So what were you top 3 weapons from this list? I always pick Satan's tooth, so I'm leaving that off the list...
1) Lucille
2) Brass Knuckles
3) Shish Kebab
the greatest weapon ever : shish kebab, the enemy of the hunger !
@@abdouoftouggourttheconquer7241 Hahaha now all you need to do is add a Y in there - The enemy of Hungary :D
Shish Kebab? More like Sheeeesh Kebab! Amazing video as always, loved the edits
@@Gondawn Lol sheeeeesh my dude, go easy on the impale! :D
Thanks for watching!!
I'm using Custom Troop mod so that I can give crafted weapons to my custom troops, similar to My Little Warband mod. I guess short and fast weapons are better than long and slow ones for the AI. Any experience on that?
I really hope they take a pass at what weapons and armors are allowed in civilian settings again. Why can I take a two handed swords and a giant sledeghammer around town with me, but not a blunt tournament sword or a hatchet?
That's a fair point!
No good mace either, but a sledgehammer? Yes.
@@The_Custos It's so much fun swinging around those giant maces, especially on horseback!
Maybe you are carrying that sledgehammer to a construction site? Lol.
The sledge is great though.
Over 800 hours in the game, and 2.5 minutes into it I have already learned something. I knew you could copy / paste banners, did not know you could do that with crafted items. I'll be stealing some of these designs, thank you very much. As always, the most useful Bannerlord video content out there.
Steal away! I have them all catalogued for ease of use :)
I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful and thank you for watching!!
I did not know you could do that with Banners or Weapons.
As someone who recently got back into the game after 2 years, these videos and the discord are amazing resources! can't wait to try these builds out in my own campaigns
Thank you for the donation Stanley!! I really appreciate the support, it means a lot. I'm glad to hear the videos are helping and I'm looking forward to full release so I can deep dive into more changes :D
6:43
Never forget, that on this day in 793AD, a group of skandinavian Vikings selflessly rescued the treasures of Lindisfarne from a great fire, after the monks mysteriously and spontaneously died.
All glory to those brave men and women, risking their lives for the sake of rescueing those valueable art pieces!
And on a more humoristic note: Less talking, more raiding!
Strat, you are criminally undersubbed. The edits on this video are fantastic.
Thank you Tom!! I appreciate that :)
Thank you for always bringing us quality Bannerlord videos!
I just played the game yesterday and upon realizing trading is tedious as heck, I decided to go look into the smithing "ez money" tactic and upon realizing that there was some large changes, searched google, and lo and behold! You uploaded this video "2 hours ago" (searched this the very same night I played Bannerlord lol).
Thank you for watching! Lol nice, perfect timing :) Hopefully you can get those tier 4 parts unlocked quickly!
Fresh to the channel & loving the content. You’re very talented at it & the time you put into this video was well spent, fantastic work!
Thank you for watching!! I messed up on this one - The intro was fun but waaay too long lol I think in the future I'll post something like this a few days before the lead up to build some hype, but also not have 2 mins of fluff before getting to the info :) Thank you! I try to make the best guides that I can!
Your editing's always looked good but it just keeps getting better and better, great vid
Thank you!! I'm working hard to improve with each video :)
I appreciate how much effort you put into the into
My favorite weapon is the tier 5 glaive head on the shortest haft, with 140ish range and 160 damage, with 80+ speed and handling. You can sit on top of a siege tower and headshot every single person climbing up, or go back and forth between two close ladders. 3 focus points plus the smithing perk for +1 vigor is all you need to get 150 for the headshot perk.
Your effort on this video is admirable, such a masterpiece, straight to the point and very helpful.
Thank you!
great video man, loved the extra edits and jokes! Keep it up!
Thanks Jake!! I appreciate you watching :)
Great video, Strat. I generally play the game on foot with a mace, but it is always nice to see what other weapons one can craft. Some of them are absolutely beautiful and powerful.
Thank you for watching! Yeah it's interesting to see all the options. I tend to fall into a habit of using the same thing every time so making guides like this and running lots of tests can be helpful to broaden my horizon!
