Weapon Descriptions:
"The relic that brought the demise of the owlites. In their monasteries owlites studied the magiks, dark arts, and the Underworld. Near the end of their lifetime an owlite researcher discovered an ancient codex that held immense power. The owlites named it “The Book of Grey Feathers”. Word of this powerful relic spread across the clockworks and eventually to the Kat-tribe. Margrel broke into the owlite’s tower, stole the book, and used its powers to summon the kataclysme. Margrel held onto the book ever since, and over time has infused it with extremely dark and nefarious powers."
Its a big evil book. You carry it around, but when it's placed it magically flips to a specific page and emits the curse haze. I'd imagine it'd be be obtained from the Margrel fight, or combining a certain amount of pages.
Stats:
Basically just a curse haze bomb.

Weapon Description: Not only does this devastating contraption seek to wreak havoc and destroy all construct life on Cradle, but it also enjoys user affection and being pet too! How delightful.
Stats: The Obliterator when charged will deploy immediately not requiring any fuse time. When the Obliterator is deployed, it will function similar to a T3 Cinderbot. It will attack as a cinderbot would to the nearest enemy with elemental damage with a good chance of causing strong fire and comes with a Damage Bonus vs Construct High. After 7 seconds, the Obliterator will seek out the nearest opponent and detonate itself in a fiery explosion with medium knockback. The Obliterator does not take damage from any sources nor does it have contact collision with enemies nor the player. Unmentioned stat specifics are left up to your imagination. <3
This bomb is an upgrade from the Heavy Deconstructor in the Blast Bomb alchemy line.

Weapon Description: Cobbled together by a frantic gremlin engineer, don't underestimate this weapon. As those who've been on the receiving end of it could tell you, this weapon lives up to it's name.
Stats: A gun with slow moving projectiles with a single into three bolt attack pattern. It's charge attack leaves a pool of damaging fire on the ground akin to burning oil. letting you zone off an area with damage, or keep critters on the heat by shoving them into it!
None too good with art, but had the idea of gremlin techs making junk into weapons for a long time. Cheers.

4-star: Regular Staplegun, looks like any old staplegun you'd find at a store.
- Description: "An ordinary staplegun used for construction projects. However, it would appear to have been modified with a 'sharp' increase in lethality."
5-star: Static Staplegun
- Description: "High-powered, specialized staplegun used by the gremlins in the Ironclaw Munitions Factory during the development of 'Project Roarmulous'. For some reason, they decided that galvanic staples would enhance the functionality of this device."
5-star: Fiery Staplegun
- Description: "Uniquely engineered in order to wreak havoc upon the knights, the gremlins have infused this staplegun with the element of fire. Hot even to the touch, this staplegun is sure to set your foes ablaze."
Stats/Functionality:
-Very similar to the antigua line, though the base damage is slightly lower to compensate for its special ability, which will be outlined below.
-Upon contact, the staples "stick" to your enemies for 10 seconds. For each staple attached to one enemy, 10% of the base damage is added to the next attack for that specific enemy.
-Regular Staplegun does piercing damage, with no status effects
-Static Staplegun does piercing damage, with a chance to inflict shock
-Fiery staplegun does elemental damage, with a chance to inflict fire

Weapon Description: "Crafted with the loving essence from a Love Puppy, this Bomb is sure to heal you and your allies' wounds."
Stats: Does no damage etc, but when used, acts as consuming a small/medium/large heart (depending on how leveled up the item is) in the radius of the bomb for you and your allies.
Obtained: Lifeline Device Recipe, which would be dropped by Love Puppies, and at a increased rate for the Valentine's Day season. I'm not sure what items would needed to make this item fair and balanced to craft, but I do know it would require a special "Love Puppy Essence" item, received randomly from defeating a Love Puppy. I think this would make a unique addition to the game for players like me who would like to help out their allies more.
Notes: The drawing for the Lifeline Device took me 30+ minutes, I'm sorry for the crudeness as I am not a good artist :/. Good luck to all!

Weapon Descriptions:
Built by gremlins alongside catalyzers to be used in the assault on Haven, these mines create a vacuum upon detonation by pulling air through the center ring, damaging and dragging those unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast zone towards the center for a brief moment. The Impact-vac also detonates a monster's catalyzer orbitals upon damaging them.
Stats:
Less damage than a Neutralizer charge, suction only drags enemies in for 1 tile.

