Maybe some panels from this Brawl in the Family strip could do the trick. It's not a literal example, but seems straightforward enough.

Is the punchline that, even though axes are supposed to beat lances, the axe-wielder's attack is ineffective against the lance-wielder? Not that everything needs to be super obvious, but that took some figuring-out.

The two first panels kind of work, but the last one feels misleading, as that just looks like everything loses to him.

Oh I see: the weapons win or lose against each other, but they all lose against that guy. I didn't get it.

[up][up] Yeah... with the third panel, it looks more like Game-Breaker than anything else. I think the first two panels would be fine on their own.

[up]Yeah, I realized that too. Here are 2 versions of those 2 panels.

Maybe the last (or last two) panels of the comic could work over at GameBreaker.Fire Emblem?

Prefer horizontal.

Yeah, that's a problem. Eliminating the punchline improves the image, really.

Someone could probably find/make a picture of a pair of scissors physically cutting a rock.

On an unrelated note, with $20 a or so lever-operated woodcutting tool, I managed to cut through a medium-thickness tree. That's close to an example, although more so [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]

... I feel like a woodcutting tool cutting wood isn't really an example.

As for the BitF image, it's misleading because Frederick does actually have to deal with the weapon triangle disadvantage. A big part of the higher difficulties is killing the hammer users before they can kill Frederick.

And the GameBreaker.Fire Emblem page is a bad idea because Frederick is a Crutch Character (Oifey archetype) and loses his usefulness somewhat later on.
