Proposal

A new weapon type that could consist of quite a number of new weapons along with some that are already in the game.

Weapons

Naginata
A polearm with a short curved single edged blade, could have variants

Halberd
Kinda like a small axe combined with a spear

Crescent moon Halberd
This could probably be some unique version of the halberd essentially having a crescent moon as the head of the halberd instead of an axe head

Lion’s Halberd
This fits more as a Colossal Polearm Cleaver

Atlantian Spear
This fits more as a Polearm Cleaver

Basic moves

(I would be glad if any of you would have better names for these moves, especially for the combo one since I don’t have any name for it)

Combo ability - Charge at your enemy with a sideways downwards cut followed up with a stab and then throwing the enemy overhead while still impaled.

spear throw - a spear throw

Crescent Slash - Kinda like a crushing judgement but with a cut in the end, much more limited attack size but higher damage compared to crushing judgement. Unique to the weapon type

Unique move

Sky Splitter - It’s essentially Lu Bu’s move from the Record of Ragnarok, where he grabs the polearm by the very end with thremendous strength and doing a strong vertical cut



In game it would probably take form in something that kinda resembles a sword draw flash strike but with no teleport, could also make a small shock wave at the end of the cut.

Available moves for this weapon type (Would kinda differ from colossal polearm cleaver)

  1. All of the moves stated above

  2. Sparrow Thrust (A lot slower compared to a spear/trident)

  3. Knocking Blitz

  4. Polearm Throw (slower)

  5. Whirlwind (Higher attack size but also slower)

  6. Flying Slash (Slower but higher attack size than an ordinary sword)

I am not sure if giving it the same balance treatment greatswords got compared to swords would be fit for this but it’s the best I could think of.

give us more skills first :pleading_face:

I want this (because the abilities sound based as hell), but also, before we add new weapons types, I think we need to add the abilities to existing ones (because I’m pretty sure maces/morningstars have like 3-4 abilities currently in game. Before you ask; yes this is a red herring fallacy, what are you gonna do about it?

I mean sure if it makes warriors good for once

Don’t know if vetex would allow a third variant type since so far the weapons only has two variants at max at the moment but so far this seems alright. Can’t wait to use to not for combat but as a utility like how I use greatsword as a wall breaker.

welcome back sparrow thrust bugs

Sword, Greatsword, Katana, Cutlass… they’re technically variants of one another, so the argument can be made for polearms

one of these is not like the others

What do you mean by that

sparrow thrust is an instant cone hitbox that appears in front of you without you teleporting when using the attack.

I wonder what that sounds like

Sure is kinda similar but that’s kinda it just similar slightly

yeah im just saying with vetex’s programming theres gonna be some bullcrap going on with this

uh oh

It still leaves 3, my point stands
