Qiang (Timeless)

The Qiang is a very rare weapon that can be only found in Antique China. It is a long spear that can be used to deliver quick thrusting attacks

Appearance and origins
It is a 3 meters long spear, made out of slightly flexible hardwood. The blade is diamond-shaped, and there is a bunch of red horse hairs at the base of the blade. It is based on the eponymous weapon used during multiples dynasties by chinese warriors

Attack patterns
The Qiang uses fast thrusting attacks to deal damage to the ennemies, and can deliver plenty of attacks into a short period of time. It can also be used to deliver a slower attack that will go further. It also has a boost of damage if you manage to do a headshot. Due to its short size, it can also be used more efficiently to block attacks

Strategies
Even if there is longer and more powerful alternatives, the Qiang excels in terms of attack speed. Even if it usually deals a quite low amount of damage, a single combo will usually be enough to kill a zombie, and an armored target can be eliminated with headshots. Her shorter size also make her less heavy, and you can block attacks quicker with it. It will however have more troubles than other spears to hit zombies from a safer distance, and will make you a bit more exposed. It also hits less harder than other weapons of this kind
