may have been suggested before but why not. have it be a large sword with first strike be a forward jab and 2nd swing be a 180/360 swipe, then have the charge attack be a forward charge with the user moving about 3-5 block length and damage anything in the path of the charge like how brandish series energy wave does but moves the player like hammer does. and have the lances have different types like an brandish series but have start with normal as a base weapon and have its own branch, then have 1 for element, piercing , and shadow at 4 star and 5 star. but have the speed of the weapon close to Divine avenger or Gran Faust.

i know this may just get shoved to the side or thought of as a bad idea but i just want to put it out there mainly because we knights and they did have lances plus we need some other new swords and this would add a big sword and we could start jousting each other in LD.

lol, you are suggesting a reverse flourish. Even the charge is similar

1st attack of it is a 180 sweep while 2nd and 3rd go forward.
Then the charge is a combo that moves the player several blocks forward just like you want

"may have been suggested

"may have been suggested before"
It has been suggested before lots of times.
"2nd swing be a 180/360 swipe"
It already became OP.
"then have 1 for element, piercing and shadow"
It outclassed sealed sword and flourish series.
Sorry but, new weapon ideas wont get good reputation here, unless the author has a good artwork, or has some really creative idea.

they can reuse the almirian lance and change the skin so we have a COMPLETE almirian set

Actually...

Rather, instead of the attack being anything like a swipe, the lance could have a combo of two large lunges. The lance could work as a crowd-control kind of weapon <--As if we didn't have enough. <--- Well, maybe there could be a crowd-breaking kind of weapon. You know, like how the rocket hammer can blow up a big path? For the charge attack, it could be a single step forward, and then a huge stab. Mostly a defensive attack, but add a tiny bit of homing and it'll make it a nice LD weapon. <-- Homing as in 2 - 15 degrees of turn. Anything more will make it OP.

I guess the lance could be a piercing / elemental tree, since there hasn't been a lunge-type elemental. Yes, I know that the current lunge weapons are pierce-only. Or, we could have it shadow / pierce tree. There hasn't been that many shadow swords in the game. Whichever you guys like. Well, anything goes...

As for the design, I would like to see a jousting kind of lance, with a spiral design somewhere. After all, we need at least something to make it Spiral Knights. It might look nice if the color scheme of the lance matches that of the Flourish line.

As for the name, I would LIKE it to be "Spiral Lance" or something along the lines of that, but it's mostly the devs and the other players' choice.

why haven't we?

Does shadow/piecing or elemental/piercing cancel the damage bonus out sense construct who are weak to elemental are resistant to piercing and jellies who are weak to shadow are resistant to piercing? Is that why we haven't gotten a shadow/piercing armor and shield or a elemental/piercing armor? I know that sentenza and argent peacemaker had /piercing in their damage output. Can someone tell me why piercing was removed again? (Cause it did make sense that they had piercing in their bullets)

about your idea, i do like it because its more like having a knight on a horse with a lance then having a rappier with a soldier on foot. I would like for the lance to go farther though and with great knockback in it's charge atatck. It should be much faster then a flourish in the lunge, but the player will have a long cooldown time like the autogun and cannot move from the spot they finished the lunge. Also, while the knight is charging, they cannot change course and will be blocked by unbreakable objects like a wall or block and such. Besides that, it feels like a good weapon.