Weapon Descriptions:
Poisonous Pervader ( Ele / Poison )
Using Valestone to refract light, this laser emitting device ploughs through any unnatural force, with some toxin for extra kick.
Dazzling Perforator ( Pierce / Stun )
The luminite within this handgun refracts light so intensely that ferral and fiendish foes are left paralyzed briefly.
Stats: (The image has the stats but I'll rewrite and develop them here)
Poisonous Pervader does Elemental damage, and has a fair chance to inflict moderate poison.
Dazzling Perforator does Piercing damage, and has a fair chance of inflicting moderate stun.
These guns have a 12 "shot clip", each "shot" fires a laser that lingers for ~0.5-0.75 seconds, and has a reach of 5 tiles.
Enemies would react to the laser like they would Seraphynx's laser, with the only difference being the time between each tick of damage. It would be slightly longer than that of Ray of Light.
The charge attack would fire a laser that, is wider, is longer, does more damage, and lasts 2 seconds.
The wielder would be able to move around while firing regular attacks, and not be rooted like they would with heavy guns. The charge attack would root the user for the entire duration of the laser.
On the side of the weapon is a screen that displays how much ammo left.
(this began as a sort of joke idea but the concept is interesting to me, so i hope it is to you <3)

Weapon Descriptions:
Heat Wave:
After heating up, this small sidearm unleashes an unstoppable force of fire.
Power Surge:
Piercing through enemies, the powerful laser fired from this weapon will leave enemies in shock.
Laser Drill:
This Lasergun's precision was amplified to the max! It'll pierce through all foes at lightning speeds, monsters will rather get their vaccinations!
Names for the line:
Elemental Fire: Lasergun > Hot Lasergun > Searing Lasergun > Heat Wave
Elemental Shock: Lasergun > Static Lasergun > Jolting Lasergun > Power Surge
Laser Drill: Lasergun > Precise Lasergun > Penetrating Lasergun > Laser Drill
As for the designs. These weapons are acquired with Bark Modules and are designed after Gunpuppies.
Weapon Stats:
Heat Wave: Does Fire and Elemental
Power Surge: Does Shock and Elemental
Laser Drill: Does Pure Pierce
All Laserguns have a 2 shot clip, so what's the catch? Their basic attack is a 9 tile range shot! And it pierces through all enemies. To compensate for this, the gun loses a bit on the damage side. Slightly less than Antigua. But it makes up for it in how many enemies it pierces through! The charge attack is a big laser, with infinite range that hits 3 times on all enemies within it. These guns fill the niche of long range weaponry.

Weapon Description:
Tremor Flail: A crude yet effective meat tenderizer that'll send all those beasts and demons scurrying as far away as possible.
Seismic Shatter: An additional spiked steel ball was added to double the trouble. The blacksmith highly recommends the user to equip a full suit of armor with padding after a few painful trial runs.
Mantle Plume: Summon the wrath of the planet's molten core when smiting your enemies to ashes, using highly violatile bombs assembled from the same engines that brought knights to Cradle.
Cryoseism: Lay waste upon your enemies with punishing cold steel. Only then will they know the taste of frozen Hell.
Stats:
Tremor Flail
-Piercing Damage
Seismic Shatter
-Piercing Damage
Mantle Plume
-Piecing Damage
-Slight chance of causing Moderate Fire
Cryoseism
-Shadow Damage
-Slight chance of causing Moderate Freeze
Mechanics:
*refer to attack animation in image*
There are four basics attack, where each swing covers 1 tile in front of them. Has slightly lower attack speed than brandishes, and does fairly good knockback.
Charge Attack
3* has the same charge attack as Troika line charge attacks, and deals fairly strong knockback.
4* has the same charge attack as the 3* version, but with two points of major damage. Enemies caught between the two points of damage would not be knocked back, but instead stay in place after impact.
5* has the same charge attack as the 4* version, but with three points of major damage. The weapon now explodes upon impact, with bombs at each end of the chains. Enemies caught between the three points of damage would not be knocked back, but instead stay in place after impact.
TL;DR
-a flail that upgrades to an explodey sword with bombs attached at the end of each chain
-position your attacks to keep the enemy from flying away OR
-position your attacks to send the enemy flying

