As the Tiger’s Truncheon is not yet listed in the wiki (and my wiki-fu is poor, so I’m not about to add it myself lol), I took the trouble of getting the damage stats for a number’s comparison:
Heavy-weight Truncheon Light Attack (No thrall) = 50
Heavy-weight Truncheon Heavy Attack (No thrall) = 55
Tiger’s Truncheon Light Attack = 90
Tiger’s Truncheon Heavy Attack = 120
Not only does the Tiger’s Truncheon do significantly more concussive damage than the Heavy-weight Truncheon, but it uses the 1-handed mace moveset, meaning you can chain more attacks than a standard truncheon, up to 6 if you spam the heavy attacks, but at least 4 hits using light attacks, thus:
3-hit light attack combo with Heavy-weight Truncheon (No thrall) = 150 damage
3-hit heavy attack combo with Heavy-weight Truncheon (No thrall) = 165 damage
4-hit light attack combo with Tiger’s Truncheon = 360 damage
6-hit heavy attack combo with Tiger’s Truncheon = 480 damage
So, from purely a number’s perspective, the Tiger’s Truncheon dominates. Add into the equation that you also get shield-smash and a knockdown with the 4th heavy attack, the Tiger’s Truncheon is the clear winner.
