So I was meandering through the forums and I saw some Ideas for jelly weapons

So I thought I'd expand on the idea. All credits to Alphastevo and Diamondshreddie for the original ideas

Jelly Sword

4* A sealed-swordish blade covered in jelly. Maybe cycles through the different jelly colours (pink, yellow, green, quicksilver etc.)
Two swing slow sword
Has a brandish like charge with T1 blast cube explosions going forward
Piercing damage

5* Same as 4* but with jelly spikes protruding from the sword
Two swing slow sword
Either has a more powerful version of blast cube charge or the giant lichen spikes coming out of the ground
Piercing damage

Jelly Club

5* A polyp that fits into the palm of your hand
1 swing sword with massive piercing and normal damage
Charge is the same but spikes pop up doing full damage over the range of a shiermist

Random ideas I came up with

5* Jelly gun
shoots out 3 mini royal jelly cubes
Max of six out at a time
Die from one hit or expire after x amount of seconds
Charge shoots a T2 jelly cube for same amount of time. only one at a time and can take 3 hits

4* Scalpel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Various_scalpels.png (like the middle one)
Cautery sword Craft tree
Very high damage vs jellys

5* Operator
^^^ like the first one in the pic above but is on fire (going with the description of the http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Cautery_Sword)
Max damage vs jellys
5% chance of giving or receiving fire

Nicoya posted a better jelly club thread with even custom images ages ago.

Summoning enemies always sound overpowered.

Think about it. It's a whip. A weapon that's been used to abuse animals AND people for centuries. I believe it's a criminal offence to carry a whip (At least in the UK) because it may come under a 'dangerous weapon'. Then again, knives are used in games such as TF2 and Assassin's Creed, but I think whips would be taking it too far.

@Jamoo I understand where

@Jamoo
I understand where your coming from and I do see that whips could have a worse image but what about everything else in the game? You can make a case for bombs for terrorist attacks or guns for just being abused to kill people. On that note however I think I'll change it.

@Juances
Want to give me the link so I can post it? I know that the club was not my original idea so I would like to have all contributors added. Maybe with enough support the devs might see it!O and as for the gun that's why I put in a spawn limit and the fact that they die after one hit.

@Alphastevo
Want to expand on that? Maybe make a Craft tree or just add some other details and ill put it in the OP. Thanks for the ideas!

@Moonarr:

Yeah I really don't like the idea of whips.

They're even less 'Knightly' than Bombs. I mean, really. Whips are for slave drivers, beast tamers, and interrogators. Why would a Knight use a whip? It's not an honorable weapon by any means.

Just my personal view and opinion.

Whips less knightly than bombs? What kind of a knight has a freakin bomb? lol
Still don't like the idea of a whip though to much

thanks for taking note of my sealed sword-like jelly sword suggestion ^.^

to me it makes the most sense, seeing as there is jelly mail and shields :)

@Diamondshreddie

Your welcome! If it weren't for you and Alphastevo I wouldn't have made the thread so really I'm thanking you. Though since jelly items start at 2* maybe you can add on the idea and make a full line so the sword starts there too?

@Serell
@Sev
Changed the OP so no more whips

@Serell:

Well, at least true Knights had Black Powder. You could extend that to say they could've had something like a bomb.

But no knight ever used a whip.

@Canine-Vladmir:

I think the idea was to make a slower piercing sword? Since we don't have one.

Hmm

Actually, the only idea's I liked (I don't mean to be rude to your imagination) are the blast cube jelly bomb and the polyp jelly club thing.

A small blast cube jelly in your hand that you have to charge and then drop for a Nitronome-like piercing bomb sounds pretty cool.

Like starting at 3* as an orange blast cube, 4* a red blast cube, and 5* a purple blast cube. (Like blast cubes change colors in tiers.)

For the polyp idea, I think it would be hecka-fun to beat the living daylights out of fiend/beast with a squishy club. But it shouldn't be too slow, as we don't want it to be terribly difficult to fight fast beasts and fiends.

Whips are a bad idea from the start, unless you want to look like Indiana Jones you don't need a whip.

The jelly gun sounds like a weapon for a Warlock to summon things with, not really what I would use. It is okay to have a gun for jelly, but it shouldn't spawn enemies, this is like a short term summon pet. A jelly gun that shoots spikes like polyps or balls of jelly like JK when he is throwing a fit, makes more sense. Also I want to shoot piercing jelly shots at Vanaduke instead of the immobility of my blitz needle.

The heavy sealed sword jelly sword sounds good, I think it would make the Sealed Sword line fair for all damage types, however hitting a fiend or beast with something really slow would be difficult, as beasts and fiends are faster then most types. Also it would be another Gran Faust for Lockdown, then again we already have BTB and FF for pierce in Lockdown. There are plenty of great names I could come up with for it though.

@Moonarr

Sure.

Here's my take on it, at least.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2h55ush.jpg

-Jelly Club
2*
A club that's as squishy as it is painful.
Heavy, two swing
Deals Piercing/Normal

-Brute Jelly Club
3*
Don't have much of a description for this one.
Heavy, two swing
Deals Piercing/Normal

-Rock Jelly Club
4*
Same with this one.
Heavy, two swing
Deals Piercing/Normal

-Royal Jelly Scepter
5*
A scepter fit for a self-assigned king.
Heavy, two swing
Deals Piercing/Normal

Charge attack could be something like a Jelly's Ground Spike, but with four of them, making four "corners" around the knight.

But... whips have been used time and time again to destroy the forces of evil!
