Flails may be the most overlooked weapon class in Elden Ring. Though fans naturally gravitate toward tried-and-true weapon choices like katanas or colossal weapons, they can hardly be blamed for missing out on the flail category, which only boasts a total of five choices. Despite a relatively shallow pool of options, there is enough variety that players can likely find one suited to their style regardless of how they like to play Elden Ring.
While they may not be the most optimal choice in Elden Ring, flails have a unique ability that makes them worth reconsidering. Their range is already difficult to judge in the heat of combat, but flails are also one of the few weapons that cannot be parried by enemies in Elden Ring, making them an excellent surprise choice in PvP, especially against players using a Buckler or a Parrying Dagger — fairly common occurrences in the current state of the game.
