Re: What Weapon Do You Prefer?

There are various chain weapons and flails that could serve a similar purpose, such as the surujin (weighted chain), kusarigama (chain sickle), Kyoketsu Shoge (bladed weapon attached to a rope), three-section staff, etc.

My implementation of the bull whip allows you to entangle arms, legs, necks and weapons, strike to the face (hitting the eyes on a critical hit), and perform a "sonic boom" next to your opponent's ear (deafening them for a short time).

If you're interested in whips, the Asian chain whip is also worth looking at. As well as being usable to strike, hook and entangle an opponent (or their weapon), it also has a dart on the end which can be used to slash or pierce - and can be coated in poison.
