So i just noticed the lack of any shadow/fire swords and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to make a 5* winmillion, however I didnt want other damage types left out so I paired elemental with shock and piercing with poison (because that combo only exists in plague needle so far) and normal damage with no status but higher damage than the others do to neutral enemies to make it somewhat usefull.

A certain friend of mine has made the actual skins so that its possible to view how they would look in-game all credit for those skins goes to Tandrevskiv.

I still need names to all of these so feel free to suggest your names. (credit goes to you when names are picked)
current suggestions:
Dark-Fire: Shadowflame Splitter (by Flame-Shinobi), Promethius' Bane (by Gigaslash), Infernostorm (by Horseclaw)
Poison-Pierce: Venefirous Aurum (Literally means Poison Gold in Latin) (by Flame-Shinobi), Poison Gale (by Gigaslash), Vilewind (by Horseclaw)
Shock Ele: Terawatt Tempest (by Flame-Shinobi), Storm Arc (by Gigaslash), Supercell (by Horseclaw)
Normal: Quixote (by Mayuri-Kurotsuchi), Winfinity (by someone awesome), Gigaslash (obviously Gigaslash)

P.S.: for anyone who doesnt know how to view the skins ingame its already named winmillion_skin for convenience, just replace the actual winmillion skin with this one (or the others) and then restart your client to look at it ingame (or via spiral spy) (may not work now due to outdated skins)

A certain friend of mine will be making the actual skins so that its possible to view how they would look in-game (Tandrevskiv is working on it) all credit for those skins goes to him of course.

I made some screenshots. I

I made some screenshots. I like them a bit, but I'm not gonna lie- they need some work, as well as icons. They aren't that far off from being close enough to the existing quality of the weapons and gear in game.

Another thing is the particle effect and projectiles. Finding a way to reskin those could be a huge asset to this suggestion, but may not be possible or necessary.

You can change the color of the vortex thingy with spiralspy, but i am not sure if thats an acceptable preview for yous

Im not sure how to reskin the projectiles. But i'll do my best updating these skin.

the swirly vortex particles have been colour changed in spiral spy so here are the screenshots (will also put these in OP)

Fezhor: I'm not the best at reskinning things perfectly and besides, this is only meant as a rough sketch of the idea, with the amount of promos going on I'm pretty sure the art team could easily make proper skins (not complaining about the promos because I do understand that they are needed)

Idk

I kind of liked the idea of the winmillion being pure normal damage +0.5 for completing the line

Tandrevskiv's picture
Tandrevskiv
Im gonna start working on a normal damage one later

^^^^^^

Dragon-Mute's picture
Dragon-Mute

pretty sure my post stated thered be a normal damage on too, also these would all deal pure damage so no split normal/specialized, full damage would be comparable to brandishes however its split so that 2/3 comes from main hit and 1/3 comes from projectile

Cetren's picture
Cetren
Really?

So I guess the leviathan should deal piercing and shadow as well huh?

Holy-Nightmare's picture

@Cetren

The shadow one would be nice for polyps, giant lichens and shielded menders while the pierce would probably be most effective against trojans.

We already have FOV so we dont need an elemental one.

Dragon-Mute's picture
Dragon-Mute

considering the gunner update they might as well do that for levi xd

now back to my actual suggestion (make a new one for the levi thing if you rlly want to)

Tandrevskiv's picture
Tandrevskiv
Well

The elemental one has shock not fire and no normal damage. Now back to our suggestion

Dark-Fire: Shadowflame Splitter

Oh its fine and I do appreciate your effort and understand exactly where you're coming from. My thought process is that if you do an awesome job, Three Rings would have no excuses for not using them. If you do a mediocre job, it illustrates where you're coming from, but it would still be work for Three Rings.

The end goal, should be to have players modding the game as much as possible and for that to become the norm, even if it has to be entirely via Spiral Spy for the longest time. If the dev team is small, then perhaps they could use help.

Flame-Shinobi: I like the names (although venefirous sounds somewhat weird, but I still like it) I was thinking of somethign with tempest for the ele one too so I'll put them in OP with credit to you. (any idea on what a normal damage 5* winmillion would be named?)

Fehzor: I guess I could ask on treasure vault for someone who could do it properly although I wouldn't be able to pay them or something (if that's an issue)
Also i understand where you're coming from (I saw the eyes, they look good), also since making skins already means OOO has to do less work on it it'd mean there's a higher chance they might put it ingame was my reckoning although both me and Tanrevskiv agree that the skins aren't perfect.

Soooooo....

My brother Mayuri-Kurotsuchi. Suggested this as a 5* Winmillion.
Normal Damage
Chance of Curse & Stun.
Name: Quixote

Sounds cool right?