One of my favourite things to use in a siege, offensive or defensive, though if you can get some space a two hander is lethal especially if you can get behind a whole bunch of the enemy distracted fighting your troops.
LOVE the intro! The bannerlord gameplay feels like its in VR
dude thank you so much for this very informative vid i was gonna request it after game release but as usual u r a step ahead ^^
Thank you for watching! Yeah I was thinking about holding off in case they change something, but 1.8 changed a lot for smithing so I figured I would put this out anyways.
Also with the new 1.8 skill respec option, you can select the lvl 250 "Sharpened edge" perk, craft the swing weapons you want then change smithing perk to "Sharpened tip" when crafting the thrust weapons for an extra 2% damage. Sometimes that let's you focus a bit more on swing/thrust speed :)
Yeah that's a really good point! I forgot about that one :) I suggested using it before for the steelmaker perks after you unlock the parts you want, but 250 is really important too. Thanks for watching!!!
My Favorite video, mostly because of the editing. Great work Strat Gaming, i hope you continue making great content like this!
Thank you!! I really worked hard on this video so I'm happy to hear that :) I appreciate the support!!
This was the video I've been lookin for thank you
Yeah it was time to finally update the old one :D
Another great video! Thank you so much for your guides)
Thank you for watching!! I really appreciate the support. I'm happy to help :D
Extremely well made video! 👏
Your freaking videos are OP! Nice work!
My build is a max foot spear soldier. I level one handed and two handed a little for other bonuses (2h to 200 to get HP and whatnot, sometimes still use an axe for max cleave, sometimes still use a sword when fighting is too crowded). But let me have my say again. Last video i made a comment on how i love spears. I had made one with 45 thrust damage. That was it. But now, i made one with even more thrust speed, 47 t.damage, and when two handed, it tops as a swingable menavliaton with over 100 damage, to crush blocks, pretty good when storming walls to be frank.
All i used was a common shaft, manavliaton head, and a tier 4 hook. 140 length will mean fighting on foot will be quite easy and the damage output is very very fun, often 1 hitting enemies.
For your foot spear soldier, its quite a thing!
Amazing vid! Ty Strat!
Thank you so much! And thanks for helping with the algorithm :)
That editing was awesome!
Thank you! I worked hard on this one :)
amazing editing! love it! lots of work in this though... respect
Thank you! Yeah I spent a ton of time on this one, but it turned out pretty good I think :)
Dude this is like the best gaming channel lol
this is good stuff, thanks strat!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
Great intro, and thanks for new playstyle ideas with those weapons
Hey polish!! Thanks for watching as always :) I'm glad to give you some ideas - which were you most interested in? I need to do a mounted thrust campaign soon, so shish kebab and brass knuckles for me lol
@@Strat-Guides Well for me it would be only two handed swords xddd, I really loved Zweihander and I will definitely use it in my next playthrough. Maybe even in current.
@@avivio0 Noice! That's probably my favorite in terms of how it looks - it's just so epic.
Goddamn was it worth the waiting. Top tier intro and outro. About the weapons my personal favorites are brass knuckles and boom stick. Maybe shish kebab or dane axe for the 3rd spot.
Thank you!! Yeah I spent all week working on this video and I think it turned out okay :)
I'm a huge fan of attack speed for a lot of situations so I agree, brass knuckles is sooo strong!
Love the video man
Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much! This one was a labor of love haha A tough one to edit and push through, but I think the end result turned out okay :)
I never left disappointed after watching your videos. Awesome work!
I appreciate that :D
Your channel has some of the best intros. Pure gold!
I appreciate that!
My current character uses an extra long crafted lance for mounted combat (only restriction is it has to be a shaft that supports couched lance), a long bastard sword for melee and a hatchet with a shorter handle for close quarters indoor fights during sieges where the long sword gets stuck on walls, beams etc.
Thank you once more for a great video! Dropping a comment and a like for the algorithm.
By any chance, have you made an analysis video between different infantry, ranged or cavalry troops with the recent updates?
