What medieval weapons would angels and demons REALLY use? FANTASY RE-ARMED

What historical medieval weapons would angels, demons, gargoyles, half-dragons, and other winged humanoids really use?

[AnnaCurser]

basically. everything, everyone, always uses a spear. spears are the universal, all race, all situation weapons. a pointy stick never fails.

[CoachCraigWest]

Shad: "wings may get in the way when using a bow and arrow"

Crossbow: *slides in Shad's DM's*

[techwizpc]

Shad: ...weaponize parts of your body closest to your enemy...

Me: Sees spider on the ceiling.
Proceeds to headbutt the spider.

Anakin Skywalker: Are you an angel?

*Flechettes start raining*

[ileahtheawesome]

I like how Shad just casually invented birds of prey. "Give angels spiked feet" you mean talons. Birds with arms 2.0

[hades]

Now I'm visualizing an angel tap-dancing over its victims with hockey skates.
Fantasy battles just got 300% more hilarious.

[DJNightchild]

About the wings, one of my favorite writers "Raymond E. Feist" wrote in one of his books, that Demons who use their wings to fly, are mostly light-weighted and/or have hollow bones.
The humanoid demons with wings, don't actually use them for flight, but are used to install awe and fear into allies and foes alike. Their fly ability is gained through magic.

Shad: "...the use of gravity..."

Me: *instantly thinking of Narnia when the Griffons rained rocks on the enemy*

[paweandonisgawralidisdobrz]

*THEN THE WINGED HUMANOIDS ARRIVED!!!*

[cobraglatiator]

shad:an Australian:"when i see a spider in my house, i just use my hands!" in Australia...against Australian....uses his hands....Shad, i have a newfound respect for you.

[inomad]

Shad: “Wings are too small to fly.”
Hummingbird: “Hold my nectar”.

[chubibi]

Angel and demon : "i wish i had talons"
Harpy : i wish i had hands
Gargoyl : i wish my skin was soft
Human : i wish my potential wasn't limited by my body's feature... Oh wait !

[segafan]

a crossbow and a pair of ice skates, perfect.

[DylanNeuschwanderComposer]

Instead of a spear, I'm thinking a true war scythe might be handy for close up angel combat cause it won't get stuck and lost like a spear and offers some slash-ability without hitting the wings.

[loonardtheloonard]

Despite how realistic it would be, I still laugh at possibility of an angel ice skating me to death

[ashtongiertz]

0:33 "but most traditionally, you'd think of angels and demons"
Harpies: Am I a joke to you?

[danielskrivan]

10:00 There are TONS of reasons I could think of why they would want to go into melee:

1. Ran out of projectiles and still need to wipe out the enemy.
2. There is an objective they must reach that is at ground level (for example, one of them that was captured, a valuable artifact, etc).
3. Flying takes a lot of energy, maybe they need to swoop down and then fight on land to continue the battle.
4. The battle must take place indoors or underground.
5. The angel/demon was wounded.

[SagaxCorvinus]

Really? Nobody thought about the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

[rylandrc]

What about angels using a mace, baton, or a metal ball on a chain. That could work really well with the swooping attacks. Use that momentum to your advantage for blunt attacks.

Multiple angels together could fly holding a big bag of flechetes by ropes, releasing one rope makes all the flechetes fall on enemy armies
