Guisarme

A guisarme is a European pole weapon whose head is a large hook.
==Description==
A crude weapon, a guisarme is composed of a protruding hook at the end of a long shaft. Unlike other polearms that incorporate hooks such as halberds, becs de corbin, and fauchards, the hook on a guisarme is its defining feature and blade. The typical guisarmes of the French Revolution had heads which, aside from the downward-curving hook, was also sharpened so that it may simultaneously serve as a spearpoint. In this way, the guisarmes were adapted to not just slashing but thrusting attacks as well. Nevertheless, they were, alongside voulges, the weakest polearms of Paris during that period.Assassin's Creed: Unity
==History==
During the French Revolution, guisarmes were prevalent in Paris where they ranked as the most basic of pole weapons obtainable. The Assassin Arno Dorian of the Parisian Brotherhood as a new recruit used it in his training as a beginner's long weapon.

==Trivia==
*The guisarme, as the weakest long weapon in Assassin's Creed: Unity, serves as the player's default and starting long weapon. One other weapon, the voulge shares its poor stats but is a side-quest reward.
*The image of the guisarme in the menu for Unity and its companion app is taken at a poor angle where the hook on the weapon is on the opposite side and thus not visible, causing it to appear to be a spear.
