(Strife anon) yeah I get that but what I’m saying both are pretty unsuited for combat, even though needles can be sturdy killing something with them seems really improbable because stabbing something is actually really hard, I was asking what do you think the measure of usefulness has to be? Like did sburb see the potential of the needles or something?

Oh. Not at all really, weapon kinds are yet another instance of customization in Homestuck- They’re personal and can be literally anything. Whether you manage to kill things with it or not, SBURB is not concerned. Then again, everything is a lethal weapon with enough alchemizing.
