A scythe-like weapon, deals shadow.
I shall explain more about it.
Scythe: 2*, shadow on charge only, charge is a cloud of purple shooting from blade
Dead scythe: 3*, shadow (always), slight chance of minor curse, charge is a purple scythe shooting out
Shade's scythe: 4*, same as above, better attack
Soul Striker: 5*, shadow, slight chance of causing good curse, charge is a purple mist, making dust zombies crawl out of the ground, then disappearing, purely for looks, the radious is circling you, about the radious of a bomb explosion, most likely dealing less damage.
That is the scythe. Another weapon, this one branching off the Calibur.
Hero's Blade: 3*, piercing, shoots out beam of light on charge
Ironwill Hero's Blade: 4*, same as above, better attack, shoots 3 beams of light on charge
Heavenly Hero's Blade: 5*, same as above, better attack, shoots out a close-ish range beam slice all around on charge
Please comment if you support my idea, or have any other ideas for it, as long as your comment is polite, and consists of no swearing!
Trymal
Are these pure damage or split? (Only Shadow/Only Piercing or both Normal-Shadow/Normal-Pierce)
How many hits in the attack combos?
Charges change too much (if I read that correctly). I wouldn't like it if my charge shot lasers, and then at 5* the laser ranges are reduced.
If I'm correct about the scythe charge, I get some sort of AoE attack on the charge, then a projectile, and then a Troika-like slam (but you can move, and probably faster, and with less damage and knockback)?
And -1 to the 2* scythe dealing normal, and shadow on the charge. How would that even be shown on the stats bar?
And what do you mean "minor explosion"? How large is it (in tiles)?
