I know it might be silly but I just want a nice polearm. so which one would be the best. I know there is the engesto, gondo, leviathan couse, dabo, anything else?

how would you rank them, which is the best?

-edit-
and if it happened to go good with sam or drg that would be cool.

engetsuto is pretty decent for a war.

are you wanting to level sync 75 and do bird camps?
or are you wanting uncapped 80war with polearm?


-edit Tomoe with sam or drg.

It's probably:

Leviathan Couse > Gondo-Shizunori (unlocked) > Engetsuto > Dabo

We had a war the would use polearm sometimes when we were fighting peircing weak stuff. His ws dmg and frequency was significantly lower than the sams or even his own on gaxe

You know I've never understood why this is. Seeing as war and Sam have the same pole arm rating it seems odd to me. Btw not saying your lying it's very true war with pole arm < sam with pole arm. It just seems odd.

War has a higher str rating than sam unless you mean hasso but if you bring ja's in war would have a bigger acc/atk boost with aggressor and berserk.

You would probably have to break it down to gear/merits.

A lot of polearm sams will merit polearm, polearm wars don't.

most polearm wars don't gear it right as well.


~edit its also alot easier for sam to get 6hit polearm than war.


~edit 2, got bored so made a 6hit polearm build for war

Could pull of a 6-hit engetsu with a haub+1 if you had a goading belt. :Q

ok lets say i did 4/8 merits, or even 8/8 merits. I know its probably not worth it but polearm is fun to whip out from time to time.

Thing is sam can get around such low skill by having armor that gives lots of accuracy while giving store tp and haste and get a 5 hit out of it

This is pretty much the key issue. A 6hit polearm doesn't touch a 5hit, and the ability to do so on polearm with minimal sacrifices is what makes Pole sam dmg so superior to pole War.
