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)
-
All of the moves stated above
-
Sparrow Thrust (A lot slower compared to a spear/trident)
-
Knocking Blitz
-
Polearm Throw (slower)
-
Whirlwind (Higher attack size but also slower)
-
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.
