Weapons & Equip One Way to Strengthen Influx Waver

[棱镜]

First, the reason Influx Waver need to strengthen is that Terra Blade is too powerful and can handle most situations effectively. While Influx Waver's damage is strong, it is too difficult to hit with a speedy or small target.
In my opinion, a great way is to give it homing capability. So I have an idea that move First Fracta's pattern to Influx Waver. It would make Influx Waver have a better hit rate and can be a better choice after Terra Blade.|

This is just power creep. Terra Blade is intentionally overpowered, so balancing other weapons around it leads to power creep.

Nah. It’s powerful enough anyway.

I think a rework to Influx Waver should, if it is implemented, be an increase in the skill ceiling; Terra Blade doesn't require much aiming, but it's very powerful, so a more powerful melee weapon obtainable near its time should be counterbalanced by requiring more skill to use properly.

Influx waver isn't designed to be used at longer ranges; its projectile decreases in size as it travels.

Just get up close and whack them with the sword.

Instead of homing, a buff to the projectile velocity would be a better option. You'd still have to aim but you wouldn't need to lead your shots as much.
