What vidya has flails in them and they're actually fun to use?
It's just a cooler mace.

Some PvP Knight game I played during a free weekend too, forgot the name
Does anybody actually use flails in Terraria? They're the most clunky and unpleasant weapons I've had the misfortune of using.
They were the most clunky and unpleasant weapons in the game, up until 1.4 where they got changed and are now pretty good.

In Vermintide 2 they are *decent* fun, better than most gaems at least.
in robin hood: the legend of sherwood one of your characters uses a flail, also some of prince johns units
Flails are meme weapons. Irl, nobody actually used them unless to show off.
>It's just a cooler mace.
Now that's where you're wrong kiddo.
maces are just 6 thick daggers on a stick
Aren't these things a complete myth, just like fire arrows and horned viking helmets?
fuck off and fuck lindybrown
shut the fuck up faggot
Two-handed flail have historical presense but were extremely rare.
One-handed flails are complete fantasy.
Nioh has the kusarigama. It's not particularly fun though, at least for me.

No
Looks more like a leather sap on a stick and chain. Probably just a torture implement.
The only flails that saw actual use were modified peasant ones like the spanish flail or the hussite one.
just uncommon, you also have this but i am not so keen on the extremely rare part since those are made out of a common farming tool
They are honestly pretty good in 1.4. You can use them to make yourself a rotating ball of death, or use them as a trap that the Ai keeps walking into.
Terraria
They were a farming implement, so they would be used as makeshift weapons in an uprising. No archeological evidence exists for the classic 'ball and chain' flail, and the few odd artistic depictions by monks are sketchy sources at best. Really the problem is there's absolutely no reason to use one over a mace. Any additional impact strength from the centrifugal force is lost on the fact that the flail head would be comparatively smaller and lighter compared to a mace of equal weight.. specifically because you have wasted weight in the chain itself.

Also fire arrows arent complete myth
fucked up the order of pics

this is on par with "it is cerimonial" arguments that lazy historians make.
Terraria
Fire arrows aren't complete myth, but the way they're used in movies are. They're something to set fire to thatch with at mid range. Not for actual combat at all. If you were any closer you'd be just chucking flaming brands by hand.

Chivalry? For Honor? Mordhau? I know the first two have flails. Never played Mordhau, but since it's a clone of Chivarly, it probably has them too.
> Really the problem is there's absolutely no reason to use one over a mace.
isn't the point of flails that they could go over shields and bonk the enemy in the head?
>this is on par with "it is cerimonial" arguments that lazy historians make.
Didn't say ceremonial and I'm not wrong.
Considering the length of most chains it wouldn't work. Not to mention the risk of it just bonking you in the face.
Runescape
I bet there was one guy who was really good with his mace-head-on-a-chain, and anyone else who tried got fucking destroyed on the battlefield
they got fucking buffed hard and are now one of the best weapon types in the game
A ball and chain? Possible.
Multi-headed war-flail? Lol no. Physics doesn't work that way fag.
inb4 someone posts a hussite flail. Which doesn't even have heads
