3* version:
Cautery Blade
Roughly the same as it is now, but with chance to cause fire similar to the fireburst brandish. Damage should be buffed to do about 10% less than a fireburst brandish on neutral enemies, and 10% more on slimes, similar to CIV vs Levi.
4* version:
Electrocautery Blade
Looks like a barber-poled version of the 4* brandishes
Splits the chance of status into a random chance of shock, fire, or both.
5* version:
Electrocautery Spade
Shined up version of the Slime Slasher model, because hell yeah beating things up with shovels
Same randomized chance of inflicting fire and/or shock.
Oh, and the explosions should be pink, like the (super) slime slasher, at all star levels.
Why the status effects? Why not just have high damage bonsues and use a fireburst/shock..burst?
Would make it a hassle to use against quicksilvers/oilers too
Altough would like to see certain family specific stuff be buffed a bit, but also don't wanna see it make the sets redundant either :(
Love the idea of 5* goin' back to the shovel though :)
