Really boring. Get a massive nodachi

the best isn't always the best

Fucking weeb punk.
I prefer two-handed maces.

>doesn't even post a broadsword

The concept of a broad sword didn't even become significant enough to denominate until skinny blades like rapiers were widespread.

Why would I use a sword when I could use a polearm?

For me it's the hand and a half sword

because they had the option to use a modern gun instead?

>broadsword
That is just an arming sword. Pic rel is the legit broadsword aka basket-hilted sword.

Cowards used spears and it was usually the cowards who won and survived

Ranged warfare is just so fucking lame. And now drones do all the job, so it's double lame. I wish we could have a gentleman's agreement when WW3 inevitably breaks out and we're all only allowed to use classical era weaponry.

Literally only a problem for slow ass broadsword users. A katana wielder can just cut down the bullets mid-air.

There are quite a few options
>Axe (Not the battle one, hobo rules)
>Bastard sword
>Pole axe
>Warhammer
>Big ass swords like claymore, zweihanders, flamberge...

for me it's the Striking Eagle
japanese swords were shit compared to chinese swords
but european and middle eastern swords were far and away the best ones

>The asian weapons on the bottom left
I seriously wonder if these retards ever practiced real warfare or just some sort of convoluted circus showdown between their clown armies.

You smell bad

That's D&D fags for you, anything that looks exotic is a worthy add.