Weapon Description:
A strange sword recreated by the Spiral Order imbued in Valestone. One day Wegner replaced the Valestone with Moonstone, it is not known what happened, but he stopped using swords and now only uses bombs
Attacks explained:
The first two attacks are similar to the basic attacks of the swords of the "Brandish" line.
The third attack refers to the character raising the sword and then, similar to the "Warmaster hammer" charge, the sword hits the ground and as a result leaves the small black squares similar to the swarm levels
The charged attack is similar to that of the "Brandish" line where the effect shown is the black-violet color of the drawing, this charge has the possibility of reducing the speed of the attacked enemy for 3 seconds
Stats: This Sword does Normal damage. The charge has a little chance to slow down the enemy

Stats: The scepter normal attack consists of a 4 hit combo shooting damaging beams that stop on the first target hit dealing shadow damage with a fair chance of causing strong curse, each beam shot after the first grows in size untill the 4th one which causes a 2 tile explosion on hit.
The charge attack summons 2 enchanted exploding zombies to fight (not for long) along your side.

Weapon Description:
-Gunpowder Gauntlet: An old model of the mining equipment used for mineral harvest, repurposed for blood pumping hand to hand combat.
-Blast Gauntlet: For those that do not enjoy the thrill of hand to face battle, this gauntlet is equipped with additional combat oriented parts allowing for a more harnessed and directed destruction.
-Sunderer: Holding power matching a small sun, this highly weaponized gauntlet could tear the very world asunder, foes included.
-Winged Gauntlet: The wings of this stylish tool of destruction are made out of exhaust pipes, allowing it to not only look dashing but also allowing the user to dash at much higher speeds tremendously increasing the pain foes will experience.
-Soaring Salvo: Infused with the essence of legendary beasts of fire and flames, with wings big enough to eclipse the sun, this gigantic gauntlet will send any foe on a trip around the solar system.
Stats:
-Gunpowder Gauntlet
3* Gun type weapon
Normal damage
Moderate speed
May inflict FIRE
Two bullet magazine
-Blast Gauntlet

Slightly faster than moderate speed
May inflict FIRE
Two bullet magazine
Additional info:
The alchemy tree begins with the Gunpowder Gauntlet which shares the same charge attack as the Winged and Soaring Salvo, which represent the lower part of the tree, this charge attack grows in the speed of its dash component as the star ranking of the weapon increases (Refer to the image provided to how it would look like, the bottom of the two). As well as shearing their charge attack, this line of gauntlets has the same wide yet low ranged bullets for their basic attack (as depicted in the image).
The side-grade of the tree, the Blast Gauntlet and Sunderer, which represent the upper part of the tree, gain a brand new and different charge attack along with differently attributed basics. The charge attack gains an overlapping area of damage upon the weapon reaching its five star rank, allowing for bonus damage in point blank. The bullets of the basic attacks are rounder similar to fireballs that create a small explosion on impact, their size and radius of the explosion grows with star rank and they have much better range than their "melee" counterparts.
Hat not included.
TL;DR
Just look at the image and follow the arrows.

Weapon Description: Love brandishes are crafted with heart pendants for those who wish to truly delve deep into the clockworks and share the love with their teammates. Each hit has a chance to drop a heart (for you or your teammates) with charge attacks and the third swing in a 3 hit combo giving a higher chance at big hearts.
Stats: high normal damage. Enemies struck by love brandish have a chance to drop hearts.
Flavor Text: It is believed the first love brandish was crafted after a swift-footed knight managed to catch a love puppy's projectile.

