Sword, obviously. Long historical and mythological tradition associated with swords on fire, from Archangel Michael's sword to that of the giant Surtr. Though sword is a versatile tool associated with a lot of elements, fire fits best. >water
Trident of course. A literal tool of fishing as well as the weapon of many sea gods like Poseidon, the ancient gladiators literally used it alongside fishing nets in combat. >earth
Hammer. While no overt association like the former two, it carries a lot of connections nonetheless. A tool literally used to shape the metals found in earth, and has the same blunt force properties of earth. Can be depicted with one side as a pick, to further make it associated with earth. >thunder
Bow, or projectiles in general I suppose. Bow is just the most iconic. The association here is obvious, both are primarily ranged forms of attacks. Though no overt association with lightning in mythology, the myths that most prominently use bows, Indian ones, often liken the sound of legendary bows' strings being pulled and released to the cracking of lightning. Hell, the arrows used in crossbows are literally called bolts. A very obvious fit. >wind
Unfortunately, most commonly associated with swords too. From the Japanese Grass-cutter to Irish Fragarach, the most common weapon associated is a sword. There are non-weapon objects associated with wind like bags and fans and such, but those do not apply to our purposes. But I am hesitant to repeat sword again, so I will bullshit my reasoning into making it fit a spear instead. Spears fit remarkably well, their long range and ability to be thrown fitting perfectly, and the whoosh-whoosh sounds of swinging around large sticks fit perfectly, trust me.
If we were just focusing on the four primary elements of fire, wind, earth and water, that'd be a no-brainer, but OP threw lightning into the mix and lightning bows are just a favorite of mine. Please understand bro.
Also when you flourish a spear it's spinning like a windmill blade, totally wind bro.
I genuinely do not remember her bow being a wind property one, even if Artemis herself had some association with wind, so I'll just take your word for it.
Since OP added a fifth element (lol Cordon Dallas multipass) then surely you'd go for "spear of lightning"?
You can bullshit really any weapon into fitting lightning, as all the different lightning gods have their own things going on. Thor's got a hammer, Zeus got his thunderbolts which you can liken to javelins, Indra's got a staff-like object that's also a bolt, Susano'o had a sword, the whole range. Non-god thunder properties are exceptionally rare so there's not a lot of other examples to find some consistency. Personally, I think a ranged weapon fits better, javelins probably fit the image of a bolt better but my entire post is just personal preference wrapped in flavor text to make it sound legit.
>Non-god thunder properties are exceptionally rare.
True, but if you don't just think of antiquity but include go up to recent history then we've got a shitloads to pick from, starting with Ben Franklin's iron rod and finishing with Tesla Coils (and depending on your definition of lightning, Gauss-Effect Railguns). That's of course without going into quake 3's LG or the banality of Borderlands where any given weapon can be assigned any given property. >I genuinely do not remember her bow being a wind property one
Honestly, I was going off of memory myself, I was under impression she used the bow to cause the Trojan ships to sink. I don't actually see a source, could be conjecture, could be misrememberance, honestly I just wanted an excuse to call someone a dick-faced Philistine this morning.
That's an interesting way of looking at it. I suppose that makes sense, lightning as an element has really gained wider prominence in modern times, so using modern examples can give you a better source of references to work with. Besides what you mentioned like lightning rods being literal poles, there's wires can be whip-like objects and whips even make loud cracking sounds, depending on the user's size you can even go with something ridiculous like a utility pole being used with lightning properties. There's a lot of ways to creatively play with lightning now.
>Though no overt association with lightning in mythology
How about Zeus throwing fricking lightning bolts like spears? You're right in your association with projectiles, but you made a mistake on the weight class. A javelin or spear fits lightning a lot better than a bow and it can be used as projectile as well.

Name another
>Trident of course. A literal tool of fishing as well as the weapon of many sea gods like Poseidon
Name another.
>sword
There's historical precedent of sword blades being made into flame shaped, like flammenschwert/flamberge greatswords and flambard rapiers. Kalki is also said to wield flaming swords and according to google, Asaruludu is a Sumerian deity holding flaming swords. >trident
More Greek fricks, but Nereus and Oceanus.
is wet
And brother? I hurt people.
water whip
nunchucks
Ice Mace and Earth Hammer
the only water type weapon is a trident that summons a torrent of water
earth is a hammer or caestus
whip
JAVALIN
Water gun
Trident
Trident, duh. And before you ask, the earth warhammer.
For me it's Lightning Bow, Water Sword, Fire Hammer (or as we call it in the biz, Boomhammer) and Earth Shield.
>Wheel
Im gonna bet people to death with a wet wheel.
Gun.
spjut
Spjut.
whats water gonna fricking do

Diana/Artemis (Goddess of hunting) had a wind bow you pleb, you dick-faced Philistine.
I genuinely do not remember her bow being a wind property one, even if Artemis herself had some association with wind, so I'll just take your word for it.
