Um, it helps if you tell us your race. For Giants, Iron Mace is the best ego. THE best.
Otherwise, i've never seen anybody else with a blunt ego before. People mostly go for swords and bows.

Like above person said, Iron Mace pretty much outdamage Mace for egos. If you are humans, gladius allows for dual wield as well as single weild.

Mace egos usually aren't considered that much, (Everyone uses sword or bow.) unless you want your mace to be like the specific colors from the gachapons. Use something like a shield though, and a defense/protection set if you intend to make a mace ego. Damage isn't too bad, but I think the other egos, though not blunt weapons would still do more damage and be worth it more getting, even if it's a little more expensive. Gladius would probably be a good start, or Bastard sword in terms of prices.
Humans should use a Muramasa, because it has high damage output at the end.. A Gladius is a compensated version of that, sort of, and cheaper version too. Probably would be most efficient if you dual wielded with those egos and another weapon with upgrades. Same as a Bastard Sword, which comes in the same colors about as the maces from the gachapons do.
If you're more of the ranged type build, then try a Wing Bow, if you're going to be using AR a lot. It's fast loading + the bonus range really helps. The damage is so-so compared with other possible egos though.
Ring bows have pretty decent dmaage as an ego too at lower Strength levels on the ego itself, so if aiming for damage try that.
Overall, I think... Mace ego would most likely be best for a defensive set, while Gladius for an offensive set. But if you get a Warhammer with upgrades and have the 270+ dex, then I think that would be easier than the mace ego's leveling to get that high damage you want off of it.
Gladius is probably better if you dual wield/Windmill. If you're specializing in Smash, then go with a 2h Dustin Silver Knight sword ego, in terms of damage. The larger Windmill range compensates for the damage through Windmill lost from dual wielding.
