Can be anything from any source, movies, books, comics, video games, manga, anime etc.
Pic related is mine, the dragonslayer from berserk. I like it because it’s simple. It’s just a big fucking sword, no fancy bells and whistles like enchantments or spells.
Second runner-up is sting from lord of the rings, I like that it glows blue when orcs are around and it can be used in the dark as a light source.
I think maces need more love. All the movie and game heroes use swords but a mace would fuck somebody up. Maybe a flail if we want to get fancy.
Maces generally were used against armored opponents in medieval warfare afaik, but yeah a flail could break bones or knock someone unconscious or outright kill them with enough force to the head.
It’s a club on steroids. A primitive and brutish weapon but undeniably effective. It’s like the scientific answer to the cave man “me hit hard” question.
I feel like maces and flails are usually villain’s weapons when they show up.
Bash and smash is the villain way but its effective
Yes. The mace and the lariat used to be the most iconic weapons.
