Summer is just around the corner, and what better is there to do than prepare for some summer fun?

Introducing the Bubble weapons: Bubble Wand and Bubble Gun!

Here are a few bullet points (because who doesn't like bullet points?)

• All the weapons are 5*

• They are reskinned weapons

• Bubble Wand is a reskinned Brandish. There are blue (elemental Freeze), red (elemental Fire), light blue (elemental Shock), and grey (shadow) Bubble Wands; Bubble Gun is a reskinned Blaster. There are green (Arcana), yellow (Riftlocker), blue (Valiance), and grey (Phantamos) Bubble Guns.

Considering how most of the [recent] reskinned equipment have been introduced rather poorly, I think having a large set of reskinned weapons would increase the random factor and make every found reskinned weapon a good choice (which will make the player want to purchase the Prize Box).

The problem is the boss rewards can't be reskinned as they are considered "rares".

well, actually you could make the bubblegun pulsar by adding it to the mysterious alchemy machine, and having special event mats that you craft it into. A summer themed event would be nice...

Considering how there is a Winterfest-themed Pulsar texture in the game files, it can be hinted at there could've been some intention to make a reskinned Pulsar variant during the event, but it must've been called off prior to implementation.

A bubbly pulsar sounds like it would inflict either normal, or even piercing damage, and has the potential to moderately (or lightly) stun enemies, although that's just what I feel like it should be.

A stunning pulsar... now that would be interesting, but it might just be for the best to have it be a reskinned Supernova.

I can see where the idea of a Blaster-oriented bubble gun would come in, but I honestly think that would be a bit odd, especially considering the many branch lines that will need to be decided on, when it comes to implementing it.

The Bubble Wands could actually end up being just a pure-normal 5* Brandish that can either stun enemies, or just possess ridiculous knockback (ride that wave!). A normal damage 5* Brandish would be rather funny to see, considering how its damage potential should not exceed that of a Cold Iron Vanquisher. Otherwise, that would make both the Cold Iron Vanquisher, and the Leviathan Blade (and its offshoots), nearly redundant, or rather... unfavored by other players due to utility, despite being a prize box exclusive.
