Personally, I’m all about the energy sword. I’ll use Gravity Hammers, especially if I have a Grinder, but I love swords. Quick, nimble, deadly, and to the point, and that’s not including the Prophets Bane. I’ll use it in Super Fiesta (One does not Simply throw away a Prophets Bane in Super Fiesta) but in regularity, I’m more prone to pick up a Vorpal Talon than a Hammer.
Sword or hammer… I don’t know I guess it’s depends on how the game is going and what mood I am in. The sword is a more effective weapon IMO so in arena or in a game where my team is behind I am more likely to use the sword. But if I am just playing for fun the hammer as it is more satisfying to get kills with.
I’m leaning towards the sword based on my experiences in Castle Wars. If you’ve seen me in action, you know that I’ll decimate whole groups on my own. So fun.
You need the swords lunge. Both are a one hit kill but the sword means you close the distance much faster. However a hammer is more likely to kill a sword wielder and has a small AoE.
