FLAIL Weapon Type: Segment Attribute: Strength Primary Attack: Very High Primary Defense: Low Offhand Attack: Very High Offhand Defense: Very Low Flails are powerful weapons that exploit their segmented nature to increase their crushing potential. Unlike whips, flails have weighted heads that inflict crushing damage upon the wielder's target. Derived from tools used to thresh crops, the standard combat flail has a rod for a grip, linked by a solid chain to a heavy head. The head is then spun for additional torque before it is swung at the target. A flail, such as a morning star, often has a spiked or enchanted head to cause additional damage upon impact, and some flails even use multiple heads that are swung together. As potent offensive weapons that are difficult to block but also difficult to parry, flails can be as compact as a shadow's nunchaku, or as massive as huge war flails with two-handed handles that are capable of being swung to deliver incredibly punishing blows. * Especially powerful as a primary weapon. * Attack power is not decreased when used in offhand.
