i like the crissaegrim because it strikes ultra fast. I use it to play with shaft and Dracula a lot of times.

You might say I'm strange, but my favourite weapon is the chakram!!!!

It's stats are not too great, but still they do some decent damage. But the thing is:

1. It's one-handed
2. It's a long range weapon
3. You can throw two of them with ONE chakram equipped
4. You can get it after only one hour playtime

That basically makes 8 hits at once if you have two chakrams equipped, because you can throw 4 of them and they will most likely cause damage again when they return to you.

Also you get it damn early from the discus lord in the catacombs. I always go there as fast as I can. And it's not that rare, so you'll need only around 10 minutes to get it.

Only the Crissaegrim is better than the chakram, but I don't like it much because the game gets too easy,....well, not that it's hard to begin with.
