I'm sure someone will have already posted about this but I think that, just like with a snarbolax, there should be a weapon line for every boss obtainable with there tokens that mirror the abilities of the boss.

The snarbolax uses organic weapons (spikes, teeth ect.) so it makes sense that it has the snarble barb and so on, so why couldn't the roarmulus twins and lord vanaduke have a weapon of their own?

Roarmulus twins:
-because of their weapons I suggest a rocket puppy cannon or something of that description, the regular attack being a missile and the charge attack a laser beam or burst of those energy blob thingies that it fires. This could also be opened up into multiple alchemy paths because, just like with rocket puppies having different 'elements', you could have multiple roarmulus cannons.

Lord Vanaduke:
-I would suggest that for lord vana there should be a fiery mace like weapon, similar to his, which would do damage similar to that of the troika lines. These slow, powerful attacks would mean this weapon would be very appealing instead of the fairly unpopular Fang of Vog.

Whilst I am not in any way suggesting replacing the previous 'token weapons' I think adding 'boss weapons' would add to the game, they could be quite costly in tokens and would add more choice aswell as furthering the reason to continue to fight the bosses.I could also see these weapons being accompanied by boss themed armors or when they become five star possible becoming the Shadow equivalent of the original ie. a darkfire mace or red roarmulus rocket tube (quite a mouthful).

Suggestions

People don't come to the Arsenal forum to suggest new additions or change aspects of the game. There is a Suggestion forum, whose entire purpose is to house suggestions for the game. So please move this thread there (by editing the thread and choosing that forum from the menu).

Hm. Something closely resembling the boss' own weapon is one of those ideas that makes me feel stoopid for not having thought of it myself.

The Roarmulus one could take the form of a large Samus- or Megaman-style "arm cannon," basically a Gun Puppy's head worn like some kind of demented gun gauntlet... guntlet? Handgaunt?

The one for Snarbolax would I guess have a similar form, but rather function as a melee weapon. ...or perhaps a spine snotgun, which would provide something I see requested here a lot: a Pierce "gun" purchasable with Frumious Fangs.

The one for Royal Jelly could be similar to a Shard Bomb, but with the incredibly wonderful sound effects and animations of the Blast Cube, and the submunitions looking like Royal Jelly Minis. The main bomb could even have a cute little crown so it doesn't look hazardously similar to a monster you might conceivably fight with it. Functionally, I'd like it to be a knockback-free alternative to Shard Bombs, kinda like how the Spinecone line is for the Blast Bomb line. OTOH, maybe it could be a special "bomb" that's more like something which is to Polyps what Mecha Knight Kittens and derelicts are to enemy Mecha Knights. ...er, or another demented gauntlet, that could also work.

My idea for vana is Volcanog, it's a 5* fire troika. When u charge it, it will gives 1 fire on the floor where u hit,

and for Roarmulus Twins, I think a 3* Magnus Cannon (or with better name) would be awesome. 2 shots of iron rockets, and the charge will shoots 1 red rocket with 3* good dmg and a small blast, like Rocket Puppy, (No lasers, cuz it's too OP for the fire rate)

and everything will be available in Brinks token store.

problem

more weapons or armor on one boss would be absurd. so others (all others) would have to catch up with other weapons. so, we neeed another snarby weapon and a jelly weapon.
now, the weapons suggested.
rocket puppy cannon: sounds good, but what will be the speed of the rocket? and the range of the laser?
vana mace: already been suggested, and problem is the damage it would deal and "why taking DA/GF instead of that"
spine shotgun: take a blitz, the effects are the same.
jelly shard bomb: problem is, we first need to "fix" the shard bomb line. especially with no knockback. invincitrinks strike like heck.
fire troika: we don't need a direct damage weapon with a direct damage status. status on troika is meant for support the damage of the sword (see triglav).
magnus cannon: if the shots have the same speed of the normal bullet, ok. ame for the charge.

Little-Juances

Twins are made by gremlins and inflict shock. Polaris makes perfect sense for them.
Vanaduke and Fang of Vog fit too. Granted it would have been more fitting if it looked like it's mace instead of a cutter.

The only ones that seem too random are sealed sword and antigua. Why does a giant jelly have them?
Altought it's possible they belonged to the true ancestor of the palace and the jellies just took over them. (jellies can't build a palace they don't even have arms, I wonder how their king got a crown...)

@little juances: glob drops went under it, then there was a pile of jellies that fell into the king(and queen)'s head.

here is the problem with the

here is the problem with the roarmuluse rocket launcher. We don't need more elemental weapons. I love the idea but seerusly guies, we need more shadow and piercing weapons, not elemental. Oh also, if the "fire torika" weapon is just a fang of vog with more damage, it also isn't needed. it would be elemental. -1

I completely forgot about the jellies...

I feel so stupid for having forgotten the jellies, but i think Geosmin had i covered, and whoever said that we dont need more weapons - Why not? And i wasn't suggesting adding a snarby gun, i thought it would be cool to have the equivalent of that but for all the bosses (but for the record a snarby gun would be awesome).

Almirian Claymore?

Vanaduke Weapon.
-----------------------------
A Leviathan Sized, Archaic design Sword.

A Sword that has been twisted by the Forging fury of Almirian's Ruin, Where it once served as a trusty blade to noble guards, it now has the sole purpose of dispatching it's foes with a Dark Fiery Retribution.

Normal/Shadow.
Good Chance to Inflict Fire. (Only on Charge).

Behaves like a Big Sword. 2 Hit swing, with a faint shadowy trail.
Charge Attack...A Large 360 degree arc which sends out a Ring of Fire originating from the user's position.

Seems apt for the area. I can see it fitting with the Almirian Crusader set also.
