sword and shield stabbing is very good

and thats getting so strategic that u need to specify a scenario

stabbing kinda sucks with a longsword

but at least you have rangle

whip a samurai

otherwise ill just say balista is best weapon

Indeed, but you put a rapier against my choice weapon, and the rapier will have no defenses. I'll get stabbed, they'll get hacked

historically spears were better

you have to consider period

no

spears are most effective and simplest of mele weapons on open field

if rapiers are a thing

so are pistols

they were more used because much easier to manufacture/train in

and he can sidearm murder you

Indeed

how do u see halberd takaing on spear

if you want to take function with aesthetic tho

go ahead explain ur reasoning

what is each person wearing

a cuirassier i think

where are they fighting

how many people are there

is the height of the gunpowder era aesthetic

But, I'm a celt. So if I'm fighting, chances are I'm going to get shot

would recommend a sidesword or back sword because they are suited for battle

its functional yet looks cool

its light weight but offers fantastic protgection

@Tato The moment humans discovered polearms, spears were discarded in favor of them. The only reasons to use a spear above a polearm is 1. spears were super cheap to manufacture and 2. spears were easier to use.

or even broadsword

a spear is a polearm tho...

the moment polearms became thing ppl aready wore full plate armor

Details

Yes

this kid is retarded
