I know there are many posts about lances, but I'm making a specific one on the item itself, the name would be "The Hope Bringer". The stats would be like this at 0 heat:

2 star: piercing damage doing 40-60 damage on enemies not weak to piercing or resistant, 20-30 damage to enemies resistant to piercing, and 70-90 damage to enemies weak to piercing. +10-15 damage with charge attack. Speed: about as fast a brandish. Design: vamplate and shaft a cool steel color, truncheon colored gold with player colored light glowing from out of the open part of the vamplate.

3 star: piercing damage doing 70-80 damage on non weak or resistant enemies, 20-40 damage on resistant enemies, and 70-120 damage to weak enemies. +15-20 damage with charge attack. Speed: same as 2 star version. Design: same as 2 star version only longer truncheon and shaft, light glows brighter.

4 star: piercing damage and elemental damage, piercing doing 80-100 damage, and elemental doing 50-70 damage if enemy is not weak or resistant to both piercing and elemtental damage, the weapon does 30-50 damage vs enemies resistant to both elemental and piercing, and 70-90 vs enemies resistant to one or the other (obviously if you attack a beast, which is weak to piercing but resistant to elemental, it will take damage as if it wasn't weak or resistant to either). the weapon will do a total of 250-300 damage vs enemies weak to both piercing and elemental (no idea which those are, or if there even is one). +20-30 damage with charge. Slight chance of doing medium shock. Speed: the speed of a swift flourish. Design: The shaft and vamplate are now a pristine white, the truncheon is now partly wrapped with black cloth, and has a blue crystal pommel. The light is even brighter, and the weapon itself gives off a slight white glow.

5 star: piercing and elemental damage, piercing doing 150-200 damage, and elemental doing 80-100 damage if enemy is not weak or resistant to either. The damage types are canceled depending on which of these (if any) damage types the enemy is resistant to. If the enemy is weak to one of the damage types, that damage type does an increased 50-60 damage. Good chance of causing medium shock. Speed: slightly faster than the 4 star version. Design: same as 4 star version except the tip is silver, the shaft and staff are longer, the crystal bigger and upon charge, white wings faintly glow on your back, the white glow is slightly brighter.

Attack pattern (for all star ratings):

1st move: a spinning slash towards your right with the lance outward

2nd move: a spin around to the left, which ends with a jab forward

Final move: a powerful thrust forward

Charge attack: a quick, ferocious lunge forward, you thrust at your enemy midair and do some knockback.

Hope you like it!
