:Simply put, there is no single "best". If the creature has internal organs, the spiked ball (3 piercing attacks) can achieve a lucky (if not immediate) kill. The giant axe is the meanest, dishing out huge amounts of damage and can severe limbs - and even a zombie GCS is less dangerous without a leg or four. The corkscrew and serrated disk are in between, each w/ diff crits as above. A spike has some special uses that are unique to that. Slashing weapons tend to leave body parts that dwarfs want to clean up. Decide what you want to kill (or maim), and what its weak points are, and base your decision off of that.

:: [[Cages]]. They're one enemy removed automatically, no matter how powerful. (Of course, since they're one-shot traps, it's probably best to back them up with row after row of serrated discs, spiked balls, and axe blades). And we can't forget the importance of using weapons that your dwarves can't, like mauls, to add a bit of an unpleasant surprise. --Count Dorku | :: [[Cages]].

Wait, is it just me, or do blowguns do ''more'' damage in melee than they do in ranged combat? What's up with that? I know the darts are small and all, but WHAT.<small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:KoboldInDisguise|KoboldInDisguise]]</small> | Wait, is it just me, or do blowguns do ''more'' damage in melee than they do in ranged combat?

:I'd guess it's intended as a poison delivery system, a part of combat not (yet?) implemented. For all those scorpion and spider and etc venoms we see in trade that have no (current) use.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 15:01, 20 October 2009 (UTC) | :I'd guess it's intended as a poison delivery system, a part of combat not (yet?) implemented.
