The sword page lists the Wrench Wand's attack style as a unique style ("wand"), but it seems very similar to a Spur.

-----

S: Fast attacks
W: Fast attacks (same speed as Spur)

S: Has charge projectile
W: Has charge projectile

S: Projectile pierces enemies
W: Projectile doesn't pierce enemies

S: 3 hit combo
W: 3 hit combo

S: Slightly lower damage on projectile hit
W: Slightly higher damage on projectile hit

S: Has knockback (how much knockback not important)
W: Has lower knockback than Spur

S: Has charge knockback (how much knockback not important)
W: Has lower knockback than Spur

S: Projectile has 5 tile range
W: Projectile has 7 tile range

So, should it be listed as a Spur, or does it have enough differences to keep being considered a unique attack style?

(Also, only charge projectiles were tested, and I used a level 10 Arc Razor for the Spur info.)

(I tested all the things mentioned here with the Wrench Wand on Ironclaw Menders, hitting them with their own weapons.)

Its regular attack pattern follows Calibur and Brandish attacks, not Spurs. Additionally, its projectile is extremely unique, fast-moving, and has odd "pulling" knockback, while Spur's is more random as well as slower. Spur's also focuses on "slicing" the projectile, while Wrench Wand's projectile is "cast" from the wand.

It's its own weapon by any right.

Regular attacks

I didn't test as much with the projectile, but looking at the regular attacks, they follow Spurs. They're faster than Calibur/Brandish, same speed as the Spur.

The main difference with the regular attacks is that the final swing's animation includes the knight spinning around for the Spur, but not the Wand. This has no effect on combat.

It follows the Spur in regular attacks (unless you're looking at the Winmillion).
