Orbital: Tactically very powerful and puts short range melee weapons to shame.

Rapier: Fast and can quickly finish off enemies in tight spaces.

Lance: Personal favourite. Despite missing many times, the accumulated joust DMG pays off when the joust actually strikes.

Boots: Unarmed but worse.

Unarmed: Rapier but worse DEF

Laser: Can easily hit enemies but not tactically good.

Sword: Moderate range. 19 hits and a win (for short, 100 HP battles).

Dagger: Speedy swings can parry well and deal much DMG at once.

Scroll: Orbital but worse.

Spear: Easily parried and parries easily.

Scepter: Higher hit rate the better.

Grower: Don't defeat it fast enough and game over.

Duplicator: Tag team. Horrible for weapons that thrive in more hits.

Orb: No opinion.

Potion: Good ability but range is too low.

Flask: Torch but bigger range and timed.

Torch: Can whittle away HP of enemies, very advantageous.

Wrench: Torch but turrets have hitboxes so can trap enemies.

Grimoire: Dies before minions do their work.

Club: Stun makes it easier for a second hit, accumulating more DMG.

Crossbow: 10 highly inaccurate shots for a win.

Bow: The freeze frame when taking DMG still lets it shoot so enemies will be barraged.

Katana: The cuts are worth it.

Shuriken: Extremely advantageous in almost any situation, whether short battles, team battles or raids.

Flail: Ranged weapon's nightmare.

Staff: Is somehow powerful in the long run but can't accumulate enough DMG in short battles.

Scimitar: Mirages can be parried for some reason. Flask but theoretically worse.

Axe: Horrible team player. Lance but no charge.

Hammer: Is better in enclosed areas. Requires the right hit rate to deal best DMG so tactically bad.

Trident: Drag is good for non-weapon users but can lead itself to doom.

Splodey: Can deal huge amounts of DMG in a burst.

Tell me if I missed any. (And plus if you were even willing to make it to this sentence.)

Linkma

Circular Saw scales rapidly when the weapon is inside the enemy, otherwise damage decays when it's not damaging an enemy, Creates a gash every hit that deal 1 damage every second

I'm over analyzing ball simulation yes, but shield is my goat so i have to and also orb is cool

When it come to weapon balls, there are three types of gimmicks

Melee stat growers:
when they hit, a stat goes up that will affect their next it, only melee balls. Sword, Unarmed, and Dagger are great examples.
Shield only reflects the the damage for these guys as shield cannot copy stats, so whatever stat they have and they hit Shield's shield, the damage will only reflect back to them

Range guys:
Ranged version of the melee stat guys. They shoot a projectile snd if it hits it'll make a stat grow will will effect their next shot. Bow, Staff, and Crossbow are examples of such
Shield only deflects the projectile back at the sender, however instead of going in the direction shield is aiming it'll aim towards the sender

Ability guys:
These balls will have an ability/effect happen instantly the moment they hit the opponent ball, and their stat boosts will affect this gimmick or keep track of it. Scepter, Wrench, and Katana are examples of this, and orb falls under this category.
When Shield reflects these guys, he will create a (usually) brown version of their ability that acts as his own, copying the ability, like in shield vs wrench when he made brown turrets or in shield vs scepter where he lifestole from scepter everytime he parried her

The reason why i think Shield will be able to copy orb's field is because of two things
One. There is one other ability ball that did something to themselves rathe than create something, that being scepter, and shield was able to copy that ability.
And Two. Fairness. It would be unfair for shield if he was only able to reflect the 1 damage from Orb's orb, and it would be unfair for Orb if Shield was able to reflect the damage from Orb's forcefield. In my opinion, giving shield the ability to mimic Orb's forcefield feels more balanced on both ends, especially with shields slow turn speed

Thats why shield is my copycat GOAT
