10 Ridiculously Overpowered Melee Weapons

Have you ever looked across the arsenal of the collective video game universe and thought to yourself, "yeah, this is nice and all but I'm looking for something more... boaty."

Well fret not, as Huang Gai from the Dynasty Warriors series has got you covered. In a franchise where weird weapons are the order of the day, Huang Gai sails above the other bottom feeders with a weapon that is both practical and at the same time completely impractical. By this I mean that his entire gimmick is naval combat so a weapon that doubles as transport is brilliant, but also... it's a bloody boat.

Luckily for him and the player then, that this is actually a beast of a weapon. All of his moves focus around momentum which in a game that is covered with enemy fodder is incredibly useful, plus his chain combos allow you to surf around at speed knocking enemies out of the picture. It's true you could say that nearly every final weapon of the Dynasty Warriors series is overpowered, but few allow you to knock seven bells out of enemy generals while screaming with laughter because you're crushing them with a glorified canoe.
