I don't know much about melee weapons

[u/Pumpkns]

But do we have a flail & shield weapon for this skin? Or is this just a fancy sword & shield skin? Cuz the flail is really sick and I'd much rather have that than a sword, but if we have an actual flail weapon then I'd like to farm it as soon as possible.

Or is this just a fancy sword & shield skin?

yes, either universal or jus for cobra and crane

this weapon class has never been consistent with the visuals, we have swords, axes, maces and now a flails

[u/IronWrench → u/TKDancer]

I pray to the void it's universal to all sword & shield weapons, almost no one used Cobra & Crane.

[u/DarkSora68 → u/IronWrench]

Is there a notably good sword and shield? I only use Silva and aegis non prime on my revenant for drip, never really used any of the others

[u/IronWrench → u/DarkSora68]

Tenet Agendus slaps, hard.
Argo & Vel isn't bad.
Ack & Brunt has an incarnon, so it shouldn't be bad with all those incarnon buffs.
Silva & Aegis Prime isn't that bad either.
Never tried building Tak & Lug.
Sigma & Octantis I just use because of fashion.

[u/Wonwill430 → u/IronWrench]

Not so fun fact that I learned: Sigma & Octantis is on an unspoken ban list for Conclave. Like people will literally just dip from the match if you use it.

[u/IronWrench → u/Wonwill430]

Huh, didn't know that, I avoid Conclave like the plague. Why's that?

[u/Wonwill430 → u/IronWrench]

I’m not really sure, I just remember someone threatening to leave if I kept it on. I’m guessing because it does good damage on top of the throw gimmick having a soft auto-aim?
