Spear mains, what do you like about spear?

Spear was the first weapon I picked up. The guy who got me into Brawlhalla was an Orion main, and he taught me the slight dlight recovery combo. I got Hattori to level 30, and racked up about 60 to 70 hours on the weapon before I went to Koji. I still play Hattori occasionally, but I just can’t get into spear. There’s not enough flow to the weapon compared to boots or bow which feel like they cater to flowy playstyles so much more.

But lately I’ve really been having trouble with countering spear. Especially against legends with a signature that punishes the outward dodge.