Algorithm please bless meeeeee! :D
No I have not done the unit vs unit testing yet - I'll probably do the army comp and tactics videos first but I do still have unit testing on my list!
Thanks for watching and helping with the algorithm!
Man these intros just keep getting better and better, keep it up man
Thank you! I still have a long way to go, but I'll keep learning each time :)
that might be the best game intro i have ever witnessed
Wow, the production value on this vid!!
Thank you for watching! I worked really hard on this one so I'm happy to hear that :)
I'm using the Boomstick both as a throwing weapon and awesome one-handed polearm sidearm in addition to the couch lance.
Hand and a half with a falx blade is insane, and a couchable 1h/2h long glaive head pole arm are really nice
Thanks . Funny Intro)love the game, now will keep an ear on your channel.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it :D
This video was very informative and hilarious. Best of both worlds.
Thank you! :D
incredible video mate, thanks. Also the update now fixes the max damage on foot polearm (it will keel) and made it much weaker, so sad :(
I liked the 3 weapon so much. Great video strat 👍😃
Thank you!! I tried to to make something for everyone :)
Just started a new game with a Hafþór Björnsson-sized character, and I cannot wait to try some of the two-handed axes, swords, and maces as well as the javelins featured in the video. Thanks for putting this together, Strat!
Oooh nice! A Dane axe for a mighty Dane (or was he Norwegian?! My ignorant American brain hurts just thinking about it lol)
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :D
@@Strat-Guides I think he's Icelandic? And hell yeah Dane axe incoming...! 😀
@@msj1117 Oh gotcha, the rare-breed :) I remember watching a video a few months back where they interviewed a Dane, Swede, Norwegian, Finn and Icelander and asked all sorts of questions, it was hilarious to see what they all thought about each other! I just remember these points - nobody understands what Danes are saying, Norwegians are all rich, Finns phase "i love you" sounds like a curse word and Swedes are very laid back. I'm sure it's not 100% accurate, but it was pretty funny lol
@@Strat-Guides That's fantastic, I love watching stuff like that.
@@Strat-Guides whats interesting is, i had a german trying to read norwegian once, and she sounded danish
I love your intros. They are the so much fun to watch.
I can't wait to try out all 30 of those weapons!
Thank you for watching! Which one looks the most interesting to you? I always had a preference for fast maces before, but brass knuckles is on a whole different level lol
@@Strat-Guides That is a tough choice. Recently I've been going for the biggest nastiest two-handed axe that I can find, but I might try something a bit quicker next time. I might give the brass knuckles a shot. That looks fun. I think you convinced me. Lol
@@kongvealsurvives Yeah I can't blame you, those 2H weapons are hard to give up. The brass knuckles is crazy lol you can miss an attack and still beat the enemy to their attack and stun them out of it most of the time! Just spam attack :D
@@Strat-Guides Spam attack! That is my number one go to strategy anyway. lol
Thanks for all of your hard work with this and all of your other videos. They are amazing and super helpful.
@@kongvealsurvives Haha offense = defense in some cases I guess!
No problem, I'm happy to help. I'm glad people are getting some use out of all this data lol
I finally got around to doing smithing (5th campaign) but honestly I don’t use any of these. I use a short 2hander that’s fast for sieges, but my favorite is
The One Weapon to Rule Them All
Vougle head or Warrazor and a short(er) shaft that can couch.
Now you only need 1 weapon for pitch battles.
I discovered the cheekslapping powah of the long glaive on myself and it's been a favorite of my own since. Anyway cool to see you do another crafted list with triple the amount!😁
Crafted tier 4 glaive head, the tier 4 straw = death
Hahaha I like that - cheekslapping powah :D Thanks for watching!
How do you NOT have 1M subs already?! You're criminally underrated. 😭❤💯
Nice list👌
11:31 in my best Jim Carrey and a Tempurpedic mattress impression, "it's beautiful, man! Beautiful!" 😂
Falx blade weapons are all you need in BannerLord, both for on Foot or on Horse.
This was very entertaining!
Thank you! I worked really hard on this one so I appreciate that :)
Very cool vid!
