Chainmail blocks slicing attacks. It's not that great protection against piercing attacks right?

[–] Gabu 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That is correct. Piercing attacks is how you break chainmail to expose weak spots.

It still provides good protection, as breaking links isn't easy. Most materials protect against slices; even a single layer of cloth helps. Slices suck against armor in comparison to other attacks. Weapons that slice also often hack well(heavier along the width and curved) or pierce well(narrower towards the pointy tip and straight).

Mine would be especially bad against piercing attacks I think, due to being butted rings rather than riveted (see one of my comments above for images of what that means.)
