Hey guys, Calubur here with the post “NEW WEAPON TYPE” but this time it’s better. On my previous attempt to make the post (New Weapon Type) it sorta failed (well not sorta it totally failed) I got lots of comments telling me that it sucked or that it needs more details. So that’s why I’m here today, to give you more details. Now I still expect some hate coming from the community, as this is a new weapon type that is super slow, no one is used to it yet. I got a lot of comment saying that this weapon + ASI UV will make it OP which is why I have decided to make it the only weapon type/line that CAN’T get that UV no matter how hard you try.

This post is based on the original (and probably the worst post on the forums) if you want to see it to soak in the very few details it provides click here Link

The details of this weapon can get a bit messy, as I haven’t come up with names OR designs yet. But we can start out with the main look of the weapon. The 2* version of the weapon, or the very start of the weapon line is much like a big STICK yes a STICK that attaches to your swordie arm (right arm) and totally conceals the lower part of that arm. The way that you attack is much like a bomb, charge than unleash. The way you attack is kind of like a combination of the sealed sword like (starting at 4*) and the Troika line... The charge starts with a huge smash (like the Troika line) then unleashes 1 blade (3 star) 2 blades (4 star) or 3 blades (5 star) about half a second later. This weapon does massive damage, but in return for that it can only be used when charged, and is immensely slow. The line for this weapon is much like the Brandish line. It has every type of damage but this sword is also has piercing damage.

Now lets get into even MOAR detail about the attacks. Like you learned above it can only be used when charged. Now some of you may still think this weapon will be over powered with a CTR UV BUT what I didn’t tell you is that it will have a 1-2 second delay BEFORE actually dealing any damage (the part where you lift the sword above your head... yeah it’s pretty heavy) so the first part of the charge is nearly identical to that of the Troika line.

Next, lets get into DAMAGE!!! So as you know this weapon line has Normal, Piercing, Elemental, and Shadow that it can output as damage. So lets get into more detail about that. Normal damage, as anyone who is reading this post should already know about deals about the same amount of damage to EVERYTHING in the clockworks. So the damage for the 5 star version of the weapon (dealing normal damage) is in stratums. Stratums 1 first half of charge 80+? Then the second half (swords coming out) 50 per second? Maybe more or less? Stratum 2 all the damage just has +20 added to it. Stratum 3 has 30 damage added to the damage of stratum 2. Stratum 4 has 40 damage added to the damage of stratum 3. Stratum 5 has 50 damage added to the damage of stratum 4. Stratum 6... OVER 9000!!!! (Just kidding) add 60 damage to the damage of stratum 3. For all the other damage types it’s pretty much the same but if your doing damage to a monster that is neutral its the same damage output as normal. If your attacking something that is weak to the damage type (Ex. Shadow to a slime) add 50 to the normal damage. And if your attacking something that is resistant to it (Ex. Piercing to a construct) take away 100 damage from the main damage (just because its PURE insert damage type here there will be absolutely NO normal damage mixed in to the specialized damage. If you think the damage is overpowered (Maybe :P) Just post in the comments what you think the damage SHOULD be :3

That’s pretty much everything for this post if you would like to add anything, please do not hesitate to post in the comments! Also constructive criticism is appreciated!

Also for those that read my other post about this weapon (the sucky one) please tell me if I did better with this post!

Thanks guys!

I got a lot of comment saying that this weapon + ASI UV will make it OP

If it can only be used when charged, ASI will be about as useful on it as it is a Bomb. I think you mean CTR.

By isolating "Normal" in your damage-type chart, I'm assuming you're making Pierce/Elemental/Shadow all pure damage. Not really a reason for this, unless you think it'll be too weak in PvP and needs to do pure damage. Which may or may not be the case, I don't see a lot of Troika charge attacks killing people in LD.

Either way, making it purely one damage type sans-Normal will make it more powerful in PvP and less powerful in PvE (About the same on Neutrals, about the same on "Super-effectives", much less damage on enemies it's weak against).

Also, if it's a...stick...attached to your arm...you should have pretty sufficient leverage to move it around, unless it's immensely heavy. Which, since we carry around Divine Avengers in one hand, wouldn't be very likely, even if it were solid lead.

Finally, I think you mean new weapon line, not type. When you say type, I think Bomb, Sword, Gun, New Weapon, when this would fit under Swords.
