Skyrim Maces Ranked Worst to Best

[@vcsa681]

I dont know why,but despite the dragonbone war hammer being ugly,the idea of beating a dragon to death with a femur of his own species sounds metal to me

Personally I'm very partial to volendrung, just because I used it as my main weapon the one time I did an orc playthrough, and wacking Nazeem with a hammer that big while you have berserker rage active feels so good. For you, probably not so good for Nazeem.

Here’s a real challenge: ranking every skyrim sweetroll location. I mean. If you’re going to rank everything you got to do this too.

[@TheThezenith]

A lot of real medieval maces were at least a little spikey, rather than just blunt. A big heavy ball with spikes is quite effective at punching through armour, but there also were plenty of blunt ones for big concussive blows and putting huge dents in armour.

[@041mikey]

The spikes or phlanges were needed to bite into the armour so that the force and weight could actually be applied, without them the mace blows will glance off plate unless hit just right

[@TheThezenith]

@@041mikey Ye I agree, although, some Indian Mace's were just spherical hunks of metal on sticks from what I've seen weird, idk why they didn't just spike em up. But yeah that's literally the only example of spikeless and flangeless Maces I can think off.

[@justinfarmer7460]

In my first game I found this cool hammer and its effect, I didn't use two handed weapons so I decided to disenchant it. Aaand 2 days later I found that the blacksmith at raven rock has that enchantment on some weapons

[@justinfarmer7460]

@@jacopovilla2028 I almost did that too, but before I went to the enchanting table I cleared a reaver hideout for shits and giggles and got the chaos enchantment from an axe I found in the high-level chest at the end.

My brother tried to get me to disenchantment it but I told them no and I bought a weapon with a better version of the enchantment

Not including the rope bow in the Dark Messiah bit must have been a personal attack. Easily one of the most interesting tool in any video game. I definitely spent hours playing around with it

[@mrsirdba]

Volundrung will always be my favorite weapon from this game, I will always immediately get it at level 10 because the ability to do heavy attacks for free is broken once you get a high enough 2 handed skill also I love the design, the glowing red part and the look of the green enchantment just sells it to me

Funny thing about the Champion's Cudgel is that it is inspired after a legitimate historical weapon the "Pollaxe". And so are several of the Warhammers in the game. It's basically an Axe, Hammer, pike and spear all in one. You should search it in you KZbin you'll be amazed.

[@sofijakirovski-mclean6287]

My favourite type of mace is a glass mace because it just looks awesome!!!!😎

[@nathanielturner2577]

8:06 The Champion’s Cudgel is the prefect weapon for a Bosmer. It will kill your enemy and tenderize their meat for dinner, at the same time!!

[@MrAfreay]

I think the Windu Mace is the best. Although, It could result in your hand being cut off and getting yourself thrown into the air...

[@majorgear1021]

There is probably Windu Mace mod where you wield a laser mace!

[@DynamoTheGamma]

The daedrick WH is what I think of a Warhammer wielded by a angery daedra. It's badass. Period

[@fransthefox9682]

My favourite one is the steel mace because it's pretty and at the same time also looks functional. If only the head was just a *little bit* smaller for better weight and maneuverability.

[@MrBendylaw]

No Mace of Aevar Stone-Singer, no list. That thing smoked in the cold Solstheim daylight and sent enemies sliding thirty feet with their heads broken in. How they missed the greatest artifact of the Skaal will forever be beyond me. I sing to stones sometimes just remembering how good it was.

[@calebr9736]

Fr! This weapon is badass

[@MrBendylaw]

@@calebr9736 Somebody at Bethesda needs to step up and hire an 'Armorer'. The fact that legendary weapons like Chrysamere, the Spear of Bitter Mercy, the Blade of the Frost Monarch, weren't carried on is terrible. It's a disservice to the mythos. Same for the lack of Daedra. Why should I fear Falmer more than Daedroths or Ogrim? And Falmer are just reskinned, weaker goblins anyway. Should have had a whole snow-elf civilization down in Blackreach. If you're going to copy D&D, do it right. SMDH..

As someone who has a decent wealth of knowledge about weapons I do believe you are referring to a proper Flanged Mace, ones specifically made to damage armor and severely damage the people who were not wealthy enough to be wearing plate mail. I have to agree they do look better.

Maces, much like their more aggressive morning star cousins, were designed to break and crush armor. They aren't clubs meant to _unga-bunga_ your enemies' skulls in, they're more sophisticated (if not brutal). All that to say, maces _should_ be sharp and have spikes.

[@talosisoursavior3061]

man puts nordic warhammer under dragonbone warhammer

[@grzegorzflorek5623]

2:59 - So, here's a thing about the Dawnguard Rune Warhammer - it is probably the most interesting and powerful of all warhammers in the game. You can cast Fire Rune by bashing a surface, only using 50 stamina instead of 250-350 magicka, and it levels up your destruction skills very fast. Plus, it has a hidden synergy with Become Ethereal shout. If you're ethereal, as long as you don't bash someone, you can keep bashing/casting runes without loosing the ethereal effect, and blowing up your foes while they can't even hit you. Pretty broken, right? 😱🔥

[@haryosoo]

You know which outfit goes well with the Champion's Cudgel? Chef's Tunic

[@dakotafogarty5901]

I disagree on a couple of the lower ranked weapons but overall the list is pretty close to what I think. The one thing I definitely agree with is that without the magic bullsh#t most of the weapons in the video would be decorations not functional weapons the dragonbone warhammer would at least be effective at convincing people to stop laughing at you if it hit them can't say the same for the mace though

[@jkre]

You know a spiky bits are better mace designs than smooth surfaces, because they bind in to armor, not to penetrate it, but to bind in to it and not clance off like smooth surface mace would do on a rounded surface of the armor, so instead most of the energy getting vasted by clancing blow, you get the most energy of your mace to the target because of those spiky bits.
