Flail
The Flail serves as the melee counterpart to the Combat Shotgun, offering a balanced approach to combat with both offense and sustain. It deals good damage while setting demons on fire, and its ability to regenerate shields makes it a useful tool for keeping health high during intense fights. Particularly effective against armored demons, the Flail excels in providing both offense and survivability.
Where To Find It

Upgrades
TIER 1: Conditioning: Cuts the cooldown on Flail charges by five seconds, so you can bash demons' heads again sooner
TIER 2: Ignite: Demons are set ablaze upon being hit, dropping off armour to keep you healthy mid-combat
TIER 3: Resonant: Flail hits do more damage to armour and metal shields, allowing you to crunch through any heavy demons. You’ll also get more armor drops with each hit
TIER 4: Engulf: Each Flail hit will set nearby demons ablaze as well, dropping off additional armor and keeping you healthy longer
