Everyone is talking about this so I'd like to give my opinion on some weapons I'd like to see change.

FLOURISHES

I believe the Flourish weapon class has a terrible moveset, with a horizontal swing followed by two thrust attacks. The thrusts are a problem because swords need to be good at hitting multiple enemies or being able to hit even without aiming perfectly. If I wanted preciselly aimed single target attacks, I would be using guns. But i acknowledge that the thrust attack is a signature move for that kind of weapon.

So my idea is to split the flourishes in two types: One that has 3 horizontal swings and one that focus only on thrust attacks, but the thrust attacks need to be better, maybe much faster, maybe having much more range or much more damage.

As for the charged attack, I think the BTB is fine how it is now, but the normal flourish charged attack is pretty much useless. I suggest it becomes a version of a blitz needle charge, but meele. Your character would not move forward, just perform multiple thrust attacks in high speed, without knockback. Since it's meele, it should be either faster or stronger than the blitz needle charged attack.

BRANDISHES

I don't like that one class of weapons is the best for elemental and shadow damage. With that in mind, I would keep the elemental ones as they are, but change the Acheron to some other type of weapon, maybe a cutter type or even something brand new. That charge attack definelly would need to be something completelly different.

ARCANA and others

Well, if brandishes are the best for shadow and elemental, the Arcana class is the best in general cases for all damage types. And they are the ones with less personality in the game. Their bullets don't ricochet, they don't shoot eagles, their bullets don't turn into big explosions, they do nothing, just the old and boring energy ball hitting the enemy.

Honestly, my idea for those weapons is just to delete them... But i know this is not possible. So maybe just buff the ones that could replace it. Antiguas are much cooler, drivers are totally unique and polaris should be a viable option.

Also for the other guns I mentioned there's the problem of they having a version for every damage type, what may turn them into te new Arcana-like weapons. If we could just delete some of them, the world would be a better place.

Ok, ok, we can't delete weapons, so my final thought on this is to just make them balanced, just change the numbers, so we could actually chose which one we like the most instead of just using Arcanas.
