Top 10 Best Bludgeons in Kingdom Come Deliverance | Most Powerful Maces/War Hammers KCD

[@geckowithapencil1373]

Oh and btw just a humble opinion.I think the Ceremonial Mace should be 1 since it has a higher defence and durability stat,plus it has the same blunt dmg with the Bailiff's mace with a 1 dmg pt higher on stab and slash.

[@Lardex]

Father! Good to see you!

[@Dare_To_Game]

I agree, upon reflection i do think the ceremonial should be number one, it simply wasn't here because their highest stats were even, and the bailiffs mace comes first alphabetically.

[@joshuacollins9346]

@@Dare_To_Game Stats aren't even. Ceremonial mace has slightly higher stab and slashing, and the charisma is significantly higher too.

[@Davidofthelost]

Joshua Collins he said Highest, meaning Blunt Damage is the same. But I still prefer Ceremonial Mace over Bailiffs Mace for those few extra points in Slashing and Stabbing. The Higher Charisma and Durability also outweighs the Bailiffs Mace so all the more reason Ceremonial Mace is #1.

[@stargatefan10]

Heavy Warhammer...No competition.

[@notvladamir4082]

agreed

[@Dare_To_Game]

Valid point, also one of my favorites.

[@HurriShane00]

Damn ight there's no competition. To me it's the best all around Bludgeon. because of the Stabbing stat. I like to use the stab motion alot to gain some space and the upper hand

[@Donbd83]

+HurriShane I don't think the thrusting attribute matters much on maces, I see very little difference in the thrust attack damage between a heavy warhammer and ravens beak. The spike does help but it is pretty negligible.

[@HurriShane00]

Well the Heavy Warhammer has a spike on the end giving a much higher stabbing stat making it much more effective and piercing the enemies armor. I like to use the stab alot after a defensive move especially with the Bane Potion on the weapon

[@marianhicklinbeam5531]

[@RicardoRs1990]

Maces are pretty good for attacking armored targets because most plate armor has very poor blunt trauma defense, as should be. But honestly I prefer using swords and axes because there are weapon repairing perks that maces simply cannot benefit from, because you can't sharpen them yourself in a grinding stone.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Yeah, this game definitely favors bladed weapons. I usually carry a sword as my primary and a mace as backup.

[@daviddavidson2357]

Plate was always worn with padding underneath and most plate had a significant airgap between the plate and padding so that even if dented, it wouldn't end up causing you harm or even discomfort. If maces were historically *that* good against plate every knight would have used one, yet they favoured swords with maces being somewhat of a pauper's weapon on the low end (graduated wooden shaft, filled with lead at the top and with a metal band friction fitted) or priests who saw maces as a weapon that kills without spilling blood (or spilling significantly less). Moving a weapon with the mass that a mace has isn't easy and requires some wind-up which gives a swordsman plenty of time to block or run you through. Not that maces and hammers were useless, they simply aren't the amazing armor piercing weapons some people believe them to be. Even against chain a spiked mace would be hard pressed to penetrate, though the kinetic energy transferred through chain would certainly be enough to crack ribs, though not for a plate cuirass.

[@handlesarecringe957]

Grinding stones don't count for repairing the weapon yourself, you have to use a blacksmith's kit

[@qmarkp98]

@@Dare_To_GameI carry mace and shield (Heavy warhammer) for big battles and sword for duels.

[@Duran762]

@@daviddavidson2357Theres plenty of other sources saying otherwise. Maces, warhammers, and war axes were pretty effective against armor so idk where exactly you’re getting the info that “armor has air gaps so those weapons don’t work” bullshit. Knights commonly used maces, axes, and lances you can find plenty of sources online. Don’t really know why you’re saying it wasn’t used much. Swords are mainly used and seen as sidearms like pistols. They aren’t effective once armor is involved. Thats why you use bigger and heavier weapons like the mace, axe, hammer, and spear.

[@spliff0289]

I went with maces for most of the game til just after the pious mission. I got the Bailiff's Mace in skalitz before Runt robbed me. It's always there in an unblocked chest in the stream along with the best metal plated axe in the game. A great find for new players

[@Dare_To_Game]

Yeah, that chest is a great way to get good items early on.

[@marianhicklinbeam5531]

I can't really agree with your rankings; I find the smaller of the two Heavy Warhammers the most effective largely because of its very impressive (for a bludgeon) 25 stabbing dmg, on top of a blunt of 54 which isn't too far off the top maces. (Maybe that's because I like to use a lot of thrusts, especially against unprotected faces). If we just want to total up all-around damage, it comes in at 76 where the Bailiff's Mace is only 65.

