I've been thinking, could there be Lances in Spiral Knights? I mean don't knights also use lances?
New Weapon Type?

Maybe...
Attack pattern could be Stab, Stab, *spins around* slash.
The Attack speed could be a little bit slower than a normal speed sword (brandish, calibur)
the Lance could start at 2* and the starting damage would be slightly higher than a normal 2* (brandish and calibur)
I cant think of any status varients and the Recipe could be found at the HoH at Jorin (cobalt knight)
The charge could be like a Demoman's (from Team Fortress 2) Splendid screen or chargin targe attack but with the lance piercing through enemies.
Damage types would be normal unless an idea pops
Would this work?

Ltmauve, broken link.
Lances/Spears have been discussed before, and the consensus has been that they would be overpowered 90% of the ways you could think of to make them.

cough cough
just curious, have you ever read my posts before? 'cause they are about magic, traps, cannons, runes, etc.
Also, new idea here:
New status: invisibility, it comes from pills and makes you like chromalisks, and lets you run right passed them (lasts for 30sec in T1, 45sec in T2, 1 min in T3).

Hmm...
Here is the problem, how rare and will AI attack you?

Lances fit in swords.
I'm not going to go and do discussions, but:
Projectiles of all sorts = Guns
Explosives of all sorts = Bombs
Any Melee weapon = Swords.

The flourish line and BTB
The flourish line and BTB line are lances of the game. I mean you can't imagine a 10 ft big thing which attacks you from 5 ft away so they are a smaller version.

It wouldn't be a new "type" but it could perfectly be a new melee weapon. Flourishes have a way too wide of a hitbox and hit like broadswords would currently - if not rebalanced.
If flourishes aren't modified, a lance could perfectly be a new weapon with a really thing but long hitbox, that didn't propel you forwards at all for "hold an area" purposes.
Now, if what you want is a halberd, I would prefer a scythe. xD
And well, lance-spears have been suggested many times, so most likely if pets have made it...

I thought of designing a new sword called a "Mercurial Lance", but the idea seemed stupid however I guess I'll discuss. Mercurial Lance is the five star version, Quicksilver Lance is the three star version, and Charged Quicksilver Lance is the five star version. These are the stats for the Quicksilver Lance.
Quicksilver Lance ★★★☆☆ - Crafted from the pointed ears of a Quicksilver, this thing rips faster than you can say prepare for battle.
Attack Power - I haven't made a stat bar yet. It's fast because it's made from a Quicksilver. It's drawback is it's not so big in strength. It's weaker than Swift Flourishes, but it has a low chance of causing shock.
It's pure piercing.
Charged Quicksilver Lance ★★★★☆ - When Quicksilvers get shocked and become furious, it makes their ooze perfect for this lance's material.
Attack Power - It's speed increases, and it's damage increases by a little bit. It has a medium chance of shock now, though. It's weaker than a Grand Flourish.
It's pure piercing. I know this may sound like I"m trying to create a new status variant for Flourish, but this is how I planned the lance.
Mercurial Lance - ★★★★★ - It looks like the Quicksilvers are done playing around, and you'll realize that when you see the power of this lance.
Attack Power - It's speed increases, and it's damage will increase by a tintsy bit. It's speed will be amazing, though. The shock bonus is strong also. It's about 20% weaker than a Final Flourish.
It's pure piercing.
Attack Styles - All of their basic attacks are a pointed one hand attack like Flourish except it's only a two hit combo. Their charge attacks gain a little variation through change, though. Quicksilver Lance has a one strike, but it doesn't go too far. Charged Quicksilver Lance starts to make a thrusting sound, and moves up a little bit further. Mercurial Lance does a quick jousting strike with a lot of electric force around it, and for a limited amount of time the lance becomes more piercing and gets sharpened. I don't know if I should allow that idea that I just said, but I thought it would be pretty unique.
I haven't made any art yet, but I'm planning to.

Yes, knights use lances, in jousting.
What damage types? What is the attack pattern, and how is it different than a reskinned toothpick? What does the charge do? Are there status varients? Is the recipe HoH, boss, clockworks, PvP? Also, can we have a thermal lance?
