In the right hands, it’s still a great consumable to use. Gladius10-12 (Bronze)Speed: FastThe Gladius is a sword that can be used to do melee attacks. It has decent speed and good damage output. However, it doesn’t have a special ability like the Sledgehammer. HastasDamage: 12-14 (Bronze)Speed: FastThe Hasta is a good choice for you if you love to use a spear. However, you’ll need to master your positioning skills to get the most out of the weapon. Once you do that, the Hasta can be a wonderful choice, and you can also combine it with a shield to do more damage while nullifying incoming attacks. 0 The post Romestead weapons tier list—best ones to use appeared first on Destructoid.
