TipsEdit

• When going up against armored opponents, one should consider using Shattering Impact instead of building for Corrosive due to the weapon's low status chance.
• Using Berserker will allow users to take advantage of the Guandao's high critical chance to overcome its low attack speed.
• The Guandao's high range stacks well with range mods, being able to reach 9 meters with Primed Reach equipped.
  • The weapon's high range makes it effective against crowds.

TriviaEdit

• 'Guan Dao' (棍 Gùn 刀 Dāo) translates to 'stick/pole blade' or 'stick/pole knife' in particular Chinese dialects, which is essentially what it is.
• A Guandao (more properly referred to a yanyuedao (偃月刀) – "reclining moon blade") is a type of Chinese pole weapon used in some forms of Chinese martial arts, most notably Shaolin Kung Fu. The name is derived from Guan Yu (關羽), a famed general from the Three Kingdoms period of China who is said to have invented and wielded the guandao.

BugsEdit

• Despite being nearly the same size as Galatine (Prime), the Guandao stretches out of the Foundry animation while the Galatine doesn't.

MediaEdit
