himmin afl superior block armor

wondering if this was an intentional design decision.

compare iron-level 2-handed weapons:

1. iron sledge = 28
2. battle axe = 28
3. iron atgier = 28

all have 28 block armor.

now, compare mistlands-level 2-handed weapons:

1. demolisher = 52
2. krom = 52
3. himmin afl = 64

for some reason, the mistlands polearm was given superior block armor compared to other mistlands 2-handers.

The dev who made it or a tester probably thought atgeirs can't block well enough and got the numbers buffed. Can't really think of any other reason lol.

it's strange because it's really the krom that needs more block armor so it can parry. polearms dont even really need to block, then can just spam the spin attack to stagger enemie.

Not sure why you would compare the 6th biome weapons with the 3rd biome weapons. It’s obvious that higher tiers would result in better weaponry due to the scaling of biome’s difficulty.

For a better comparison, you can look at the blackmetal atgeir which has a block armor of 52-78 compared to the himmin afl’s 64-96 (normal scaling).

re-read the original post.
