Creation
The spear is a melee weapon that does a large amount of damage, has a fairly long cooldown, and deals sharp damage.
As is typical with any sharp weapon, spear attacks cause bleeding, and generally fares poorly against armor when compared to blunt weapons. Just like the club, the spear is a melee weapon that tribals use - but unlike the club, spears must be produced at a an electric or fueled smithy.
Spears have the second highest base damage output out of all melee weapons, with the highest being the longsword. On that note, the spear seems to serve as a middle-ground between the gladius and the longsword, seeing as its damage output and cost also stands right between the two weapons.
It has a great advantage against armored targets, with the stab attack having much greater armor penetration, at 50% base.
Obtaining
Spears can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant, or obtained from any melee raiders - with the exception of drifters and thrashers. Spears can also be crafted at any smithy once the long blades research has been completed, from 75 of any metallic or wooden material, and 17,000 ticks (4.72 mins) of work.
Spear vs. Comparable Weapons
This section goes over how well the spear fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.
Methodology
- All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease
- All pawns have a skill level of 8 in melee
- No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance
- All pawns are of 18 years of age and completely healthy
Results in the table below are the percentages of battles that spears either won or tied against the weapon listed in the first column of said table, with a sample size of 2,000 battles per result. Higher percentages are better.
The following armor categories are:
- Unarmored - Plainleather button-down shirt and plainleather pants
- Flak - Steel simple helmet, flak jacket, flak vest, plainleather button-down shirt and flak pants
- Marine - Marine helmet, marine armor, plainleather button-down shirt and plainleather pants
| Steel spear vs. | Unarmored | Flak | Marine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel ikwa | 50.95% | 62.60% | 72.85% |
| Steel gladius | 46.40% | 60.45% | 69.60% |
| Steel mace | 50.75% | 44.15% | 31.85% |
| Steel longsword | 36.05% | 42.30% | 52.30% |
| Plasteel spear | 31.63% | 33.30% | 35.50% |
| Plasteel spear vs. | Unarmored | Flak | Marine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plasteel ikwa | 49.35% | 60.00% | 66.90% |
| Plasteel gladius | 49.00% | 59.15% | 67.35% |
| Uranium mace | 48.75% | 40.75% | 25.70% |
| Plasteel longsword | 36.75% | 39.20% | 46.10% |
| Steel spear | 68.37% | 66.70% | 64.50% |
