Whips and chains offer plenty of advantages in combat. Being able to hit your opponents from a distance with just a cool flick of the wrist is way too unrealistic to pass up. Then there are characters who use ordinary rope or string — the most basic, unweaponized version of the above — in battle as a tool. Sure, it might not be lethal (unless you're using a rope thick enough to cause severe abrasions), but you can use it to pull anything or anyone anywhere, restrict your opponent's movement or just get a hold on them, use tension or torsion to launch something, lay a trap for an unsuspecting foe... or just about anything else that can control the flow of a fight. Fiction allows for shenanigans like Variable-Length Chain and Instant Knots, so these characters can duplicate a Grappling-Hook Pistol to pull themselves around in settings that don't technologically allow for one. Of course, rope can be applied in ways like Razor Floss and Choke Holds where it can be lethal. Sometimes overlaps with Master of Threads. Characters like this tend to be along the lines of The Smart Guy, The Sneaky Guy, The Chessmaster, and the Combat Pragmatist thanks to the levels of complexity and deception that their rope tricks demand. This can also have several implications. Blade on a Rope is a sub-trope of this if the rope has, well blades at the end of it. Not related to Wire Fu. |

In this adventure, Kirby has to use his yarn body to solve puzzles in the yarn-and-cloth-ified world, frequently by turning them into ropes that interact with things or turning his body into various shapes. | |

Redwall: Mariel fights with "Gullwhacker", a length of heavy rope with large, hard knots at the ends that make it an effective bludgeoning weapon. When she first washes up on the beach with Identity Amnesia and the rope tied to her, she uses it as an Improvised Weapon out of necessity, but later designs several other versions and even names herself after it. | |

Decim from Death Parade is able to manipulate a seemingly infinite amount of strings as his power. Regular humans are unable to break them, and he’s able to magically put someone to sleep with them. While he usually only uses them to carry people or restrain guests who become violent, he’s also used them to hurl furniture at a coworker who angered him. | |

Mario Party: Island Tour: The minigame Git Along, Goomba has the characters stand respectively on round wooden platforms that surround a large stand with Goombas. Each character has to spin a lasso and then throw it at the stand to capture as many Goombas as possible (the more a character spins their lasso, the bigger its diameter will be, giving them the chance to capture a larger Goomba crowd). After 30 seconds, the character who captured the most Goombas will win. | |

No Retreat, No Surrender 2 has Yuri's mercenaries, a group of monks, who ambushes Scott and his group with ropes, easily tying up the trio within moments and would've captured the heroes if Mac didn't sneak a knife with him into the camp. Doubles as a Chekhov's Skill later in the finale; when outmatched by Yuri, Scott remembers the battle with the monks, quickly grabs a nearby rope, and ties up Yuri, turning the tide of battle around. | |

The Phantom of the Opera: Erik travelled throughout the world after running away from home when young. During his travels, he visited India, where he learned to kill people using the Punjab lasso (essentially, a weaponized hangman's noose). The Punjab lasso that Erik wields is "curiously made from catgut"; the only way to escape it is to keep one's hand raised to eye level, thus preventing the loop from closing. | |

Batman: The titular hero made frequent use of this fighting style prior to Batman (1989) and subsequent adaptations making the Grappling-Hook Pistol his Iconic Item. Particularly notable in 70's-90's era Batman, where a batrope attached to a batarang (combining this trope and Battle Boomerang) was used both to facilitate a Building Swing when required, as well as to entangle and ensnare Bat-foes as needed. | |

