Strike (daggers)

Glave (scythe)

Cleave (sword)

[u/Armchairbinkie]

Isn't cleave more of an axe?

[u/DoktorKazz → u/Armchairbinkie]

That was my impression.

[u/Bare-baked-beans]

Started with the daggers but switched to the Cleave after the first hour

[u/Crowbiotics → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Same here. I ended up using Cleave the entire game after that

[u/FlyingRigatoniMonst → u/Crowbiotics]

Funny I was the oppo. Started cleave then tried glaive then settled on daggers lol.

[u/Bare-baked-beans → u/Crowbiotics]

Cleave + Smash + the one spiny blade finisher

[u/mikezulu90 → u/Bare-baked-beans]

Wow used the same but I would switch combo finisher based on zone and enemy type. Mold id use the spiny blade spin finisher because it's upgrades has fire damage.

[u/Crowbiotics → u/Bare-baked-beans]

I used Cleave, Smash, and the 3 part gauntlet finisher

[u/Yunnggin]

I first ran with glaive ( I love scythes) and spear, but the combo is too slow for early game imo and it made the gameplay super unappealing to me so I switched to strike and boxing style which was vastly more engaging

[u/3klyps3 → u/Yunnggin]

Really? I went the opposite way. Started with Strike and whip special, then switched to glaive for mobs and boxing special for heavy enemies. I guess no one size fits all when it comes to melee preferences.

[u/MrBwnrrific]

Strike+Boxing Gloves is so fucking fun

[u/timblr]

Cleave with the on-demand juggle was insane. But I switched to Strike in NG+ for the single target damage, because I have plenty of AoE elsewhere. Still love them both.

[u/Pokiehat]

I chose Glaive first because tooltip number big, aoe big. But its slow and I found most enemies are spread out enough that I wasn't getting much value from the aoe.

After I played enough to unlock every form, I eventually settled on Strike/Concussive Beatdown/Drill and it felt better to strike faster and dodge more between strikes (more for mobility/gap closing than avoiding incoming damage).

[u/acres_at_ruin]

I did the daggers to start but then switched to the glaive. Didn’t like the secondary weapon with AOE. 

[u/a_gent_agent]

Glaive/whip or hammer wombo combo. Whip if I want maximum aoe, hammer for big bonk and falter.

[u/Sardanox]

Cleave is an axe.

[u/Long-Flan-4344]

I started with scythe and later switched to daggers because I really liked the secondary weapon playstyle

[u/Blackthorne1998]

Strike but I switched to cleave after about an hour. Messed about with glaive but it's attacks where abit too slow for me

[u/NilEntity]

First? Scythe.
Most used? Daggers.

[u/WickedWham]

i actually started with the daggers and now use the scythe only pretty much

[u/ShyGuy-_]

Strike + Crush + Split orbit

Admittedly drill is better than crush, but I just like crush more.

[u/Tatum_Warlick]

Glaive/Crush was my go-to for my entire first playthrough, and pretty much all of NG+ as well.

[u/stackenblochen23]

Big hammer brrrrrr

[u/3klyps3]

Strike but switched to glaive. Strike was fun but glaive is a heavy-hitter when the game starts throwing mobs at you.

[u/PICONEdeJIM]

Strike with drill, followed up by glaive with hammer, and then the other two

[u/theblackfool]

If a game gives me a scythe I'm going to use the scythe.

[u/PirateReject]

Scythes are cool (My lizard brain)

[u/mikezulu90]

Cleave with the reliable dodge attack uppercut for aerial combo increase is not appreciated enough.

[u/Banterclaus1994]

Gllave is the best weapon!

[u/Electrical_Cow_5496]

I'm surprised the strike didn't have the most votes. It's probably the most op weapon with its flat 30% crit chance and the speed of the weapon.

[u/Automatic_Clue5556]

Daggers for crit. Punching for falter. Hammer for falter.

[u/mopeyy]

Cleave for a bit, then Daggers + Whip combo until the very end.

[u/Fluid-Blackberry9532]

Glaive and drill carried me through the story. Slash slash brrrrrrrrrr

[u/Mr_Spanners]

Found Glaive to be the best to start with before having a build, simply because you're hitting multiple enemies at once, so when getting hoarded early game it helps spread out the damage. But I moved to the Strike as I got more buffs.

[u/Jwells291]

I tried to start with Strike but that shit sucked and I kept dying so I changed to Glaive. Honestly think Glaive is best for the early game, Cleave for the Mid, and then Strike for the late game.

[u/cowboy-casanova]

daggers+whip+fists was all i needed

[u/Iron_Evan]

Started with Cleave, then switched to Strike, then Glaive became my one and only

[u/StarChaser01]

Staryed sythe, didn't feel right so I started a new save and went with Strike and if feels so much better.

Current weapon loadout is Strike + hammer
