Sooo, my fan decided to die on my as I wrote the post, so now I'm forced to post on my phone. Freaking slow and awkward. Tried to respond directly on the blog, but there was literally no reply button.

Anyway, what I was going to say is:

1) My point was that Pyrrha's weapon is irrelevant. It may have a spear form, but it is also a sword. An actual cutting weapon actually good for slashing. So it SHOULD still be good at slashing even in spear mode. If you had a knife that cuts well, and glued it to a stick, it will still cut well.

2) Weiss Rapier is capable of slashing, yes. Better than normal, yes. BUT it is still a Rapier, it is a weapon whose design makes it 1000x better at Thrusting, at piercing, than it would ever be at cutting and slashing. Even if Myrtenaster is still good for slashing by RAPIER standards, the fact is that it is a Rapier, not a Cutlass or Cleaver or anything actually good at SLASHING.

Pyrrha's sword, is a conventional sword in design. It is good for slashing and for stabbing, which is why it isn't a great idea to compare it with Myryenaster. Weiss's rapier is a weapon that is only really effective at thrusting, and even if it ca do slashes, it won't be half as good as an actual slashing weapon designed to slash.
