🗡️ Weapon Usage
Most weapons in the Plasmator Weapons Pack are designed for two-handed (2H) or half-sword techniques. Here's how to get the most out of them:
- ⚔️ Two-Handed Weapons: Use both hands for full control and power. Ideal for wide swings, overhead strikes, and heavy blows.
- ✋ Half-Swording: Grip closer to the blade or handle for better precision and thrusting — especially useful with polearms, picks, and hammers.
- 🛡️ One-Handed Weapons: Perfect for speed and paired combat. Some can be used with a buckler or off-hand item.
- 🔨 Blunt Weapons: Aim for armored targets. These are made for crushing, not cutting.
- 🧪 Experimental Weapons: Some fantasy arms and oversized designs require practice and adaptation — don’t be afraid to test different grips or moves.
