EDIT: I am pleased that hexbear liked this so much.
What the hell do shields have to do with poison, homie? You alright?

Block with a shield, enemy gets poisoned, continue blocking with shield, enemy dies and you're safe and sound. It's an efficient and synergistic combination!
Shield is not a weapon 
THE WALL
THE WALL
THE WALL
NO ONE ON EARTH CAN MAKE IT FALL
If you're in a shield wall you're bashing dudes with your shield as much or more than your spear.

Your picks are thoroughly incorrect
Nice try. 
the spear doubles as a magic rod
correct response, the spear is the all-time GOAT weapon

I put all of them on hammer
ok so a spear is basically a baby trident so it's gotta be water
It's pretty easy, really
I'm glad to see people correctly picking Water Spear
Not sure why, maybe the spear fighting in video games I've seen is usually pretty fluid/flowing (excellent source, I know)

i took nature to mean like, plants, and i think swords and flowers go good together
- Light shield to protect against the darkness
- Poison dagger, because poison coated dagger is a classic
- Darkness sword because it seems to be the most convenient to swing around in the dark when you don't see anything
- Thunder whip because they have a lot of similarity, long and thin, with a crack on impact
- Wind bow because the arrows fly through the air
- Nature claws because they remind me of a bear's claws
- Water spear because of Poseidon's trident
- Earth knuckle because fist fighting is a RETVRN to traditions
- Ice hammer for breaking the ice
- Fire axe because why not, they are the last ones
I can definitely understand poison dagger.
That whip choice is 
I stand by it, do your worst
Are we talking what kind of elemental affinity we'd assign to a weapon or what enchantment would work best with it?
whatever reasoning comes to you
like I keep going back and forth between "balrog's flaming whip" vs "whipcracks like thunder" vs "poison ivy plant manipulator"

a lot of these i'm not really that attached to but water-shield and ice-hammer seem super obvious to me
Death to America
Surprise is the best element for every weapon.
I like this
Posting my take before I wade into the struggle session
Adding reasoning:
Earth shield, obvious sturdy combo
Dark dagger, good for sneaking
Light sword, holy relic but still kinda basic
Ice axe, did this one last but it kinda still makes sense
Nature whip, pokemon vine whip need I say more
Wind bow, long shots, gusts can alter arrows trajectory
Fire claws, fast attacka make the cumulative damage add up quickly, similar to the poison knuckles reasoning
Water spear, sweeping fluid slashing and sharp, jet like stabs just fit water. Fluid yet forceful
Poison knuckles, rapid punches add up the poison damage fast
Thunder hammer, it's already a great big concussive hit, thunder just increases it
