Imagine being a knight that rules a kingdom with armor that weights more than 105 elephants and seeing a guy with just an underwear and a long scythe with a short blade and a hand trying to kill you
I think the devastating star flail is better than any weapon in the game. I won up to 600 levels by the flail collection. Tip to win every stag - emperor set , best mail set , devastating star flail, super spiky shield (not the dual handed emperor shild) it's yellow in color. I mean the bulbous tough spiky shield
In bloody bastards, you can essentially become the King of England, Holy Roman Emperor, Tsar of Russia and Shogun of Japan. The whole world could be yours.
tbf flail could be easily countered by wearing good Leg Armor and using short range weapons. Flail sucks at extremely close range and can only damage the legs if anything so as long as you have good protection, you can probably kill your opponent before he deletes your kneecaps.
