10 Pathetic Video Game Weapons (That Players Still Used)

10. Excalipoor - Final Fantasy V

As a poor twin of Excalibur, Excalipoor is naturally not the best weapon in the world. In fact, it's purposefully terrible, only hitting for a single point of damage each time you attack. It's even used as a bad result for summoning Gilgamesh in Dissidia 12.

However, in a game like Final Fantasy - where hardcore players manage to beat the whole game with their party at super low levels - it was inevitable that someone would find a way to make this trash become treasure.

The use of Excalipoor comes from one crucial detail: it may hit for one damage, but it always hits. As such, if you make it so the weapon causes a status effect on those it hits, it will consistently dole out said status effect, making it a reliable way to poison or stun enemies.

The weapon is also incredibly useful against metal slimes, which have such high damage resistance and evasion that consistently doing one damage to them is actually a godsend. Oh, and if that isn't enough, it can also do incredibly good damage if you throw it. Whoever named it poor didn't try it out enough, basically.
