Shouldn't certain reskinned items have natural enemy UVs given on them for free?
Cleavers while reskins of troika lines should get a Beast damage UV to put it in line with the description. (you put meat on a chopping block)
Slime node Crushers should obviously have slime damage. (duh)
Charcoaler- construct (the only other "robot" esqe beings)
Spiral soaker - Undead (dry foes)
Furious fork - beast
And this could be applied to future events (and limiting it to just monster UVs means they are fair in pvp)
This is actually a really good idea, because it would allow for unique and interesting items that don't kill the variant market OR impose a straight upgrade from free versions of the weapon like the celestial sabre does.
I had typed this up exactly as I would interpret it here- http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/106102
Specifically, I would like them to be UVs. Not like wild hunting blade has, but UVs like we get from punch. If you rolled on it, you would lose the innate bonus.
