Blade on a Stick: Difference between revisions

Line 250:

* ''[[Gears of War]] 2'' has its resident [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Skorge take this trope to its logical end: a ''[[Chainsaw Good|double-bladed chainsaw spear.]]''

* Oddly, this was the weapon of choice for Serge in ''[[Chrono Cross]]''; a two-ended glaive, basically, called a 'swallow' in the game.

* Back to early games ... the halberd was one of the best mundane weapons in the first ''[[The ~~Bards~~ Tale Trilogy|The Bards Tale]]'' game. And for some reason you could carry a shield while holding it.

* In the ''[[Touhou]]'' series, the character Shanghai wields a razor blade tied to a stick.

** Considering she's a doll, she can practically use any weapon - the razor blade on a stick is a popular rendition, as are medieval swords. Alice (the wielder) generally prefers [[Beam Spam]], though.

Line 281:

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' has a representative selection of spears, pikes, and halberds. Most of them are too large to be wielded by dwarves, but a steel pike in skilled hands can comfortably [[One-Hit Kill]] a ''dragon''. Spears are distinguished for being simultaneously lethal and clean by damaging enemy internal organs rather than lopping off limbs, which add to on-screen clutter and can mess up a player's precious FPS. On the other hand, it makes them rather less useful against enemies who don't have internal organs, like the [[Undead]].

* [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Undines]] and knights wield them in ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' and it's spinoff ''[[Yggdra Unison]]''. The former use [[Prongs of Poseidon|tridents]], and the latter fights with a [[BFS|humongous lance]].

* A Spear is Eoaden's primary weapon in the ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' game ''[[Lord of the Rings The Third Age]]''. Though this might be because he's the last character you get and all the cool weapons (Sword, Bow, Axe) have already been taken.

* In ''[[Majesty]]'', City Guards and Royal Guards get halberds while heroes will wield bows, hammers, or [[Heroes Prefer Swords|swords]].

* In ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series, Kratos had two [[Blade on a Stick]] type weapons, including the Spear of Destiny (which is partly made of purple crystal, can stretch and fire explosives shards) and the Arms of Sparta (Spear and Shield combination). {{spoiler|it gives the latter to his brother Deimos in order to fight Thanatos}}.
