Whips

Whips are unconventional weapons that lack the raw power or armor penetration of other weapon types but compensate with their long reach, unique wide-area strikes, and immunity to being parried. They shine against unarmored or lightly armored foes and handle multiple attackers well, thanks to their broad horizontal arcs. Whips cannot backstab or riposte, limiting critical opportunities, but their steady, interrupting strikes can still control the battlefield. Their hidden advantage in PvP is that augmentations are only visible upon attack, allowing for surprise tactics.
