Talk:Quinque/@comment-62.195.2.174-20150619164905/@comment-26509016-20150627082753

I thought about it a lot as well. For a pretty long time. My conclussion is kinda like this:

Bikaku: As already said, balances. Makes sense, since bikaku-type ghouls are said to be very balanced too, in terms of their bodies and their kagune. It's probably like this: - Little bit above-average densety, therefore a bit heavier and harder than usual - Little bit easier than other RC-types, therefore the weight is probably on an average level again while still displaying a slightly increased deffensive power Rinkaku: Logically, this type suffers from many disadvantages if used as a quinque. The strenght of a rinkaku-type ghoul are his high regenerative ability and raw strenght. The high regeneration comes due to the fact that the RC-cells are very "liquid-like" and can easily addapt to wounds, closing them fast. The raw strenght comes due to the fact that the kagune simply has a high raw strenght due to that type (a kagune is basically still like a muscle) (If the body of a ghoul itself displays the same increased strenght is unknown as far as I know). However, a quinque is mostly static, it's not used like a muscle anymore, just like normal steel. Therefore the increased strenght is invalid. Exceptions (probably) are quinques like Fueguchi I. Furthermore the regenerative ability only counts as an advantage if the said quinque is able to regenerate itself, and that's something we didn't see till now. And lastly we have to keep in mind that rinkaku-type kagunes are very brittle. Therefore, I think it's like this: - Average in weight - Very brittle However, that's all just according to what we know untill now. It wouldn't make sense to create any rinkaku-quinques if all that was true. There should actually still be an increased impact or whatsoever, something that still makes this RC-type a valid choice to create a quinque out of it. Koukaku: obvious. -Very hard, therefore very good in terms of deffense -Very heavy as well, watch yur steps Ukaku: Said to be very easy. A kagune with that RC-type can be made into a long-range weapon. - Easy, therefore the owner can strike faster - No increased deffense or whatsoever - Enemies can block your attacks easy - (If used as, for example, a gun) able to shoot enemies from higher distances

So... that's how I see it at least.
