and Nerien'eth

Iceheart!

I love ice stuff in general when it comes to fantasy, and it goes perfectly with Wardens, but more importantly I just love how the weapons are so elemental. Like they really are just enchanted shards of ice with a hilt or a staff wrapping. They really do pop out to you, even when they're sheathed. A lot of Undaunted styles aren't super noticeable until they're unsheathed sadly.

Frostcaster also has that ice theme and pop factor going for it but it's not an Undaunted style so I'm not counting it but I also really love that style too!

Hapexamendios

Spawn of Mephala because someone bought it for me.

looshora

Symphony of Blades.
The only style I've actually purchased. Overall not a fan of the Monster Style Pieces either they have too many magic effects or they just don't look generally good to me or they look great (Zaan and Balorgh) but don't come in the piece that I'd want.

Symphony of Blades just has an overall aesthetic that I like. The Bow, Shield, Staff, and Sword all look great to me.

I'd buy way more of these Styles if I could turn off the Magic Effect on them. Even Symphony would be far better if I could turn off the light show. But that is truly a personal preference I know plenty of people who buy them simply for the "Magic Item-vibe"

NotaDaedraWorshipper

So far, none. I'd probably like more if we could get versions without the effects, or tone them down.

FluffWit

Only ever bought Spellbreaker for skyrim nostalgia. Never actually used it.

If they gave us housing versions of these we could display as well as the style pages I probably would have bought a dozen.

Snamyap

Choketorn, nice fit for stamdk and stamnecro. And Balorgh for my Nightblades. Not a coincidence that these styles both come with a greatsword, and Balorgh even has daggers.

BloodyStigmata

Scourge Harvester and Symphony of Blades are both pretty great--ones good for evil looking characters and the other is great for paladin-like characters.

Necrotech_Master

nerienth and selene are some of my favorites, although i actually have a fair number of monster arms packs now because i really like the graphic flair (my DK uses a lot of the fire based ones like maw of infernal and illambris)

whitecrow

Troll King, goes with my Bosmer main and her usual color scheme.

Mother CIannit and Scourge Harvester, for the spiralling energy effect.

Marginis

I really like the ones that can match well with an armor set I have. Like, sure, effects are great and all, but I want to make sure the material can be dyed to look like bone to match my shaman outfit, and then have the effects on top of that.

Bradyfjord

Zaan for the fire. It's great with DK's Igneous Weapons effect.

Rutger74

Mother ciannait arms pack.

Really nice blue glow and handy when farming in dark places.

Dojohoda

Pirate Skeleton because the staff has a big skull on it. It's what I use on my pvp magblade.

I end up using Nerien'eth the most. I do not necessarily think it is because it is my favorite; but it tends to just kind of "go with most things".

Troll king is also used a lot.

I would use Symphony of Blades more if it weren't for some of them have that odd bit of Green lacing or ribbon on it.....like the staff. It really limits its usefulness.

The Opal Illambris staff is one of my favorites. Simple, subtle effect......blue and purple flames...I wish I could dye the gold staff head but that is pretty minor....I mean it is gold...so I can still use it in those designs I want to use gold....it isn't like it is green or anything.

I think I am basically not a fan of armor or weapon styles that have a non-neutral colored element to it. Legion Zero Vigiles Style disappoints me greatly due to the undyeable red portions.

Oh edit: Molag Kena is also glorious and used a lot due to how well it can suit multiple styles

None of them, I just don't like glowy weapons/armor.

Well it does communicate that there is a desire to have less flashy weapons. Less flashy weapons are NOT "all the other weapons". When you use those, you get the enchantment effect and some of those are not super great. And you do not want to start choosing enchantments that impact gameplay based on what they LOOK like.

I would even say that I frequently use the monster styles so that i can control the effects and not show enchantments.

It suggests to me that a way to not display enhancements or having styles that do not have an effect and also do not use the enchantment effect is desirable.

I would agree with that as well. Sometimes....the best effect is no effect.

The only people who see weapon enchantment effects are yourself. To everyone else it is a simple weapon, they do not see the effect.

Also this topic is about what your favorite Undaunted Arms style is. If you have an issue with enchantment effects (which is a completely separate and unrelated thing) make a topic about asking for an option to turn off seeing your own enchantments.

I just think it's ridiculous to come into a thread and add nothing valuable to its discussion for no other reason than to up your reply count, farm reactions, or simply derail - which is what you've helped do by giving credence to their superfluous reply.

Molag Kena and Valkyn Skoria.

While I don't own Valkyn Skoria those melee weapons dripping lava are sweet.

A screenshot of this menacing staff worn by my scary dunmer nightblade. With it's big grin, it looks like it is telling skeleton jokes.



Why didn’t the skeleton go to the dance?
Because he had no body to go with.

What do you call a cleaning skeleton?
The grim sweeper

What's a skeleton's least favorite room in a house?
The living room

A Skeleton walks into a bar
And orders a beer and a mop

AllegedParadigm

I'd have to say Nerien'eth since I'm a magcro main, the colors match well

ArgonianAustin

Iceheart as well. Got them the day they released and go nicely with my frost skin and frost guar.

I like the looks of Symphony of Blades, but I haven't actually purchased any monster arms packs. I do rock an Opal Ilambris sword one of my characters, but I'll probably replace it with Opal Symphony of Blades sword when it's finally available.
