A while back I saw a suggestion asking for a slow piercing weapon a la a heavy sword.

Recently, while watching a certain cartoon that did not in any way inspire me creating this topic, I figured a Drill could fill this niche.

A user by the name of Pillboy suggested this Idea last year and it was requested that he flesh out the idea more. Unfortunately, the topic then died.

My idea i very similar, but with a few differences in the mechanics-

.

-THE WEAPON-

As Pillboy stated, simply a handheld Drill. I suggest it borrow the model of a pulsar/Polaris but with a large drill in place of the "barrel" that deals pure piercing damage. Probably a 3*-5* line of weapon as well.

-THE COMBO-

The first hit would be identical to all other heavy swords- a plain swipe. The second hit(and third) would be a forward thrust that hits twice. The total damage would be to the flourishes what the DA is to a 5*Brandish, slightly more power for a higher risk.

-THE CHARGE-

I propose the charge time be somewhere between that of the DA and Gran Faust. The attack itself would be a 3 hit forward thrust at 3* and a 4 hit dash modeled off of that of the WRH from 4* and on. Damage would be based off of the damage disparity between a Brandish and DA.

.

Overall, a heavy Piercing weapon that is modeled off of a 2 hit sword but with multiple hits per strike. While this would have seemed rather akward and ill fitting to the game before, it fits a bit better now with the release of the WRH.