Thank you!!
El Doinko Chiquito will now be the name of my character when I play a Spanish campaign in a Europe conversion mod.
Haha it's giving off some Don Quixote vibes, sounds like fun!
Haha for the voulge, I always decrease the staff length to about 165 or 175, I chose the staff that allows 2h and couch only. That way I don't go into 1h (game bugs on swapping between 2h and couch mode if there's a 1h option) this also means I don't get the best stats. Which makes me wish I could edit the part somehow.
I have a devil's tooth two handed variant. It does 162 cut damage, 87 swing speed, 74 handling, 119 reach, and weights 2.27. the pieces are Long Falx Blade, Long-Armed Guard, Northern Long Hourglass Grip, and Fian's Pommel. All max size. This is a demon on the battlefield and it is very proficient on horseback despite the lack of length.
This guide was a lot of fun 😂
I love you so much Strat. Your channel is my go to
Thanks Origami!
You are insane dude, best M&B2 channel on YT 👌
Thank you :D A little crazy is good I suppose!
100% true, keep it!
I found an improvement for the Captain America 1h swing damage build. +2 thrust/swing speed, +1 thrust dmg/handling, - some weight. Still has civilian, +dmg shields, and the same reach and swing dmg.
Engraved backsword blade size factor 110 (max length)
Imperial golden great sword guard size factor around 92? (close to min length)
Gold decorated leather bastard sword grip default size
Fian's pommel size factor 108 (from your build)
Weight 1.92
Reach 121
Thrust speed 87
Swing speed 75
Thrust pierce dmg 43
Swing cut dmg 105
Handling 72
As a 2h axe player some of those are just perfect for my long 2h axe plays combined with shield and any 1h weapon 🎉 i feel completely reborn since i found your videos
Thanks for watching!!
OMG! I love your videos my friend! This one was hilarious!! A lot of referenses!! I will try somo of it! Thank you! btw your spanihs is good :D
Thank you!! I spent about a week making this one so I'm happy to hear that :D
Yeah I actually do speak Spanish, not quite fluently but good enough to hold a conversation hehe I traveled to a couple places in south America and was able to get by. I'm from Southern California so my Spanish is more of a Mexican Spanish. Where are you from??
@@Strat-Guides ohh! So you traveled for South America! Great! I’m from Argentina, a city 500 km away from Buenos Aires. The province is called “Entre Ríos” (between rivers)
Your hard work is paying you a lot of commentary and viewers!! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@Strat-Guides My friend! I tried to do the Satan's tooth but i dont know the parts. Could you put it here? I mean Tear 1 blade (name) Tier 1.. etc. Coudl you? :D
it must have been a mod but my favorite weapon i made was a short polearm bardiche, was using it with realistic battles mod and it was just soo good. if i remember it was good b/c it could be swung and being short you wouldnt hit the shield or block to the left or right of you but could cleave (might be a mod at play idc the power fantasy was too good). also could be used as a spear which was really fun in RB mod
Great video strat. I think my number one weapon will always be some version of the dane axe. But i play sturgians alot. My other build i always use is Mat Cauthon from the wheel of time, who uses Longbow, dagger, throwing knives and his final weapon is a polearm with a swordblade
Thank you!! Yeah the Dane axe is so intimidating. Anything it touches is toast :P I love how the polearm with swordblades look, it's very epic!
Sounds like a cool build, the ashandarei
@@arlobickerstaff144 I know right! The problem i usually end up having with mat builds (or odin builds as i sometimes think of it) is that it ends up MAD. Its a fun build though, i usually make mat a vlandian and call the clan the band of the red hand :)
There is plenty of fine tuning for the role. I make my prison break swords a bit different to my battlefield swords. Sometimes you want the right amount of speed, reach, stabbing damage, handling.
Agreed, it's a totally different kind of fight in civilian settings compared to 2000 unit battles. Do you like thrust attacks for prison breaks as well? Or what is your preferred?
@@Strat-Guides yeah, good thrust on the sword, quick, not too long.
