Pole Flail

The Pole Flail is a new weapon introduced for the fan-made-game Monster Hunter 3 - A New Age. It is characterized by its length, damage output, and elemental abilities. This weapon becomes available to the hunter at tier 3, when a mysterious traveler leaves a strange box containing one in the player's Item Box.

In-Game Description
A long, whiplike weapon that makes use of its length and elemental whip to destroy foes from afar. Admittedly hard to master, but utilizes a huge variety of attacks to overcome enemies.

Description and Moveset
This weapon is unusually long, roughly the same length as the average hunter's height. It is carried diagonally on the back using a strap, and at its end possesses a large coiling whip.

The whip is almost always endowed with an elemental ability. In the first few, it is either Fire or Water, but later on it can be anything from Ice to Dragon element. It is one of two weapons in MH ANA that can be empowered by either Frenzy Virus or the Fury Toxin. The other weapon type is Dragon Artillery.
