Actually, compared to other weapons, Tonfa is pretty OP:


 * Can cut tails potentially


 * Is blunt


 * Two modes


 * Air attacks


 * Can run with it unsheathed


 * Ect.

BUT!... You have to kill...:


 * Several Rebi


 * Several G monsters


 * 2 GHC Guren


 * And several other annoying task...

Just to unlock the prototype. Then supreme Teo to have free crafting. THEN YOU GRIND SR (that is where I am). Only at SR999 you can change styles and have complete rule over Tonfas. Basically, you have to grind for a few weeks to get Tonfas. Even then, all other weapons get buffed quite a bit. But Tonfas are well worth the grind. They are hell of a lot of fun to use.
