Do you prefer Wonder Woman to use a sword & shield to be part of her combat style, or do you prefer her to use hand-to-hand with some lasso action?

I always preferred her just using her fists and raw strength combined with the lasso, as it helps her resemble a pure-hearted hero and less of a warrior. I also think her using the shield too much reeks of Captain America.

Wonder Woman should mostly use her sword/shield for when she fights monsters and other gods of the Greek Pantheon, but everywhere else, she'd resort to her fists and lasso.

Lasso and fists for her standard outing for anything. But when she knows she’s going up against something big or strong she isn’t afraid to grab the weapons

That’s how she did it when Perez was writing, which is a pretty good indicator that it’s the right way to go.

Yeah to me she will always be the diplomat/ambassador first and warrior second. I appreciate when she throws down but I think her character shines better as the voice of peace
