Light weight functioning more like shotgun or fusion, a burst of projectiles over a wide area with travel time. The melee damage is weaker but animation is slightly faster. Good target for perks like chill clip, trench barrel, reservoir burst, or one two punch. Favoring agility over defense the shield is replaced by infusing the user with energy allowing them to sprint faster and jump higher while holding down the block button until energy is consumed. Energy builds slower than shield energy but lasts slightly longer.
High impact, these actually slow your movement slightly, their attacks are slow and lumbering, but damaging. They do not have a projectile attack, but pressing the fire button will increase melee attack damage and apply the elemental energy it's affiliated with to the blade, kinetic glaives have an effect similar to adaptive munitions applied when you use its special ammo and deals extra damage to unshielded targets when in effect. Weapon is not able to use a shield, holding the block button instead prepares the weapon for a highly damaging powerful attack, can only be used with full energy, fully consumes all energy on attack... kinda imagining a chainsaw polearm... *whirrrRRRRRRR CRASH ANGLEGRINDER ON METAL NOISES WHIRRrrrrrrrrrr....* (yes I'm aware that a chainsaw pole arm is technically called a limb trimmer)

1 ReplyI like the ideas and one-two punch on a glaive gives me chills (if it actually works) although I feel like not having a glaive use a projectile attack kinda defeats the identity of it. Would the shields be different too? Idk... I just want an exotic stasis glaive I can use over Ager's :(
