You know what really takes weaponry to the next level?
Making it magic! There've been plenty of
awesome magical weapons over the years and I'm gonna count down
my top 10 favorite. Hey, a boomstick for ScrewAttack's
top 10 magic weapons.
Number 10
You gotta respect Bayonetta.
When it comes to weaponry, this gal's got quite the arsenal
at her fingertips - and toes.
But the set that makes my mouth water just
thinking about are her bazookas. You know what I'm talking about
the bazookas that fire magic missiles
Seriously - how often does anyone come across a pair
of rocket launchers from the depths of hell? I'm talking about
Lt. Col. Kilgore
This death launching duo are sent to contain the soul of the crazy
Vietnam vet from everyone's favorite war film
and thanks in part to the spirit of this madman
these explosive ... are Bayonetta's most
powerful ranged weapons.
Plus, if you pair them with the ... , you can fire a dozen
rockets across the battlefield in all directions
I mean, just
look at the destruction these things deal out.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
Question for ya: what's better than a legendary
sword passed down through time?
A legendary sword passed down through time that shoots
magic lasers!
Forged by the hand of a goddess, the master sword is
great for up close and personal combat and
ranged, but that's not all
This double edged blade can destroy magical barriers,
dispel dark curses, and seal away demons
which would be really handy if any of my ex-wives come
looking for alimony. If the master sword runs out of juice,
you can give it a jump start with a bit of lightning
But most importantly, it shoots lasers!
Come on! Oh, and as a bonus, you never
need to sharpen it!
No matter how long this thing has been lying around
it's ready to go as soon as you pick it up even if it's broken.
Number 8
I have a dream:
that one day I have access to so many guns
I can toss them aside like tissue paper
The next best things are Reaper's Hellfire Shotguns
in Overwatch. These unlimited akimbo over-under
double-barreled blasters are devastating up close.
And when I say unlimited, it's not
like a shotgun with unlimited ammo.
Oh, no, no! These are literally
an infinite number of hellfire shotguns
available to Reaper at all times. Seriously,
after blasting your foes, you just throw 'em on the ground
like a mic drop and a new set will magically
appear in you hands. Now sure,
some of you might be thinking, "But Boomstick,
the guns aren't magic, it's probably Reaper!" And I say to you:
prove it! Until then,
a man can dream.
Number 7
The ultimate conversation starter - Destiny's
Icebreaker is the baby of science and magic
attempting to harness the power of the sun
into a single sniper rifle round.
Now sure, 99% of the prototypes exploded and
killed their users but
hey, I'd say their sacrifice was worth it
I mean, this things shoulder rounds hit harder
than a cobalt colossus in heat - and by that I mean
they make them explode in fiery death. Each of
its half dozen rounds are constantly regenerating over time
so reload time is reduced if you are a good shot
Their real magic though is the fact that if you earn a
good shot, the gun has the chance to automagically
replenish the missed round instantly.
Speaking of missed rounds, haven't played Destiny 2 in a while
Number 6
Having chains seared permanently in your arms seems
like a high price to pay for access the powerful of magic
but the blades of chaos are definitely worth it.
Forged in the depths of the underworld by Ares himself,
these blades are perfect for any situation. Just start
flailing your arms around and watch the body count
rise. If you need more convincing, Kratos'
weapons of choice also burn enemies as they cut
They are basically bladed nunchuks of fire magic.
Sword-fire chuks, if you will
Yeah, I'd sacrifice my family for those
In a world populated by vampires
and demons, you know there's bound to be some cool magic
weaponry from seraph of the end.
You got bows that fire energy,
scythes that send fire to the ground but nothing stands out more than
Shinji Hiragi's sniper rifle
or as I like to call it, the sniger rifle
"Why?", you ask. Because it shoots
motherfucking tigers! Nothing let's your opponent know
you're better than them quite like blasting an endangered
animal into their chest. I could go on more about this
beast of cursed gear like how it's powered by a demon
- but who cares?
It shoots
tigers!
Number 4
If Outlaw Star has taught me anything, it's that
space is full of sweet spaceships, aliens,
and magic. And it's also home to one of my favorite
magical pistols, the Caster Gun.
Why cast a spell with a wand when you can shoot a spell bullet
out of a gun. Well the shells are
extremely rare, the punch they pack is incredible.
I'm talking massive Kamehamehas of hot fire
or miniature black holes
and some may think it's a bit of a downside
that using a shell too powerful will cause it to drain your life force
but personally I feel danger goes with a weapon
like cheese with a fine wine and by that
I mean cheesed wiz and mad dog - oh I'm gonna
get myself that tonight
Number 3
Thor's hammer has many origins but my favorite
telling is from The Mighty Thor - mostly because
this teeny tiny hammer has a super storm
a size of a galaxy inside of it. And oh boy
do you get some power wielding this thing
I'm talking teleportation, weather manipulation,
massive energy beams and flight. And by
flight, I mean hooking this hammer with all your might and
and hold it on for dear life. So not only does Mjolnir
let you dull out magical hammertime, capable of leveling mountains
to your enemies, but you can save on
air fare. Oh, and hammer's also nearly indestructible
Those things got a lot of going for it
Number 2
Back when I told Joe about my favorite swords,
a bunch on the list had a few magical properties
but the one that sticks out is the legendary
Sword of Omens from Thundercats.
It's like a Swiss army knife of swords. I mean
really, what can't this thing do? It's indestructible,
can cut through anything, shoots energy projectiles,
heals things, grants X-ray vision,
calls your friends, and holds entire planets together
Plus, one of my favorite things about the Sword of Omens is
you can't lose it! All you gotta do is
call for it and it comes flying to you which is handy because
it's probably pretty easy to lose in its travel size
It's a bit of a grower, not a shower.
Probably explains why Liano has to get
all hyped up every time he draws his sword. It's
Number 1
I've counted down a lot
of badass magical weapons but one takes the game
because you can do practically
anything with it. I'm talking about the Lantern Ring
Originally made to harness the power of the Universe,
all rings on the emotional spectrum let's you just
think of something to have it created in front of you
Swords, gatling guns medical equipment,
the limit is pretty much just your brain. Oh, think of the possibilities!
Giant bottles of booze,
movie theater sized TVs,
strippers you don't have to pay
Oh wait, this is about the weapons
How about a suit of armor or an Apache helicopter?
Honestly, the sky is the limit with
the power ring's magical manifestations. But the real question is:
Which color do I pick? Probably
not going black ring because I'm pretty sure you need to die first to wear it.
Red lantern rings require all of your blood to be replaced with lava
Gross, but also pretty metal!
You know what? I'm just gonna cheat and I go phantom ring which
let's me harness all the feels on the emotional spectrum.
Now, to summon a giant ... to terrify Wiz in his sleep
When it comes to giant mechs, they're usually
built around sides but Voltron is the bastard child
of science and space magic
Imagine cruising around town in this baby. The only real downside is
I need 4 other people to make it run
I guess I can auction a lying off to the friends that serve me best!
Yeah...
Now who'll have the upper hand, Wiz?