@@The_Custos Same!
@@Strat-Guides I started using one handed swords for prison breaks. It is interesting, and great battles can lead to you improving that really quickly, not as good as two handers but some can be very fit for the task.
funny, your satan´s tooth is also my favorit weapon, but named it Biggus Diccus. build a little diffrent with basic 97 speed, 137 dmg and the same handling. length is at 126 as i sometimes use it on horse as well. appreciate the effort making this video
Lol I see you have a very great friend in Rome too :D Such a funny movie.
Thank you for watching!
oh boy, love the intro! did you noticed when wielding some of the weapons, that the old bug returned? the one, when handle is detached from the blade, so annoying.
also, about the maces and axes. the best ones for all scenarios actually combine top tier head/blade with the lighest, but not shortest handle, decorated pinewood(tier2 mace) and way more variants for axe(reinforced ash tier IV for example), reach and(from that) damage may vary, not necessarily being the longest being the best
there also could be variants for best bastard sword(thamaskene kaskara imo) and bastard axe, amasing utility and slots saving, and multi-purpose shafts for polearms(reinforced pine tier III), with glaive head this one could become a true jack-of-all-trades weapon
Thank you!! This one was tough to pull off, but I think it turned out okay :) I need to improve still on the masking character out - I still see a lot of flickering. I had already sunk 10 hours into the intro and didn't want to spend any more to make it better lol. Yeah I saw that on a few weapons actually, parts of the handle were missing lol
Good point about the bastard sword. Oh about the axe, last I checked they can only be used 2H, even if the little icon says 1H and 2H. I tried it on several builds before and could never get it to work for 1H mode. Unless they fixed it??
@@Strat-Guides don't worry about it, i think it was very good and worth the effort)
guess they broken it. on 1.72, its still working. did you tried the button for weapon mode change?
@@areyoufcknkiddinme I don't think i've tried it in 1.8 but I do remember for the last weapons video I wasn't able to get it working. It's also possible that some handles that say it can use both don't work and some do - I didn't try all of them to be fair so maybe that one was bugged?
@@Strat-Guides with decorative studs is defininety the working one, must be they broke the functionality again( do bastard swords still work?
@@areyoufcknkiddinme Yeah I can get all of the swords to switch modes without issue.
Tier 5 polesrm: glaive, hardwood oak, and the pointing end for selling $38k a pop. I use the falaxe for my 2 hander so they have an extra damage to shields and such.
Wow I wrote this when I was falling asleep not drunk I swear
For money making on Smithing, you want to combine options. The highest selling smithed weapons I have found in 1.8 is the tier 5 civilian 2 handed blade with a 1/2 hand grip. For material efficiency it's a 1/2 handed throwing glaive.
Yeah for sure, the bastard grip is better for $$$ :) I was trying to min/max for this video so the stats for the 2H only grips were slightly better, but I agree with you!
Absolutely fantastic, not much more needs to be said!
Thank you! I appreciate that :) I spent a lot of time on this one.
Greatswords were never carried in scabbards (just stored in barrels and then carried bare), but if you did, and you wanted to be able to draw it from a scabbard, you would just cut a slide halfway down the top of the scabbard : )
I have no clue what historical text you’re getting the barrel thing from, but some had sheaths/scabbards and all were carried essentially like a musket or polarm on the shoulder. It’s confirmed by treatises and artwork. I have never seen a document saying they carried them around in barrels.
They used scabbards, they are needed to protect the blade
A point from the ghost of taleworlds future. The 'woodchuck' 2H axe you mention here is great with companions as the AI fighting has changed in 1.2.x and that speed+shieldbreaking is more useful since companions struggle with slow weapons or overly long weapons.
thank you, I was chasing for a good weapon for my companion only playthrough.
When i relize your content so outstanding i start to watch from the beginning,i thought its just wepaon ranking video,, gold my friend goolddd
Thank you! I appreciate that
As someone that prefers to play battanian, loves two handed swords and always maxes the height of my character, I HAVE to make the Mountain Blade. Almost feels criminal not too. Thanks for the idea lol
Yo that intro went hard affff
Thank you for watching!
