This thread is asking about what "YOU" think if there was a fourth weapon.

@OP

The fourth weapon would be some tools like hammer, robo-wrench, etc. xD

THE FOURTH WEAPON SHALL BE HAMMERS, HAMMERS AND MORE HAMMERS!!!

If the Battle Sprites weren't getting released, I wouldve suggested something that boosts the Party's Attack/Defence/Speed.
Wouldn't do damage to monsters though, just made the party better.

But my Seraphinx will be doing that soon enough it seems :I

(Like a Staff type thing).

Most likely dual wielded weapons, which would be for me at least, disappointing for the most part.

This would break one of the many SK triangles.

Nothing can beat it. :D

-Potato

Trip wire, turrets, teleporters, dispensers, and wranglers.

why?
because theres some levels with turrts which cost energy and from here you get the point.....

and i for the 4th weapn i think it should be a magic circle that will cause status effect for the monsters inside it

Our last move could be a special power. A power that lets us take off our pants, and it allows us to flatulate a wet mist gas cloud..

Gloves allows knights to use their fists in combat with the gloves. Each set of gloves giving specific damage types and inflicting status effects similar to the pre-existing weapons.
Two-hand wielded weapons such as spears and polearms.
Both classes render the knight unable to wield a shield, which in this case, the weapon serves as the shield as well. With varying shield-like properties to each weapon and can be used to defend just like a shield.

They would basically act like miniature bombs that you could throw to toss enemies around or inflict status on a small group. Would have low damage and small blast radius (5* grenades might have the radius of 2* bombs, and hit about as hard). They would mostly be used for softening up enemies rather then killing them.

My other idea would be a gun style weapon with very high damage and long range that can only be fired using the charge attack. The intended use would be to sniper out healers, turrets, and other dangerous enemies.

This.

I've seen already a few threads that make other interesting suggestions, but I believe rocket launchers would be much appreciated for combat medics, who always have to stay at the back to preserve their health bars for the melee-hitters.

A rocket launcher would bring a welcomed way for even gunners to safely sit back while laying down aoe templates to thin the enemy ranks.

Let's analyze this.

Guns: Range
Swords: Power
Bombs: AoE

These seem to cover all things weapons could do except for enemy control and moving them though they do have some movement.

I personally would love to see whips which have more range than swords, faster speeds, but less damage and can knock enemies in weird directions.

As an avid gunner who nearly never plays (up until battle sprite update, but we all know this won't last) I'd love like the really long written post a bit up suggested with channeling type guns, under the assumption that unlike needles and things, they would not root you. I imagine unless the damage and range were really horrible they'd be overpowered, but I'd probably be pretty happy with that regardless, heck, even if it required rapid clicking or something of that degree to prevent lazy hold down..
But uh, I've been pretty fond of the idea of lances for quite some time. Some nice range, super slow, all that. Hardly a sword, though it doesn't branch out from melee class, that'd be like saying all projectile related classes are the same too (yeah I see you grenades, and magic spells, and whatever else)
and all placing ones too- but welp. Shrug, I dunno. In all honesty I'd be happy with anything new to play with, of any of the current types too, so long as a new weapon was made. Can't really imagine anything that would go outside the 3 categories being implemented though, since sword could be applied to melee anyways, then all firing out things could potentially be sword, such- Rocket hammer already proves they don't have to conform to their category completely.
More than anything that I can personally think of, I'd really like a new type of gun, that had a different type of clip, that only held a few strong shots, but didn't instant reload, it'd reload over a sustained amount of time, slow enough that the increased damage wouldn't put it's dps too much higher than a standard gun, but yeah, maybe hold 2 or 3 rounds, and they'd take, I dunno, 5+ seconds to reload one? I'm no weapon designing expert, so I'm not sure how it'd actually play out if such a gun was implemented, though I'd imagine it'd be slow enough that it wouldn't be much for sniping, and it wouldn't be super easy shots to hit necessarily, not polaris slow though. Maybe the gun could be like a harpoon, even? Just brainstorming here, really. It'd kinda make sense, sorta slower, heck- maybe for that matter it could be a one shot gun, with a harpoon on a rope? Then the gun pulls it back in, which would be the delay, and perhaps farther you shoot it the longer it takes to return, that'd sort of give a risk reward play with faster damage at closer ranges, though not quite melee level, while you could if low on health or something stick a bit away and play it more safe. I dunno, maybe it wouldn't even be that fun, but I'd sure take it over no new guns. Sentenza is one of the few guns I'm particularly fond of, honestly. Callahan is alright in it's own way, though I'm pretty bad at using it with the long stun from shots which utterly prevents kiting (I'd hope said harpoon gun would have some, but not quite as bad for maneuvering, maybe a bit of a push back and speed equivalent to old bomb charging, but no plain out stun from moving) and then well, really don't like needle guns for that same rooting reason, since I like to actively move around at all times. Polaris is just.. well, it's a good gun in it's own right, but it either takes abuse spamming, or planning of the shots, which to some degree might also involve calculating exactly where it's gonna explode, and then there's the fact that the gun is more intended for simply far ranged keep away- while I'm more of a fan of a bit of close combat gunning (a bit too much so, gettin' myself killed too often because of it) then alchemers can unpredictably end up exploding a nearby box in your face if it bounces wrong, and without using the charge or planning it really well the dps is kinda eh in my opinion.
Anyways, enough about my life story, sorry. Harpoon gun might be nice, but I can't even imagine OOO ever releasing another actual weapon at the pace of things, 'specially with sprites having just arrived. If there was some ~brand new type~ that totally didn't conform to the other 3 categories somehow, I'd be pretty happy for that. God though, please no healing items. I don't mean to bash on anyone's ideas or anything, honestly a healing item would be cool- The fact is though, with the exception of /maybe/ shadow lairs, and honestly for a player of good skill (which I think should be a must for lairs anyways, if you suck like me don't go there often.) still wouldn't be that hard, we just got elite mode to supposedly help difficulty, and it's still not /that/ hard of a game, if knights could directly regenerate health, they would be nearly 100% invincible. God mode is only fun for so long guys.
TL;DR the fourth weapon type summons god to step on enemies in highheels, with a 31% of stepping on you giving a perma ban.

