Today I'm happy to report that I've found a way to make the family whip much more useful in H2. Before, it dealt +8 bonus damage vs. undead, was ATK +1, was 1 handed, and really fast. That was pretty cool however it was far from legendary IMO.
I asked my testers / design contributors on how I should go about increasing its power and a few good ideas were bandied about.
Ultimately, I decided that the whip will not only deal bonus damage vs. undead, it will outright destroy them in a single hit. No matter what their HPs are, boss enemy or not. I feel this gives the player a real sense of WOW, HOLY SHIT THIS IS AN AWESOME WEAPON, and before it just didn't.
I've since made every instance of undead able to be OHK'd be the whip, and added a new sfx and graphical effect when they're struck by it. The whip is still kind of hard to get, and undead aren't in the entire game, so I don't think it's game-breaking or anything like that.
Hooray!
