Exotic 3rd and Solar Sword
I’m a HUGE fan of swords and melee weapons in games, and Destiny is no exception. Since their fundamental usability buff they’ve seen a spike in popularity which makes me very happy (except sword peaking in crucible and trials BUNGIE PLZ ADDRESS THIS 😭)
I been thinking that we have a exotic Arc and Void sword
Both are very unique in their abilities.
But only having two options is a shame and with no solar option I began to think further.
Exotic sword idea. (Since there are only 2 and 1 is arc and another is void)
Solar sword
Styled with a katana and sheath
(Since you have a vortex frame, caster frame, adaptive, lightweight, and heavy frame so you could totally make a Sheath frame)
High swing speed, but low damage
And it’s heavy attack could be one of two things. 1 just a regular dash forward and swing like the quick fang/ gold tusk but using its guard as its exotic perk.
Guarding immediately before being impacted launches a counter attack
Or
Exotic perk a dash forward a preset distance slashing everything in its path
The counter would make sense with a katana in sheath style
But so would a dash with the quick slashes that come with every weeb fantasy of a katana.
Can’t have both tho cause that would be wildly op Obviously
But definitely make it solar since there’s no exotic solar sword
I’m aware it’s just wishful thinking but this is where lack of sleep gets me.
Thank you for reading and if your onboard with an idea like this consider giving it an upvote maybe Bungie will notice 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

For a solar sword to complement Temptation's Hook/ F. Guillotine... maybe something that breaks shields? A sword version of Eriana's vow? Or how about a burning guard that does damage to attackers trying to melee you? Or maybe one with a Dragonfly effect, that makes adds explode on one-hit kills and leaves pools of fire that burn for several seconds? Or one that does Izanagi-level damage on a heavy attack, but has to be charged with rapid add kills first? I also like the idea of a non-sword melee weapon, and the idea of more weps that are class-specific. A pair of cestus (spiky, bladed hand covers for the Titans) maybe a mid-powered set that goes in the energy slot? Maybe an exotic that does something special that goes in the heavy? Or yeah, just a big old warhammer for the titans, one that does a slam attack from the air? To keep it from being O.P., you use it like it's a bow -squeeze trigger for the windup, release to swing. A barbed chain whip for the Warlocks that can be swung in a circle to take out adds, or has a chance to entangle and stun a single target? A pair of short swords that buffs a hunter's dodge so that it goes further, or faster, or both? Or how about an in-and-out sword for the Hunters, one with a heavy attack that takes you into range for the hit on the trigger squeeze, then dodges you backward on the trigger release?

1 ReplyOn the subject of melee weapons and attacks... How about "Darning Needle" , or "Jigsaw Strike" , or, if you wanna think like a bungie designer "Alacritous Misericorde" Get this... it isn't a weapon. It's a mod for your arm protection. It makes your normal punch/knife melee look like a long dagger. It buffs damage slightly, and buffs the speed of the attack generously. Think of it as Fastball for your un-powered melee strike, for guardians who wanna be stabbing all the time. Give it a high energy cost of 5 or 6, so if invisible hunters wanna exploit it, it'll cost them most of the space in their gauntlets. Just putting that out there.... N

2 RepliesHonestly would rather they made the iron lord axe an exotic

3 RepliesA kinetic exotic sword that inflicts a bleeding debuff on enemies would be awesome. Maybe the DoT bypasses shields or something.

Edited by Demon_XXVII: 9/27/2020 3:47:26 PMI wouldn’t mind an exotic sword that can change elemental damage (like Hard Light) And each of the four elements get a special function Arc blades are thrown (already seen in game)/Tesseract style movement Void strikes grants invisibility, grants shield Stasis freezes surrounding opponents, grants melee & Solar offers Healing (Moving Guard - cone of life), Speed & Grenade energy to wielder & nearby teammates Just Examples ?

Young wolfs howl with debuff application it is then

I was thinking that if we get an exotic Solar sword, it should uppercut like Raze Light, or behave like a Hive sword and be slammed down, but plant a stream of fire in front of it too, allowing you to hit multiple enemies in a line. This gives it a functionality different than Worldine and Talon and behaves kinda like the Super on Hive Swords.

3 RepliesWhy's it always gotta be a katana with you people? Clearly, we need a two handed Chaos Zweihander and the Father's mask for Titan to replace the hideous monstrosity that is the OEM. Seriously, I don't know how anyone could ever put that ugly POS mask on. Obviously, the Zweihander would be the first sword capable of staggering unstoppable champions.

Edited by conkus805: 9/27/2020 2:23:00 AMbring back raze lighter but with a little twist to make it different. it still does its uppercut heavy attack, but it hits the target multiple times during its uppercut. kind of like when you timed Ken's uppercut in street fighter turbo edition just right, you would get 4hits from one move. the taller the target, the more hits you could get per uppercut.

1 ReplySo the style you’re talking about is actually called Iaijutsu, An counterattack-oriented Art. Just a little fun fact

Maybe Salad Bar can get his memory back & we can talk about THAT sword, the temple, a zombie servitor... and ahm.. yeah, all that 😋 Young Wolf indeed 🙄😂

2 RepliesPretty sure we’re getting a stasis sword this November. Could be wrong, but from the picture, it totally looked like a sword. And if it’s stasis, at least it’s a new exotic sword. One day we’ll get young wolfs howl, raze lighter, bolt caster, and dark drinker back. Every exotic will be back eventually. Even stuff like red death, gjallorhorn, and pocket infinity

Really cool ideas!

1 ReplyEhm... solar? How about a stasis sword. The heavy (titan) archetype. Heavy swing with long reach and higher damage. Heavy attack sends a stasis shockwave in a path forward slowing/weakening/freezing enemy’s in it path to cut them down afterwords.

So nerf fusion rifles?

6 RepliesTheir was once an exotic solar sword but Shaxx stole it from me and never gave it back.
