Sarissa (Timeless)

The Sarissa is an epic weapon exclusive to Mount Olympus It is an enormous spear, often slightlu curved because of its weight, that is used to impale zombies from a long distance

Appearance and origins
It is a 7 meters long spearw made out of ash wood, with a large iron spearhead. It has a two small metal cylinders with an hinge dividing it in 3 parts, which can be used to fold it if you need to draw another weapon

Attack patterns
The Sarissa uses very powerful thrust attacks forward to impale zombies, and is very heavy so it will take a long time to turn around with it. It can however slightly stun zombies if it hites them in the head when you are moving it

Strategies
As the longest of the spear, the Sarissa excels in terms of range, and can easily impale a zombie with a single kick if it well executed. However, it is very heavy, so it will slow you down and use a lot of stamina, and its length is also a slight downside, since it will be harder to move it around, and many zombies can easily be fast enough to avoid the spearhead, making it useless against huge hordes as it can only target a single ennemy. However, when confronting bosses and Gargantuars, or even zombies like Bucketheads, it will be extremely useful, dealing very high damage in case of a headshot for the formers and killing instantly the latter if you use a heavy attack. Poor at crowd control but efficient against single targets, the 'Sarissa ' is thus only recommended when facing bosses and very bulky ennemies.
