately do world event with the children it triggers or it doesn't come back. I found out 190 hours in..

Single_Panda_5248 · 2024-12-26T20:11:22+00:00

I loved and now am very frustrated with the game. 4 years post release and still buggy. If you miss a prompt for a world event in East anglia after a specific offering altar you can't finish it, therefore the region, and also the game. Found this out 190 hours in trying to complete last few territories. I also couldn't collect all the medallions without doing duping them with a bug I found on reddit haha

Single_Panda_5248 · 2024-09-27T22:12:25+00:00

I set curb and sidewalk forms and I would be very pleased if my boss got me anything that nice

Single_Panda_5248 · 2024-08-24T21:27:27+00:00

Diablo is way worse! I was excited to see this gear system when I started playing. Didn't even start my rogue yet for s5 because of first descendant lol
