You said a lance was a possibility at some point in the future. If you did decide to make something like that, how would you implement it in terms of usability? (aka how would it work)
Question to OOO, Nick specifically.
Idea: Lance can be used while dashing (maybe even shield bashing) to give extra damage and knockback. Something like a lance would probably give very good single target damage, but be harder to use against groups. Very long reach, but little knockback and damage when used in normal attacks. Charge attack would probably be a long dash-like attack, a little like second part of a pierce sword combo, but longer. Or like the second part of the hammer combo. I'd suggest a shorter than usual charging time, since it would not have much use in normal attacks.
I would assume lance would have a hitbox like that of the flourish 2nd hit,yet a jab like the hammer dash. It would make tge most sense.
Now with OOO derp logic, it would do a 720 bakclfip spin and auto kill anything at the expense of 100k crowns per swing.

If they're developed and soon to release, this is the actual me.
You reminded me of something. Wasn't there a lance icon somewhere? Did it get updated with the new UI?
