Dagger
This is a very niche weapon. Basically, this is a spam skill that is useless against enemy armor, but has a -15% hit chance. It requires a very high melee skill to use it effectively, but when used correctly, you can easily kill even the toughest opponents.
Sword
Works well against elusive enemies as the main slash gives you a + 10% chance to hit. In general, a good weapon for non-professionals who are fighting against opponents without armor.
A spear
Just like swords, a very useful tool against opponents with high melee defenses. But spears also allow you to use a special skill called "spearwall". If an adversary tries to approach you with a spearwall, a free attack is launched. On hit, the enemy returns to their original tile. The weapon is great against zombies and ghouls.
Ax
The ax is your jack of all trades: it has decent damage, it is good against armor, it can pierce shields. But you pay for this versatility with fatigue, especially at higher levels.
Hammer
It is your main tool against armored opponents due to its special attack that is devastating against armor.
Mace
This weapon is great for tiring your opponents, and you can also use it if you want to stun an enemy (even undead!).
Chain
you only have one chance to hit the head, but you also get a special attack that only targets the head (which is exhausting though). The special perk ignores the shield bonus, which makes this weapon awesome. And, of course, there is the berserker chain - one of the most interesting two-handed weapons.
The Big Knife
Not only do you take the highest damage (especially against orcs), but also extra damage from bleeding. Plus, you get a special decapitation attack that is great against zombies.
Great sword
They dominate the game right now, mainly because you get three types of attacks: for one enemy; an attack that is directed at the enemy next to you and behind him; and deployed, which can hit three enemies at once. Some players create squads that are armed only with large swords.
Big ax
Better damage and best effectiveness against armor. But his strikes are difficult to control and unreliable.
Two-handed hammer
Good damage potential, also excellent armor breaker.
Polearms
This class features a pike and a halberd. Even though the pike has less damage, its secondary ability - knockback - makes this weapon a better choice than the halberd.
Ranged weapon
Bows are great against unarmored targets and for spam arrows, crossbows are designed for armored opponents. It is ideal to have at least two archers in your squad and use one with a bow and one with a crossbow, since the latter gets a smaller radius of action, but at the same time it is easier to use. High-level weapons allow you to deal with any threat.