In the Malazan Book of the Fallen, an alternative name for the Patron God of Assassins, Cotillion, is "the Rope", which is his chosen weapon. The way its use is described in battle is reminiscent of a variably long whip, although him being the Patron of Assassins a garrotte is another possible use for it. Justified considering Cotillion is a Physical God and has shadow magic at his disposal to aid with his rope's efficiency. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar prefers to fight with rope and string in Battle Tendency when he's not relying on Improvised Weapon Confusion Fu. He first uses a network of string to manipulate Straizo into blowing himself up with a dozen grenades. Next, he outsmarts Esidisi by using a cut and restore rope trick to allow him to land the finishing blow, and lastly turns around a battle with Kars with another rope trick and plenty of misdirection. Joseph continues this trend in Stardust Crusaders when he gains the vine-like Stand called Hermit Purple. Also in Stardust Crusaders, Kakyoin's Stand; Hierophant Green, is able to unravel its body into long ropes. These ropes can function as normal bindings (like during the fight with Wheel of Fortune) or as spears (as Tower of Gray found out), but the fight with DIO reveals that Kakyoin can also use these ropes as tripwires that fire off powerful Emerald Splashes whenever they're touched. Jolyne Cujoh in Stone Ocean is able to use her Stand, Stone Free, to unravel her body into string. She uses this ability to create nets, bindings, communication devices, pickpocket other people, and to transport herself and others around an area. Fittingly, she also has a spider motif. Mountain Tim's Oh! Lonesome Me in Steel Ball Run allows him to break his body apart and travel across a rope from his body. Even when he's not using his Stand, he's also skilled at using a lasso. |

Spider-Man: The titular hero utilizes his webbing like this as much as he uses it to actually web things like a traditional spider. This is particularly noticeable in video games, where it's often used to make a flail-like weapon out of rubble or unfortunate mooks, as well as slingshots to launch Spider-Man at enemies at high speed. Montana of the Enforcers is a straighter example. He's a cowboy-themed villain whose main weapon is naturally a lasso. |

Roxie, the boss of Babel Tower in Crusader of Centy, is a rope-like monster. Upon entering the boss room, all there is is a rope to climb that, as it turns out, hangs from nowhere. It then falls down and forms the outline of a silhouette, which is Roxie. Any physical attack performed by Roxie is therefore a rope-based attack. | |

The heroine of The Thundering Sword (played by kung-fu queen Cheng Pei-Pei) has a lengthy fight scene, where she's not supposed to kill or hurt anyone, despite her enemies being armed with swords. So instead she grabs a long coil of rope and expertly ties all of them together after a short fight. | |

Sam Porter Bridges from Death Stranding uses ropes to parry attacks and bind enemies; useful, since every dead body summons a Beached Thing that can quite literally annihilate cities. | |

Journey to the West: the novel's version of Prince Nezha has him wielding a demon-subduing rope as part of his six weapons. Much later, the two half-hulijing brothers Gold Horn and Silver Horn possess the treasure known as the Golden Canopy Rope, a magical golden rope that can tie itself around anything when ordered. Sun Wukong tries to use it against Silver Horn, but the demon is able to turn the tables on the Monkey King. | |

The kung-fu film The Deadly Breaking Sword has the plucky protagonist (played by Alexander Fu Sheng) being ambushed by several mooks armed with ropes. But he skillfully dodges all their attacks and tricks his would-be captors to tie each other up instead. | |

Wario World: One of Spideraticus' attacks is to spit Glue Globes out on his web-lines trying to get Wario stuck, and then suck them back in. Doing so allows Wario to get close enough for a Ground Pound. | |

When Mary joined to Knights in King Arthur & the Knights of Justice, Merlin gave her a Rope of Strength in case anyone needed to be pulled from the mud. She did just that, but also used it for combat purposes by halting the arm of the Boulder Basher. | |

The second Once Upon a Time in China has Commander Nap Lan (played by Donnie Yen), who specializes in rope-based martial arts to constrict and strangle his opponents, and gives the hero Wong Fei-Hung one hell of a tough battle. Nap Lan's rope whip can even shatter a wooden crate in one scene! | |

The final shootout of Tiger on Beat has Francis being pinned behind a barricade by gunfire. Francis noticed a coil of rope nearby, so he instead tied the rope to his shotgun and... voila, a yo-yo shotgun which easily helps Francis take down half a dozen mooks without needing him to break cover. | |

The weapon chosen by Katherine in Broken Puppet is thread and needles. The needles serve as anchor points for the thread only. Once two needles are thrown, connected by the thread, Katherine can make the thread pull tight with a simple hand move. Most enemies are defeated by directly pulling a body part off or out, but the boss needs to be hit with dynamite first, which is also done by means of the thread. | |