Dragon-Mute's picture
Dragon-Mute

the reason I didn't give the normal damage one a status was because the rest of the line doesn't have a status either, it has extra damage to compensate though, so that it would be a normal weapon that might actually have a use, not giving it a status justifies a giving it that extra boost and it being normal already makes it so it should get a little more damage than the others (against neutral enemies ofcourse)

I'll take the name until a better suggestion comes along though. (so your brother is a death god? awesome)

Pi: if anything it's got to be Winfinity =P

Mtax: thanks, Tand has put in a lot of effort for the skins after i asked him nicely and I kind of just wanted a shadow sword that has the fire status (elemental, piercing and normal were more of an afterthought) =P

Other names...

In a different thread, people discussed a 5* Winmillon and named it Gale Force and Winfinity, among others. Hurricane also fits in.

I do like Gale Force, any idea who came up with that?

No, I can't remember. Might have been Fehzor, but I'm no sure.

Texture?

I do not know if I have the right term for it but in regards to the texture of the swords, would it be at all possible to do the following:
* Make the ridges on the piercing sword a little more jagged?
* Replace the orange highlights on the shadow sword with a gold tint?
* Smooth the ridges on the elemental sword?

Dragon-Mute's picture
Dragon-Mute

Arelic: I think that could be done, I like the idea of extra jagged edges on piercing and less on elemental (because its not meant for physical cutting, being elemental damage and all), not sure why gold on shadow though, but if more people agree sure

To everyone: if anyone has some spare time to do some proper textures feel free to do so, please post a link to them if you do make some that you're satisfied with so people can view them ingame or on spiral spy.

About names...

Gigaslash is acctually a suitable Name for normal damage. Gj Gigaslash your Name is awesome!

@tan

Oh, thanks :P
Your right, gigaslash would be a viable name for a normal win million.
If your wondering where I came up with the name, it's a move from the dragon quest series.

bump.

I've spent the past 10 minutes searching for this. I found it a few months back, and I have to say, the idea is meh, but the textures. How do you do that? For Spiral Knights? And has anyone else done this? And could someone possibly make a texture pack? Like, people could make individual textures for each piece of gear, but you as the player could input them into the files and then play with a completely different look. Someone, expand upon this for me.

spiralspy can be really useful, ive seen a ton of great original ideas that look exactly like its already in game, I like the concept, but where's the picture used for the "winfinity"
I think it should be a sort of dark blue (because if u look at the line it becomes more and more bluish)
possibly with a darker swirly thing too

having a 5 star winmillion

having a 5 star winmillion would be over powered, the winmillion is already powerful as it is.

Got the skins, but they didn't render correctly in Spiral Spy 1.5 (They just showed up white). Certainly a great concept though, I want an upgrade for my Winmillion :D. And why not make them all deal different damage types in the same amount, and have the Normal one inflict Freeze?

Name ideas:
Fire/Shadow: Infernostorm
Pierce/Poison: Vilewind
Elemental/Shock: Supercell (Refers to a massive thunderstorm that can summon a tornado)
Normal: Breezecutter
(Or if changed to Normal/Freeze: Blizzbreeze)

horse, instead of breezecutter try winfinity or something, makes more sense, instead of blizzbreeze call it the frostbiter

Sword names

Oohnorak, Winfinity isn't a name I made up. Someone else did. And about the name "Frostbiter", I'm pretty sure the Normal variation won't get a status effect, and besides, I was going for wind and air puns.

I know you didnt make it up, I think it makes more sense though

and for frostbiter I meant for when you suggested it as normal freeze

Did you try... reading?

As you clearly missed, Vohtarak, I was coming up with names that were wind puns. Could anyone help me with previewing the skins? They just show up white in Spiral Spy.

Dragon-Mute's picture
Dragon-Mute
forgive me

sorry for letting the thread slip into oblivion, I just kind off got bored with SK (still sortoff am, but i thought i'd check the thread)

Horseclaw: the viewing problems are probably due to the textures being made for an older version of spiral spy (and i havent used/updated it in a while, no idea about Tand), Definetly like InfernoStorm, Vilewind, Supercell and breezecutter, wind puns ftw (i like the suggestion of normal gaining freeze, although my idea was it stays "pure", this is open for debate)

Vohtarak: as stated above, i like Horseclaws' names, however i cant get the name winfinity out of my head, if i havent put it up there i'll do so now (if anyone knows who thought of it first please tell me so i can give credit to them)

Everyone: vote for names please, and if you like the idea give it a +1 or something (ill keep count and put it in the main post)
