| Overview |
A mace is a blunt weapon, a type of club or virge that uses a heavy head on the end of a handle to deliver powerful strikes. A mace typically consists of a strong, heavy, wooden or metal shaft, often reinforced with metal, featuring a head made of stone, bone, copper, bronze, iron, or steel.
The head of a military mace can be shaped with flanges or knobs to allow greater penetration of plate armour. The length of maces can vary considerably. The maces of foot soldiers were usually quite short (two or three feet, or sixty to ninety centimetres). The maces of cavalrymen were longer and thus better suited for blows delivered from horseback. Two-handed maces could be even larger.
In Mortal Kombat

This weapon was used by the Netherrealm's great sorcerer Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat Gold. Although by Deadly Alliance and Armageddon. He would replace the Mace with dual Dao swords.
