A simple suggestion of a desert blade.

Desert Sword-Three Stars
Sabulous Desert Blade-Four Stars
Arenaceous Desert Cutlass-Five Stars
Their attack style in speed is similar to Spur's attack style but uses sand whips instead of green carves.

Desert Sword-A quick blade drawn from a far away desert in Cradle. Three stars, like I said before. There is a small amount of piercing due to the incisiveness of a Desert Blade however it mostly has normal attacks. Its sand attacks may cause stun because if sand is heavily blown, it will be laborious to go through a heavy sandstorm however this is only from the charge attack because the charge attack summons a small sabulous hurricane but it's difficult to pass through the hurricane due to sand being around your body.

Sabulous Desert Blade-A blade stuck in the sand but pulled from an almighty desert wanderer. Its piercing is increased by a moderate amount and normal attacks are decreased by a low amount. It has larger sand carves and is much sharper. It's charge attack does a three-hit combo of large sabulous strikes then it turns around and summons a tornado that doesn't have much of an increased size of the Desert Sword but it is increased slightly. It has more of a chance to cause stun due to it's extensive strikes. I also forgot to mention that it is faster.

Arenaceous Desert Cutlass-A rapid striking sword that physically controls sand, it's sharp edges may even harm you if you touch the side of it. Its piercing is increased by a high amount and normal attacks are decreased by a moderate amount. It's basic two hit combo leaves small sand tornadoes that fade away quickly. It's charge attack has a high chance of causing stun. It quickly dashes when it does its charge attack and does a rapid combo similar to the Dread Venom Striker or Wild Hunting Blade charge attack and makes a large tornado, in this sword's charge attack the tornado doesn't deal as much damage but has a way more increased chance of stunning your opponents. The Arenaceous Cutlass has increased speed and piercing damage but lowered normal damage.

Criticism is heavily appreciated because this suggestion does not sound one hundred percent accurate to me.

Just a thought....

Do you see any Deserts around here?

The Desert Blade comes from a far away a mysterious desert, it's not a common desert or Clockworks level.

I think the changes between versions are too much. Each level is like a completely new sword.

What do you want me to change?

Their damage types, charge attacks, or combos?

If this was created, I suppose nobody would use the spur any more.
Also, maybe you could include a design picture?
It doesn't make sense how it is a sabre (from your description), but does piercing damage. I'd say it's more of a normal or elemental.
Does the tornado do damage? Status effect? Does it freeze them in a lump of dirt?
That just made me think of this...

It actually might also be an idea to add this line to the spur line from alchemy because it is similar in design.

I changed it to cutlass instead of saber. I said the tornado does stun and it does deal damage.

The Desert Blade is pretty sharp which is why I made it piercing.

It is piercing and normal or do you want a small amount of piercing with moderate normal damage?

It could become a second spur line.

IMO you should stick with a single type, to keep things simple.

I HATE it when games start to introduce OP weapons with which people get lazy and start overusing.
