Dynasty Warriors Weapons Concept: Zhua

Here is a Dynasty Warriors weapon concept sketch for the Zhua Weapon, a Staff/whip with a hand-like claw. This is a Ancient Chinese weapon used for ripping off the shields and weapons off enemies and even grabbing riders of their horses. It was a mid-range weapon of Sun Tzu, a famous Chinese general, strategist and Philosopher of Ancient China. I decided to mix both the whip design and staff design of the Zhua, with the hand part attached to a rope so when it gets detached from the staff it can be swung around at longer distances. The Idea for the strong attacks to swing around enemies was due to how it can grab riders off of horses if the person was skilled with the Zhua.
