Just as we have a shadow damage brandish im suggesting we should have a piercing brandish. I was doing some research about mayan culture and i found a weapon called macuahuitl that is basically a sword like thing with razors at the sides so i made this brandish line based on mayan weapons.
Damage
The title says it, its a brandish that does piercing damage. But just as the nightblade it does half normal and half piercing damage.
Use:
Why would someone choose this sword over flourish? This sword does split normal and piercing damage. It isnt as strong against beasts and Fiends as the flourish but it isnt as weak against construct and jellies. Plus the brandish line has a really cool charge attack, it would be good for taking down large groups of enemies.
Look
As i said before i made it so it looks like mayan weapons but the game developers can make it look however they wish, as long as it gets into the game.

Attack:
A three hit combo just like any brandish. The charge attack explosios can look like the raising spike attack from the Big Momma Lichen or like a serie of little spine cone explosion.
If it was a brandish line weapon, the attack should be like the brandish lines. Why would people choose a split normal-piercing over full piercing if they have the same attack?
