  the threaded cane in bloodborne is an excellent whip weapon. Nothing else comes to mind tho…

    That thing turns into a whip? 🤔

    I never used it for a whole run.

      It’s its trick mode. You can convert it without dropping your attack ‘combo’ on odd-numbered hits, so you can rush up to an enemy, quickly ‘cane hit’ twice to stun, then ‘whip hit’ until you’ve killed it with a bit of AoE coverage that stops any other enemy in front of you from sneaking in. Works great when you need to clear out a large number of mooks; the whip is a bit slow when you’re fighting single high-difficulty enemies.

      In fact, might bust Bloodborne out again after I’ve finished Mina, always something more to learn about that game…

  There’s a game called Moonlight Pulse that has a Castlevania whip on one character; so you get to decide whether to focus on its use. If you nail the perfect spacing with it and strike with the tip, it does a TON of damage, helping to shred bosses.

  The game lampshades it a bit too. The girl who owns the whip laments that she has no natural abilities like the others, and instead relies on a crummy piece of equipment.

  Ivy’s whip in the Soulcalibur series is pretty gnar. But that’s not really what ya mean (I assume).

  They’re pretty good in Dark Souls 2 and Bloodstained 😭

    They ignore shields in Dark Souls but they are still outclassed by so many other weapons. It’s sad, because it’s a stylish, unconventional weapon but it also makes a run with one a challenge run due to it not being strong or particularly fast (as well as having wonky hitboxes, depending on the whip and game in the series).
