This post is all about knights that want to express their personal opinion of what 5 star weapon has the most fun and overpowered special charge attack! You don't have to own this weapon to say your opinion! You could be Tier One and still express your opinion!

You could state a sword, a gun, or a bomb.
This weapon has to be 5 stars.
You could also change your mind.

OP and fun? That doesn't exist.

Brandish and Blitz charges are OP, but boring.

Catalyzer, Troika, and Winmillion charges are fun, but they suck in practice.

You just need to learn how to use a Catalyser.

Overpowered...
Sword: Radiant Gun Shards
Bomb: Brandish, maybe?
Gun: Divine Avenger

Fun...
Sword: Pepperbox
Bomb: Troika or Catalyser, depending on mood
Gun: Barbara's Thorn Blade

Swords:
Any 5* Brandish.

Handguns:
Blitz needle

Bombs:
Dark Retribution when CTR Maxed (preferably with the CTR Med from being fully heated) and Damage boosted by Chaos/Mad Bomber and used against anything but Fiends and Undead.

A gun that should be OP but lacks the incentive to use it because it's so slow is the Magnus-line.

You don't know how to use a Troika then o.O

It has the reach of a Glacius charge, the knockback of a Leviathan Blade charge, the manouverabilty of a Flourish charge, and when aimed correctly, does more damage than any other non-risk sword charge attack, and does so against ALL enemies, not just Undead/Construct.

The drawbacks is that its regular attack is slightly underpowered damage-wise (not knockback or range though, you can keep anything at bay if you know how to swing it right) and the charge attack can't be pumped out as quickly as the Brandish's charge attack

Using a catalyzer is very handy. Stack up an enemy with orbs and then shield bump him into a group of enemies before detonating! :D
Additionally, catalyzer charges still stick even in circumstances in which invincitinks would apply. This means you can tag slags while they are spawning, tag vana while he's doing his HATER'S GONNA HATE walk, etc.

^ In PvE, maybe so. In lockdown, it is your deathnote. (Anyone get the reference? Eh? Actuay not an anine fan)

Also, its not the damage, but the sleed that is bugged. Anyone who has used one will realize that a Suda asi ultra is sliwer than a normal avenger. Don't believe me? Go try it. Try troika with swiftstrike, the normal avenger. Herp

Swords: Simply any brandish,

Swords: Simply any brandish, the Shockwave makes it into a pseudo ranged weapon when neccessary and small monsters get pushed back and rehit for an eternity if you use it correctly, however for FUN . . . the Hammer . . . relatively useless, but so fun

Guns: Trollaris, just cause all those damn strikers get annoyied at it cause they can't run in and 2 shot you any more

Bombs: in LD, Freeze bombing the entire enemy team so they can't move for the entire match, gives you such a satisfying feeling, esp when they are all strikers without skolvers.

But you know what beats them all?

The one weapon to rule them all?

The most Overpowered and fun weapon to ever be devised?

A Magikarp. Nothing Beats this Beasts splash attack. one swing of your trusty Magikarp will decimate all in your path.

Since when is lockdown a valid indicator of a weapon's balance? According to lockdown, Blitz needs a buff.

Also, its not the damage, but the sleed that is bugged

Yeah, sealed sword is faster than a troika, although they have the same range. That's common knowledge.

We're discussing charge attacks, not regular ones, anyway.

^ You can't be ignorant, you

^ You can't be ignorant, you have to take the weapons' perfomance in ALL aspects of the game into consideration (PvE and Lockdown both). And yes, speed is slower. Its obviously not supposed to be like that, which means it is indeed a glitch. Besides, it would be nice to see more Suda's and Trig's in LD, which is part of SK.

Brandishes ftw

Being hit by a Troika charge in PvP IS deadly.

But you just don't see it much in PvP because the regular attack of the weapon matters more than the charge attack, due to utility. But we're not talking about the regular attack! We're talking about the charge attack! So therefore PvP is hardly relevant to this discussion.

Even if you were to compare all the charge attacks of weapons in PvP, Troika would still likely come out near top, alongside brandish (although both of them are difficult to use)

Sudaruska/Triglav charges could hit over 1k damage in total, and that's normal damage. Volcanic Pepperbox, Plague Needle and obviously Blitz needle would probably rank first, assuming the full charge is unleashed at point blank. FoV charge, on elemental critical, and hitting all 4 times, could potentially rank amongst the top. Brandish charges, assuming an enemy is weak to it and takes the full brunt of the explosions (not getting, say, frozen midway by Glacius etc), Levi charges (triple hit), DA charge, AP/Sent charge eagle, Driver charge with ricochets, DVS and WHB(?) charges, Flourish charges could all potentially rank somewhere on the 3rd-8th and so on.