Yes! Magic would be awesome. My guild had a huge discussion about it, and that was the best outcome. There could be dark magic and light magic. Dark would do damage to enemies and light would be status bonuses toward your team. I came up with a dark magic one that is called "Rage of Almire" it requires a little cooldown, but it summons an Almirian and does a little attack against a specified enemy, before turning into dust. A light magic one is called "Sprite Spot" which summons a little circle thing (similar to what gremlin healers do) that heals teammates, slowly but surely. I wish they would do this.

Wands would be one handed and are a thing left behind from owlites. There is already a thread but i am to lazy to link it. They would primarily deal statuses and would give buffs soo they would be support.

Long range weapons
Short range weapons
AoE Weapons
I cannot think of any other type.

Maybe a shotgun? Like a medium range weapon that can hit multiple targets, but is not really a AoE? Has the additional effect of causing frame drop because of multiple particles?
Maybe a weapon that lets you pass through enemies? Maybe dealing damage?
Thrower weapons; a beam or spray that deals damage to multiple enemies in a beam / cone, but deals very low damage over time. So, like, you weaken stuff and your team finishes it off.

ANy of these would be good effects to add to a standard weapon, but I don;t think they'd be good as stand alone weapons.

This new weapon is not a new type of weapon, but rather a new weapon that does not fit exactly into one of the three current weapon types.

The money bag would be a weapon that looks like the bag of money that bank robbers carry in comic books.

When you use the money bag in-game, your character rolls a 1-cr coin, which is then deducted from your personal cr. The 1-cr coin then rolls in the direction that you were facing, albeit with a wobble, and after a set distance, it stops rolling and lands on a face. While it is rolling, if it smacks an enemy, it deals no damage or status effects.

The cr, as soon as it exits from the money bag, will attract the attention of all monsters within a set radius around the coin itself. They will chase after it. They will attack each other over it, although they will not do very very high amounts of damage to each other. However, the damage they inflict on each other is the same type of damage they inflict on you. So, if a devilite picks up a coin, and is then attacked by a wolver, the wolver will do more damage than if the devilite was attacked by a zombie. Every time the monster in possession of the coin is attacked, it will drop the coin in a manner in which it cannot immediately pick it up again.

Of course, stationary enemies will not chase the coin. They may be distracted for a moment.

As soon as a monster has had the coin for about 3 or so secs without being attacked, the coin disappears, since said monster has "taken" the coin, and the monsters are no longer affected by the attractive force of the coin. Thus, you will now be one crown short.

If no monster catches and keeps it within 10 sec, or if 3 diff monsters take possession of it within the coin's "lifetime," then the coin disappears. You will now be one crown short.

The charge attack would be throwing a larger coin that would deduct 5 cr from your personal hoard of cr. It would be thrown like a Frisbee, and so unlike the normal attack, you could throw it over the heads of monsters, and have them chase the coin away while it is flying away from you. Once they catch it, the same mechanics from the normal attack would kick in.

Of course, you can also pick up the coin that you just threw or rolled, as long as it has not been taken by a monster for more than 3 seconds. So, if you see that a monster has taken your coin, you had better hit them and take your coin back. Unlike the monsters, you do not have to avoid damage for 3 seconds in order to keep the crown.

Also, since money bags are weapons, you would be able to use them in training halls and mission lobbies. If this weapon is implemented, then Three Rings would literally allow you to throw your money away; something that they have never done before. You can have money wars in your Training Halls if you so desire. Feel free to shower your friends with gold.

Taken from the Money Bag idea...

Lures?
Drops a straw-stuffed life-size model of a Knight in your place (on charge) and makes you temporarily invisible for up to 5 seconds. The next attack will deal Stun and have slightly increased damage. This buff will apply to any weapon you have equipped - even Vials or Sprite attacks.

Normal attack: Whack whatever's in front of you over the head. 1-hit combo. Normal damage.

OK, maybe not, this makes Maskeraith OP.

Honest question: could you explain that lumber/forge joke to me? I can't for the life of me get it.
