Prime candidates for this are long rope-ish weapons that tangle or stop at the first thing hit, but games have a habit of making every weapon cleave through all opponents as if they were nothing more substantial than air, so this should not be a limiting trait.
Whips not used as weapons usually belong to what
grappling hook tag describes.