Man, i love smithing in this game, but it feels like such a grind to unlock all the parts to make cool weapons. Even more so now that you unlock everything in order of the different tiers. Any tips on unlocking parts especially two handed maces and axes, because you dont get many to smelt down. Do you just buy a bunch of them in order to smelt them?
Yeah I agree completely with you on that. I used the console commands to get all parts this time and it still took me a couple hours to unlock everything. Luckily 2H weapons are pretty easy to unlock - just spam the best recipe you have and then smelt them all back down, repeat. Each time you unlock a higher tier of parts, be sure to swap them in so you get more XP and faster unlocks. I will typically craft for 2 stamina bars worth and then smelt 1 stamina bar worth and just keep repeating that. Sell a weapon or two from time to time to keep your money up. I hope that helps!
Great inventory, thanks for the video. But I couldn't see a cavalry lance, one that can be couched. Do you have it in the database you shared on discord?
My bad, there is one at 14:02
Maybe a tip for the next video. Since doing smithing orders is the best way to level, and I find it impossible to find the right combination to fulfill the order. Maybe a list of all the orders and the possible solutions? It takes me way too much time now and I don't bother anymore, I just smelt all the weapons that I get in hope to ever unlock everything that way.
That's a good idea, actually Hero made a video on that and the solutions are still valid! Here is a link to his video - czcams.com/video/CEsi-QQWUyM/video.html&ab_channel=Hero Let me know if it's all still accurate or not and I can try to make an updated one!
Big probs for the Danish love :D
- Regards from Denmark!
There's nothing quite like cleaving through two peasants in one swing, and having your horse trample two others in one charge.
13:10 - If your lawyer let you get married without a prenup you're screwed strat. Hire a new one and get that prenup
Lol good thing the misses doesn't look at old video comments :P I'll be on the couch bro!
Why are litterly the best bannerlord CZcamsr? And how has it taken me this long to find you! Curse you CZcams.
The Agorithm giveth and the algorithm taketh away ;) I'm happy you're here now though!
Excellent video, thanks for the tips and laughs =) Forgot to give my top 3..... 1) Zweihander 2) Lucille 3) Shish Kebab
Lucille is jealous... lol Thanks for watching!!
As a Khuzait horse lord first and foremost I'm so excited to try some of these out for myself. The shorter ones not so much as I prefer darting in and out of combat and spears will nearly one shot me at those speeds.
Joining the discord now for the builds, thanks Strat!
Thanks for watching! Hopefully some of these can serve you well in your campaign :D
@@Strat-Guides Having trouble getting the copy and paste to work for the couch lance any tips?
@@MrSarcasticGaming the only thing I can think of is to make sure you clicked on the polearm tab that takes you to the polearm parts selection. If you paste on any other weapon, it won't work. Aside from that I have no clue :(
@@Strat-Guides I got it and OH MY GOD you made a laser of a spear man. It just kills, that handling is really paying off! I wish I could give these to custom troops... now I'm gonna try your one handed swords! Looking forward to more Bannerlord content from you.
That intro was fantastic
Thank you! I think I might have gone a little overboard though haha too long :)
i enjoyed it, thanks
Thanks for watching!! I appreciate it :)
as allways great work strat :)
Thank you! I spent a bit more effort on this one so hopefully it was entertaining :)
@@Strat-Guides it was very entertaining for something that is supposed to be a boring stat comparisons for weapons ;)
(ofc comparing some numbers is never boring)
@@MrMcMuggel Yeah I know what you mean, I would have no problem looking at a database and explaining why I picked parts and stat distribution etc. but I think most people want a bit more than that. I had fun experimenting with stuff in this video - like the audio for the two hander scene. I had to add a bunch of filters to muffle the voice and add a little echo to make it seem like the sound was coming from their helmets. It took me an hour lol but I figured it out and next time will only take a minute :D
Damn bro.. I had no idea copy/paste existed in the game. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Scaramouch, Scaramouch you've been stabbed by Mandingo
Cavalry Charge and Couched lance, very, very frightening me!