Weapon Description: An over-successful campaign to rid Cradle of plastic straws to save the Tortodrones have rendered the plastic tubes all but an endangered commodity. The Recon Rangers have however come to recognise this once-common object's effectiveness against rampant tortodrones over the years, despite the rather disgusting (and immature) nature of its attacks. Gathering what very few straws they can find throughout the clockworks, the Rangers managed to fashion a sidearm that's both deadly to the lumbering beasts but also pretty effective in stealth recon missions.
Stats:
5* Normal Damage Gun (no earlier variants since it'll come from the Dangerous Prize Box)
Antigua Line (same attack pattern as the rest of the Antigua family)
Abilities:
Bonus Damage against Tortodrones: Very High
Good chance of causing Moderate Stun

The following weapon introduces a new alchemy line in the Rapier called ‘Flourish’. This weapon gradually evolves from a prototype (3*: Parallance) to a stronger alpha version (4*: Florasol) to be the Weapon of the Spring herself (5*: Serrulata). With this newly masterwork addition to the Spiral Order arsenal, the Wrath of the Spring is ready to be unleashed upon the Beasts of the Wild and the Fiends of the Office.

-"Since the Spiral Order's first encounter with the swarm, it has only gotten stronger.

Weapon Description: An ancient sword was found in the hidden depth of Cradle. Oetsu, a professional Spiral Order researcher, have to look deep into the sword for several years until he discovered a darkened secret of Minazuki. A long long time ago, a cold heartless killer named Rinasuki love to kill people as her bloodthirst entertainment. When at a young age, she found a beautifully embroidered sword that she named it, "Minazuki". She became sharp and dangerously skilled in swordsmanship with Minazuki.
She was famously known as her skill level in swordsmanship and also served as a female Master of Sword Arts to help the knights improve the sword techniques on the planet of Isora. As she tries to reflect herself to be a good person over the past of violent history, she hides her sword, Minazuki, in her locked chest. After a thousand years, to this day, no one knows how Minazuki ends up located in the deep depth of Cradle. But its rich history continues to tremble through the planets of Isora and Cradle.
I dedicated this sword name, "Minazuki", to my favorite anime character [Retsu Unohana and her bankai "Minazuki"] To those of you who were the Bleach anime/manga fan, you guys maybe heard of Minazuki or Retsu Unohana. I try to correlate her history and the weapon description similarly. You guys may understand if you know The Thousand-Year Blood War final arc. Several Bleach fans didn't get to know or read the final arc, so I won't spoil it. Hint: "Behind those compassionate eyes lies a heartless killer"

Weapon Description:A powerful sidearm built for urban warfare, and issued to recon ranger breach teams. The Infernito packs explosive breaching power and incendiary firepower in one compact firearm. When clandestine operations go loud, this weapon is sure to give your enemies a little inferno of their own.
Stats: Normal damage, with good chance of causing moderate fire
Sidenotes: Its a MP5 with a M203 grenade launcher, with modifications that make it neigh impossible to use in real life, but perfect for the spiral order. In hindsight, this weapon would have looked much, much better in scarlet scout colors instead of recon ranger colors, but I only remembered the other clandestine unit exists well after finishing this piece.

Weapon Description: A mythical trident forged in the deepest ocean, where no sunlight can reach and no warmth exists. This trident holds the weight of many anchors, but its powerful strikes are capable of summoning tidal waves and capsizing ships, earning the trident its short moniker.
Stats: Roughly the same as Triglav or Sudaruska, but I'll leave the specifics alone.

Weapon Descriptions:
It's already noted at the top of my paper, but as you can see the design was inspired by both a Duck and a Warhorn. You notice that as you go for 3* to 5*. The bomb actually gets smaller! This is because the smaller opening you push air out of, the more pressure there is, and therefore there'll be more force! Going out with more power and range.
To be more specific about how the weapon works, you have to aim where the blast will go, unlike any other bomb. The higher star level the more range and power and knockback you will get. At 5*, you have a 7.5 tile length and a 3 tile width. The blast also hits 3 times and has a good chance to do strong status.
Zillion Zephyrs: Spiral Technology have harnessed the true power of air in this bomb. Sure to knock the wind out of all your enemies!
Billion Blizzards: A gale bomb fully infused with the power of ice. Able to create blizzards capable of stopping all enemies in their tracks.
Ferocious Flamethrower: This gale bomb was enhanced with the destructiveness of fire. It can create firestorms that leave nothing in its wake.
Stats:
Zillion Zephyrs does Elemental and Stun.
Billion Blizzards does Elemental and Freeze.
Ferocious Flamethrower does Elemental and Fire.
