So I was thinking, the sword, gun, and bombs are pretty good, but how about we add a new weapon class? I think its time for some new weapon classes. I think a bow and arrow would be a nice addition to the game, it would create new strategies and it would add more fun and complexity to the battle strategies. The bow would have to be charged like a bomb, but it would fire a really long range and deal a significant amount of damage. I was also thinking of adding a hammer, dealing huge amounts of damage, but slowing down the players rate of attacking. Just some suggestions that i think would help expand the fun of this game :)
New weapon classes? Suggestions?

Its about how the weapons
Its about how the weapons work, not how they look. A hammer would be a sword and the Bow would be a Gun. They work like this: Melee, Ranged and Area. If you think about something different from that, them make a suggestion until then this isntreallly about something different from what we already have in the game.

Your hammer looks like a troika.
Your bow is a one-directional crystal bomb/sun shard.
Aside from the model differences, it's nothing really new in game-play. No new strategies and complexities like you expecetd.

Not necessarily
There are things you can do within the range/melee/area categories that are substantially different from what's been done.
How about a beam gun: fires a continuous beam that lasts for x seconds and deals a small amount of damage every, say, tenth of a second.
Or, as suggested, a bow: a weapon with no normal shot, just a charged shot that has excellent range, damage, and penetration. Maybe the range and damage can vary depending on how long you charge the shot.
Rocket Launcher: like a polaris, but a faster projectile, maybe a bigger explosion, and only one shot per clip. Maybe it could home, or the charged shot could home.
Shotgun: two-shot clip, fires a spread of short-ranged bullets--like the autogun, but with a shorter fire time and maybe fewer projectiles. Charge could be both barrels--double the projectiles!
Lightning gun: a very fast bolt that leaps from target to target dealing damage and maybe shock. One shot clip, charge can put out a spray of bolts.
Flame Thrower: puts out the line of fire, red-rover-esque.
For melee, how about a point blank explosive instead of a sword: like a 180 degree shockwave that originates from the player, does moderate damage and a little bit of knockback to everything in the area (fairly small area, gets bigger on the last "swing")--kinda like a mini nitronome that takes instantaneous effect.
Spear: like a slower Flourish (similar attack pattern) with much greater reach.
Shanker: Brandish-style attack pattern, short reach, massive damage bonus for being behind a target.
I'm not really a bomber; I don't really have any ideas on that front, but there's plenty of room for new weapon effects. These are really just off the top of my head.

Or a Taser
Fast projectile hits a target, you can keep the attack button pushed down to continue to deal damage / stun the last target hit for x seconds.

Nice
I would agree with you @Loest, i think the Bow would really work out well, and i also think the rocket launcher would work, except there would be a slow recharge time.
I would say a new type of Lance weapon would be better than a spear, slower than the flourish, less mobility, but more attack power and more reach
@Juances yeah u have a good point, but i think hammers would be more powerful and that it would have a downwards smash instead of horizontal, granting greater attack power but slower than the troika, and the charge would be a really powerful downwards smash

i want a bow
+1 on the idea, but I'd rather just continuously fire arrows than charging the attack.

Bow and arrow idea: would be quite interesting
Lancer idea: attack style: a literal charge, like slag guards and trojans: there is a second of prep. time (so others can see it coming) then you do huge lateral charge forward. direct hit can result in multiple impacts (like a levi charge) or only single hit if it only grazes enemy. Charge attack: wider range, can either catch more monsters in the "lunge" radius, or it can now "pierce" enemies and hit enemies behind each other.

Maybe.......
A Bow Was Cool, But The Hammer needs to do at least 100 damage at 3 star tier 1

Bow and arrow is primitive.

THIS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED A MILLION TIMES
You should use the search bar or AT LEAST scroll through the first and second page to look for similar threads.
The best I've seen so far on this same subject is this one:

You guys should credit someone who has actually taken the time to suggest something decently.

I would like a shield
I would like a shield weapon,or the option to equip any shield as a weapon.
Shield weapons would bash your enemies, not dealing to much damage but blowing them pretty far back and have a high chance to stun. I like beating things with shields, it just makes me happy ^.^

new weapon class suggestions
I was thinking maybe thrown weapons like throwing knives or something like that. They would have a high damage and low speed. I was also thinking of dual wielding weapons that don't do a lot of damage but have a very high speed.
EDIT: Nevermind, you Moved it.
