From what i see, these weapons only go from 1* to 2*, will there ever be any 5* versions? Cause in my opinion, these weapons look insanely awesome!
Hot edge, Searing edge, Static Edge, and Shocking edge.

Yep
Kellnox has it right. The brandishes already make those lines go to 5*. If you were around in the beta(and you weren't, I see), the stun haze bomb was 1 star. All the other status haze bombs upgraded from there. That was a HUGE flaw. You could craft 10 haze bombs in one day, instead of 2, meaning you could craft them 5 times as fast as other items that start at 2*. Because of this, there were TONS of UVs for haze bombs.

Not exactly, the mechanic they lack is the ability to inflict status on standard hit.
Just throwing that in there.

actually the only difference
actually the only difference is that the edges have "a small chance to set enemies on MINOR fire/shock at the third regular hit. ", while the brandishes couldn't.
but it can be easily compensated by the good chance of inflicting STRONG status of brandishes' charge attacks.

If the devs wanted to balance the items into being usable, they would halve the damage and make them deal status on almost every hit. Then they would always scale with the difficulty of the tiers, and would allow for newer players to play side by side with players in any tier, provided that they never take any hits and play perfectly which as we all know isn't going to happen, but is what needs to happen... so it would be incredibly good game design to do something like this IMO.

No weapon/armor ever goes from 1* to 5*.
Voltedge and Combuster. They work the same way, they're just not in the same alchemy path.