Hahaha once of my favorites! I tried to find any of their songs to play in videos, but literally everything is flagged. I love Queen!
You should do a video showing the performance difference between an army with no captains and and army with skilled captains
I did some basic testing in my companion guides a week or two ago and it was a huge difference! Granted I had all the captain perks enabled, but I wonder what having only half or less would do? I'm going to be working on an army vs army testing video soon, maybe I'll try it there as well.
Thanks for watching!!
My personal favourite is....the Glaivelance.
It's a one handed couchable lance, it's a braceable spear, it's a 2h cutting polearm. With 227 length a respectable 70 swing speed and blunt wings for dismounting it's the bane of any horse archer horde. Not advisable under 275 polearm skill. 😃
Edit: It's only a braceable spear on RBM version. Parts used: Long Glaive Head; Blunt Wings; Oaken Long Spear Staff and any butt plu...pommel you want.
Edit2:RBM version uses Thin Fine Steel Hewing Spear head that allows 1h, 2h, couch, brace, cut and thrust usage.
Oh interesting, that's a really versatile weapon!
@@Strat-Guides Indeed it is. My first instance of this weapon was the Menavlance with a Menavlion head (obviously 😄) wich is much faster but at 201 length lacks the reach to be a proper lance. The glaivelance is kinda slow and only 68 handling or so.
With good RNR you can maybe get a legendary with 75 speed and low 70's handling but anyway I usually just use a regular Glaive to lvl polearms to 275 and start using it afterwards and then it really shines
Top 3 for me are the blunty boys for capturing.
Now that you've blessed us with top tier weapons, I'd love to see a low level budget and meme list. I love using really crappy weapons and super light equipment especially for bandit or non-noble playthroughs.
Yeah those maces are hard to beat, especially the brass knuckles!
Interesting idea, I'll add it to my list :D Thanks for watching!
high athletics and low enough weight can make a huge difference in avoiding damage in game on foot, and avoiding damage is much more effective than ever trying to tank, I might consider changing to lighter armor with a lower value for sieges and foot combat compared to what I wear on a horse.
made the executioner cavalry axe before even seeing any videos (i even named it executioner in game lol), it may be slow, but one shots everything
9:43 This is a year later, so maybe you already know this, but from my experience, some spears with swing damage can only be swung while on horseback.
I tend to prioritize length and swing speed over damage in my weapons as it allows me to have a greater margin for error in play without it being fatal. However, I'm wondering if the ability to one-shot on most hits may be more valuable as you only have to connect once. Have you tested for weapons that prioritize the other aspects of the weapon, and just found damage tends to be the most efficient thing to prioritize, or is it just preference?
(If you already did the above, and I just misunderstood the beginning of the video, do let me know. ^^)
Yeah that's generally how I build my weapons out - I will ensure to 1-shot the hardest opponent I will face and then pump points into speed and handling from that point on. Sometimes I will go back and redo a weapon - mid game vs late game builds are a bit different but I didn't want to get that crazy in this video lol
Length can be bad for some civilian weapons or in some places in a siege. There is a sweetspot for swingspeed/length and damage depending on how you are going to be using a weapons.
@@MusMasi well it always depends on where ur gonna use which weapon. indoors most stuff is better than a polearm^^
I really like the war razors length at like 111 or so in most situations. With perks your speed can get pretty high so I like to hit like a truck.
Holy shit bro, this is hilarious and beautifully done! 🤣
Thank you for watching!
Insane content again Strat. Shame that weapon gap bug is back, causes my stats to drop after a save and reload.
Thanks Bot!! Yeah I noticed it more now than previously. It used to just be the one two handed handle that I would notice it on, but now it's several parts.
About these kinds of videos, and strat guides as well, as we are moving to more and more users of RBM and total conversions alike that use RBM, do you think of updating those using RBM as base?
Oh yeah, I see that green handle on that two-handed sword and falx.
Hehe free stats because of TW Maths :D Thanks for watching Custos! I appreciate you!!
