New alchemy path for the Sealed Sword

Recently discovered that there was an old sealed sword design that looked green, like a green avenger. While seeing this, i thought that a new sword can be recreated from this design with the green texture similar to the yellow of avenger and pink for the faust. This sword could be pure normal damage and carried on properties that the sealed sword would have, such as the random status inflict and the ring beams. This sword, despite being pure normal, could be slighty faster than the faust/avenger counterparts and compared to other normal swords such as leviathan or the ones in the troika line [i dont know what the sword is called xD] could be a balance between quickness of leviathan and strength of the troikas. The charge attack can also be developed into more broad beams that travel instead of being stationary, albiet not very far comparing the faust/avenger to keep it balanced, still keeping with the sealed sword charge that inflicts status to their complementary colors.

I really loved the original design of the sealed sword and i do not know why they changed this, so i would really love this old design to be recreated into a new sword :)

My naming suggestions are for the line are:

Sealed Sword-> Unravled Sword-> Enigma
You can give your own suggestions! Id love to hear your ideas.

This would be the 4* sword: http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/8/8c/Sealed_Sword_Charge.png -this was the old sealed sword design.
This would be the 5* sword: http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/326/4/b/sealed_by_triplescrew...

P.S- I thought of this idea and i thought it was original, but some research has told me there are numerous threads that discuss this to but some of them are complex since they are only considering the specifications of this sword to a horrendous extent that it isnt worth discussing xD I have given very simple specs that you may wish to develop, but keeping in mind it has to retain its Sealed Sword properties :)

If you think my idea is stupid, please feel free to tell me. I am open to any criticisms ^_^

Thank you for reading and i hope 000 will take this concept into consideration. Looking forward to seeing this in game!

Unravelled* if that is the

Unravelled* if that is the word you were after, but regardless,

+1 I really like the idea, but there are a few things that need to set this apart from current swords.

1. As you said, it needs to be much faster than most heavy swords, but also important; it should not cause as much knockback on the second swing as troika lines / GF / DA (and deal less damage to compensate for extra speed). Fast speed + same knockback would make it too much of a utility weapon.

2. My idea for the charge attack at 5* is similar to a brandish's, but explosions are replaced by the rings created by 3* SS, and there are only 3 rings that are made infront of the user. Each ring can have a different status effect, which will make the charge attack unique (deals a lot less damage than a Brandish charge attack).

That was the old 3* Sealed model. The first link is literally named Sealed_Sword_Charge and uses the same charge attack as the 3*.

Otherwise this is stupid. A reskin of two swords who are already very similar even as branches of the same base weapon but with pure normal damage. We may as well make it a Bra-

"My idea for the charge attack at 5* is similar to a brandish's, but explosions are replaced by the rings created by 3* SS, and there are only 3 rings that are made infront of the user"

Go. Now. Out.

Not you, Raatik. Have a seat. Not on the floor. We have chai- Alright, who took the chairs again? Never mind. Stupid gnomes.

"This sword could be pure normal damage and carried on properties that the sealed sword would have, such as the random status inflict and the ring beams."

Troikas are pure normal. Being able to inflict random statuses as a weapon suggestion for this game is like opening a can of worms after shaking it for twenty seconds, then pouring it all over your face. Reactions may vary. The common derp would flop around in panic, spewing nonsense that would spawn a stupidly imbalanced abomination. I expect to see more on the charge attack and how not-facially-covered-in-worms it is.

"This sword, despite being pure normal, could be slighty faster than the faust/avenger counterparts and compared to other normal swords such as leviathan or the ones in the troika line [i dont know what the sword is called xD] could be a balance between quickness of leviathan and strength of the troikas."

So it has the advantage of being a heavy sword, though Sealed lines seem slightly faster than Troika lines not that I have obsessively investigated or know for fact whether Troika and Sealed lines have different swing speeds outside of using them occasionally as of late, but is almost as fast as Caliburs and Troikas all at the same time.

Wait.

Keep waiting.

Almost there.

What?

Troikas are slow. Sealeds are slow. Caliburs are not as slow. This third Sealed line, having the speed between slow and not-slow, also has the speed of not-slow but damage of slow. You know (or maybe not know), Troikas and Caliburs are different weapons. They were the last time I checked. Hold on, let me go ask.

Hey, Calibur? Troika? Are you two guys the same speed?

Calibur: Nope, nurp, plop top, out the door I go, bye boople doople.
Troika: Nnnnooooo wwweeeee aaaaarrrrrreee nnnnoooottt ssssaaaaaammme sssspppppeeeeeeddd. Snort.

Troika, did you just snort? Never mind. You get the point. Troika can snort.

"The charge attack can also be developed into more broad beams that travel instead of being stationary, albiet not very far comparing the faust/avenger to keep it balanced, still keeping with the sealed sword charge that inflicts status to their complementary colors."

Oh, so it does the same thing as DAvenger by having beams but the sword laser projectiles which are not a balanced charge attack or part of a balanced breakfast have a shorter travel distance. Well then. You remember that can of worms metaphor from earlier? Yeah. This has worms all over its face. Not just that, but the worms are covered in explosive termites. Now the worms are going up its nostrils.

I must now hunt and messily slaughter those chair stealing gnomes.

Re: Therawrcake

1. Yes, I completely agree on that!
2. Quite a nice idea on the rings, maybe the rings change color as they travel maybe? Although maybe beams would be nicer since its akin to all sealed sword lines, so its keeping that tradition.

Oh yeah the naming... I made a mistake, its Unravelled. Least someone was paying attention! XP

@ Luiguru

Thank you for pointing this out to me. I should have considered more factors or rethought the same ones over. Im sorry for this nonsense and I really appreciate your help ^_ ^
