I do have to ask where can you get those prop blades of chaos those look sick

​@@Idlefro Just the prop ones? Not something practical? Cause I definitely want more practical ones

[@soundtrancecloud5101]

Those are tiny

[@nailujhhh]

[@Yimir_K]

I feel like they’re perfect, and it’s mainly because they’re not great at everything by default. That would mean that anybody could pick them up and use them to their full potential without learning any of its attack types, whereas how it currently is, makes the user have to know how to use bludgeoning weapons, great stabbing weapons, great slashing, weapons, great and flexible weapons greator they can’t use that in the first place.

[@tntblaster137]

If I see a 7'8" buff dude with chains around his forearms each connected to those blades, I wouldn't think, "Yea, Jack of all trades master of none, lol."

The cons of these blades is the lack of Strength of user to properly use it. So perfect weapon for Kratos.

[@AintNoWayItsYoshii]

[@benadrylcumbersplatch6448]

@@magnesium_mg0man the fire ain't even the worst part, without some manner of magic to guide the blade using the chain is more dangerous to yourself than it is to your opponent, and don't even get me started on edge alignment with the chain...

[@barrettnichols2949]

​@@AintNoWayItsYoshiiIn Musashi's "Book of Five Rings" he talks about simply mastering the way of the warrior is not sufficient. "A warrior should rule his house the same as he commands his troops. The way of the sculptor is as important as the way of the artisan and vice versa." (Im paraphrasing but its words to that effect.) Drawing wisdom from one source is narrow and limited. One should draw wisdom from many sources.

[@shadowsnake5133]

Other flaws, spikes pointed at hands, impractical blade dimensions such as the spike midway through the blades cutting edge, and the chains themselves in the game version, where they're not connected, meaning you're expected to throw these, despite it essentially being weighted like a bad axe, and pulling thrown heavy weapons back being impractical. Really, outside the top part being good for piercing armor, these blades need a complete rework, and the chains need to be connected. They need a good guard for not harming the user, and straighter blades in general.

[@ScenicFights]

Excellent analysis

[@shadowsnake5133]

@@ScenicFights they're some of my favorite weapons, but I know full well I'd never use them in the field. Another such weapons like 99% of key blades. Unless they do shoot the magics in game, then it's like why wouldn't I? Access to healing in this economy? And from everything, easy sell.

[@elpogio4890]

Yeah, makes more sense for the blades to actually be magical objects, if they weren't then they'd suck to use heh.

[@Skyisgoingbacktopluto]

​@@elpogio4890it's also important to note that they're technically also sorta meant to be a torture device for Kratos. Even with mystical improvement, they probably suck to use and take skill and energy to use properly.

​​@@randomgamer625 not exactly the leviathan axe was designed to be a throwing weapon given how the profile of the handle is shaped and the Axe head looks very forward heavy meaning once you swing it in one direction you can't change direction as you would with other kinds of battle axes that are more balanced unless your Kratos

[@mrman4211]

Cons: you get chains burned on your wrists by a malicious god

[@squishybrick]

There is a variable you may be forgetting.. Through either the gods, or video game logic, said blades are indestructible, meaning they will never wear, rust, dull, chip, bend or break.. With that in mind, what you are now holding, suddenly has FAR greater potential as basically any form of weapon. This is why samurai swords carry such respect.. A simple edged weapon becomes so much more deadly, the sturdier/durable it is.

[@magic593]

All the cons vanish when your mf Kratos. Long as they can cut ok he can cut through a god

[@TsulaAngenati2292]

There are two other cons that cons that come to mind 1-Edge alignment: It’s hard to retain edge alignment with a weapon that is thrown or connected to a chain that is being flung which would lead to poorer cuts as the blade wouldn’t distribute all of the applied force. 2-Force retention: The longer the chain is used to sling them the less kinetic energy actually is retained in the end of the blade to inflict any meaningful damage.

[@3slicessenpai]

I think the greatest con of the Blades is that, much like many sickle user in fiction, their chains can both extend and retract like Kratos has a little motor near his wrists that can automatically launch and reel in the Blades.
