Handgun: Darkfire
5* handgun

Description: A pulsar which has became a darkfire pulsar. A gremlin has once gone into a Shadow Lair with a supernova and he has been swallowed in the Swarm. The pulsar has became a Darkfire Pulsar!

==========

How it will attack:

When fired, Darkfire will release a ghost. The shape, size and range will be the same. After an 8-tile projectile, it will explode as if there was a mini volcano popping up. I know this is similar to a catalyzer, but it'll work a bit differently.

When charged, there would be ghosts spinning and explode. After the explosion, there would be pieces of rocks from the ground that will explode like a shard bomb, but it would be mini and only 1 - 3 rocks will explode after.
==========

Stats:

Shadow: Same amount of bars as a supernova, but just shadow
Speed: 1 bar more than the speed of a supernova.

SLIGHT CHANCE OF CAUSING STRONG FIRE.

Level 10+:

Charge Time Reduction: Low
Attack Speed Increase: Low

==========

Appearance:

It looks like a brownish, purple and redish color. The gun will have a purple glowing effect and will have ghosts flying around it (Just like Haunted aura, the Darkfire handgun will only have ONE ghost flying around the gun)

==========

This could be found as a rare drop in any Shadow Lair. Although since the handgun is just called "Darkfire", it could be found in UFSC more than the other Shadow Lairs.

Couldn't it just be a Catalyzer? =/

No. 1. It is bad to just

No.
1. It is bad to just reuse current weapons for "new" weapons. I mean by this is we shouldn't just use the same old attack styles and weapon looks when we could make new weapons that offer new ways to play.
2. The pulsar is annoying weapon and shouldn't be given the ability to deal shadow, elemental, and normal. I don't care if it is a rare drop; people will still want it and it will make the gun line more like the alchemer line.
3. If you want a shadow/fire gun then you should try to be creative with the mechanics of it. Here is a gun that does that: Link

Let me get this straight.

It's a variant of Polaris.
That's stronger than Polaris.
And faster than Polaris.
But instead of exploding as a tiny blast bomb, it will explode as a tiny Dark Retribution.
And then turn into a Shard Bomb.
That can set things on fire. Not just any fire, but strong fire.
And unlike every single other weapon in the game, it'll gain ASI at level 10 instead of CTR.

Just as a recap, there were absolutely no drawbacks compared to Polaris?

If I were Luguiru, I would vomit twenty paragraphs of text that weren't split up into paragraphs all of them detailing what a horrible suggestion this is. In fact...
