A '''spiked chain''' is a type of two-handed [[weapon]] that appears in ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''.<br />
<br />
These variants also add an artifact spiked chain, the [[Chains of Malcanthet]]. It is unaligned, confers [[warning]] when wielded, targets [[angel]]s, and can [[paralyze]] it's targets.<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
<br />
Spiked chains are rare.<br />
<br />
==Strategy==<br />
<br />
Can be used in melee and applied like a polearm with equal effectiveness. Arguably the most useful non-artifact weapon in SpliceHack or Hack'EM.<br />
<br />
In SpliceHack it is possible to forge a spiked chain by one of these recipes:<br />
<br />
* IRON_CHAIN + DAGGER<br />
* IRON_CHAIN + KNIFE<br />
<br />
In Hack'EM it is possible to create one by #crafting an iron chain and a shuriken together. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The spiked chain first appears in [[SpliceHack]].<br />
