The '''ikwa''' is a neolithic melee weapon that deals heavy stabbing damage.
 
The '''ikwa''' is a neolithic melee weapon that deals heavy stabbing damage.

It is crafted at a smithy using {{Required Resources}}, and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}} }} of work.

== Analysis ==

It is crafted at a smithy using 60 units of any metallic or wooden [[materials|material]], and {{ticks|5000}} of work.
−
Ikwa are strictly inferior to the [[gladius]], which deals more damage, has more {{AP}}, and attacks just as fast, for the exact same material and [[research]] cost. While an ikwa's mid-tier damage types include ''Blunt'' and ''Poke'' (gladius only has ''Blunt''), this has no functional difference. The only advantage of the ikwa is that tribal [[raider]]s may wield them, which industrial colonies can [[electric smelter|smelt]] back into steel.
 
  
−
If you obtain one before Smithing is unlocked, ikwa are weaker for DPS than even a [[knife]] of the same material and quality, after accounting for the melee verb system. The ikwa is ever so slightly better against armor, but most (if not all) enemies won't carry any remotely heavy armor during the time you're using an ikwa.

This section goes over how well the ikwa fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

* All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease
 +
* All pawns have a skill level of 8 in melee

* No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance

Results in the table below are the percentages of battles that ikwas either won or tied against the weapon listed in the first column of said table, with a sample size of 2,000 battles per result. Higher percentages are better.

The following armor categories are:

* '''Unarmored - '''[[Plainleather]] [[button-down shirt]] and plainleather [[pants]]

* '''Flak - '''[[Steel]] [[simple helmet]], [[flak jacket]], [[flak vest]], plainleather button-down shirt and [[flak pants]]