[@TheBeautifulGamer]

I really wish we could display weapons and armor in our village somewhere

[@MasterTiccu]

I just got this game a few weeks ago and spent my first week using longswords exclusively. Decided to give the Raven's Beak a go at one point and boy does it wreck stuff. The mission where you go to scout Pribyslavitz? Yeah I killed everyone there. It's absolutely insane with a shield and rage potion and the potion that gives you 50% more stamina. You can overhead swing that bad boy for days and cumans just keep falling. They don't have the stamina to keep blocking the hits

[@Revilerify]

9:44 I want to be a bludgeonsman XD

[@regulatorQ]

I love this game! One important thing to note is that the Raven'd Beak does mixed damage and is capable of causing bleeding on heavily armoured opponents. Some other maces have this capability but the Raven's Beak is the best at it. Just my two cents 😊

[@ancienttechnique5830]

I have a hard time using anything but the Ravens Beak. I need to let go and stop being afraid to try something different

How do you rate Warhammer over Spiked Warhammer? The spiked Warhammer does only one point less blunt damage, but adds 9 points more stab damage, so that gives you another attack option (stab attack is also quick). For me that easily justifies sacrificing 1 single point of blunt damage...

[@HeadHunter697]

I'm pretty sure Morgenstern is Czech or German for Morning Star, wouldn't know what Pernach is though

[@laufert7100]

Pernach comes from the Slavic word pero meaning feather. It originated in the Kievan Rus' (todays Russia and Ukraine).

[@thelobsylife5174]

[@taninsam7893]

I use the spiked warhammer. its not the best but I took down Runt in a single hit before I had the Headcracker perk. Plus I tend to stab a lot more than swing. I just started using Mace and Shield and I have stood my own against all of Pribslavpravitz (however its spelled)

[@limenpepper]

I read somewhere some hammers in the game eg raven's beak has its stab and blunt damages added together and dealt at the same time.

[@Dare_To_Game]

From my experience, they only have stab damage if you use the jab attack.

[@Ironmaidenportugal]

I bought the bailiff mace at Rattay for around 900 groschens!

[@Dare_To_Game]

Its kinda pricey, especially early game, but it is a great weapon.

[@DziaduSwierznowski]

Why would warhammer be number 7 while spiked warhammer is 8? Blunt damage basically the same (1 is no diffrence) but stab damage added for spiked warhammer. Given the choice of those 2 i go spiked anytime

[@NoirChat138]

12:48 the noob weapon of choice is a polearm, incredibly powerful to the point of being almost broken, low skill required for attack, a bit tricky for defence. Spears are the worst offenders, cheap to repair in any common blacksmiths, tremendously effective against any cumans ( aka the Cuman' SLAYER choice) also good for the consequent loot ...

[@Dare_To_Game]

Yeah, poleamrs are wicked good, they are just not handled very well in this game. If you could carry, store, sell, and buy it like any other weapon, they would be the best.

[@AleksiJoensuu]

5 years later: I think the in game unit of weight is pounds - but I don't know which pounds. As I understand it, at that time there were actually local units of measurement. Bohemia's mile was longer than a Silesian mile, for example. 7 and 6,5km, by the way, so if you time travel to medieval Bohemia, be careful when listening to directions. The metric system wasn't really realized until much later. The game's Statistics screen seems to talk in metric, but the perks mention pounds.

How is the bailiff‘s mace better that the ceremonial mace? it‘s worse in everything

[@daveincognito]

What mace level would you recommend reaching with Captain Bernard before trying to swing one of these things around in the wild? I've met random full-plate bandits who don't seem to react to getting bashed in the head with the Morgenstern. What makes this especially problematic is that I'm nowhere near Skallitz when I meet them. They're just on the road between villages.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Its more about your strength level. Once you get that up your strikes will be more effective. The weapon level just dictates how well you will avoid blocks and land accurate strikes. It also unlocks combos.

[@NoirChat138]

Horsemen perk (knight) + polearm (spear) + bludgeon ( ceremonial mace) = perfectly unbalanced CAVALRY force

The heavily armoured bandits in the Sasau region often have it. Just do the bandit camp missions there (or look up the bandit camp locations in the Sasau region online) and if you kill all the bandits in one of the camps you're sure to find it on some of them.

[@lennert8530]

@@Dare_To_Game Am I the only one who gets a higher damage stat with that type of heavy war hammer than any other mace? In the info box it shows a lower number but when equipped it beats every other mace. This is with strength at 20, so it has nothing to do with the minimum strength stat.

[@deicio724]

​@@lennert8530 It's because it looks at the difference for instance a mace with 10 str req and 50 dmg will beat a mace with 13 str and 60 dmg at lvl 20 str because every str above the req adds for instance 5 dmg (I do not know the exact numbers) It might be a bit late replying to this tho.

I thought maces would be shit because I didn't want to damage enemy armor. They won't ruin the armor like I thought though so not to worry! I make all my money by killing bandits and Cumans. Good thing that I found a great mace early on I which is why I used it rather than swords, otherwise I might never have tried them. Doing an axe play through now and I love it! If say axes and maces are the better weapons. Swords aren't my thing although it is nice to have so many combo attacks

The best thing about swords is the combos, otherwise maces and swords are superior in my opinion...I guess swords are also better for quick attacks against lightly armored oponents.
