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 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).
