Was expecting nunchucks at F tier. Not disappointed. Also STICK should be at S+ tier

Shad: "A poleaxe can offend someone wearing full plate armour quite effectively"

This is like Shad combining all of his rant videos about terrible weapons and glowing videos about great weapons in one nice condensed video.

I think the hunting bow icon should have a simple d-shape but just shorter than the longbow, this would avoid confusion with military composite bows

Amazing vid, really like it. One suggestion: could you put up a big image of the weapon when you introduce it? Would make it easier to visualize. Thanks!

Please do another tier list, these are so fun to watch and do. If you could though, have a bigger photo of the weapon you are suggesting. The pictures on the tier are a little small to see. I know you reviewed all to most of these weapons already, but I still need a reminder on what they look like X.x

Opinions:

I was expecting all or most S tier weapons were going to be the varient evolutions of the spear. As Tierzoo said, it's the best in-slot two handed weapon until the development of the modern rifle.

The best wild card castle defense weapon: French taunt. It is extremely effective, with huge amount of emotional damage.

Great banter! The background character should become a permanent sidekick.

Great Video Shad and a lot of fun. I'd love to see your rankings for your S-tier choices! As always you've entertained and educated me, thanks!

Great vid Shad. I was in a medieval combat club for 5 years .. talking with clubmates we concluded the best set up for a infantryman in random situations is : Gambeson with mail overlay . steel helm , large shield slinged over back to protect , primary weapon 6 ft bull spear and a sharp side arm perhaps a short sword

Shad, you're completely missing the most devastating battlefield weapon, and I'm disappointed that you forgot it.

Hey, Shad. I’ve started my second book. I’m really hoping my intended series does well. Also, in your true medieval fantasy novel, I’m curious about something: will there be monsters in it? Monsters are one of my favorite parts of fantasy.

I definetely loved it. The only things I guess were missing were the training time for the weapon to be used effectively and its cost. Both really important constrains when thinking about war campaigns...

The banter you 2 have, makes it great. More please. Lists and banter.

I like where the katana was placed in the tier list. During the war eras of Japan, katanas were mainly used as a secondary weapon. This was because Samurais mainly fought on horseback and used bows and spears. They would only used their katana when they were knocked off their horse, lost their bow or spear, or for self defense when why are not on the battlefield. The time where the katana did see the most "action" was during the Edo period, the time period in Japan where there were no wars, where they were used as personal carry weapons and as a status symbol to show that they were samurai.

Shad speaking french to a french viewer is pure gold.

Really fun episode, Shad.

PLEASE do a follow up about personal defense! I'd love to see how an individual's needs might differ from a group, especially in a less formal setting
