I had literally this exact same idea a while back, accept it would release a projectile every time it slashed,
That's a very cool sprite! It's too bad it wouldn't be seen when the thing is swung.I was about to write a post about this. This is almost exactly what mine was going to say. XD
I had already made this sprite too:
The main reason I feel like the True Arkhalis is a good idea is because the rarest sword in Terraria deserves to have a hardmode upgrade.
Yeah, I agree that True weapons aren't that interesting, and it's cooler to make it a new weapon instead. I mostly named it this because it gets the point of "Arkhalis upgrade" across really quick. And honestly, I'd prefer to have the blade remain a direct upgrade to the Arkhalis to keep it in the spirit of the original... That is "rare and super cool, unique weapon". Making it without needing an Arkhalis first would kind of ruin that... odd charm.Lemme just say that I approve entirely of the general concept of this, even though I'm not entirely happy with how it's executed.
-I'm not a huge fan of "true-ifying" weapons. It's been done before, and I feel that it only really works with the two existing true weapons. Simple name change - I can suggest "Crissaegrim," since that's the sword the Arkhalis is based on. If copyright allows. I notice that the name is subject to change, so I'm guessing I'm not submitting an original sentiment here.
-Incorporating the Arkhalis's mechanics someplace else in the game is a fantastic idea, since a unique weapon like that deserves additional longevity. Keep in mind that its upgrade doesn't have to be crafted with it, although it could add thematic touches to have it as such.
-The Arkhalis right now is unfortunately too rare to bother with obtaining, so it might be advisable to make it easier to get, rather than just a joke weapon. You noted that it needs a higher spawn rate, and sure, that'd work, but there might be a better way of getting it (not from a schmoo, remember).
I approve!
A HIGHER DAMAGE THAN LEGENDARY MEOWMERE!? this is supposed to be a weapon before the meowmere. why should it have more damage!?That is a good idea, but...
Make the attack speed insanely fast plz.
And a higher damage than the legendary meowmere..
And change the name to Trakhalis
I assume the thought process is that it's such a close-range weapon, but I can't really say. It seems fine as is.A HIGHER DAMAGE THAN LEGENDARY MEOWMERE!? this is supposed to be a weapon before the meowmere. why should it have more damage!?
The fetid bagnakhs are an upgrade to the bladed gloves and the arkhalias has a swinging motion.Aren't Fetid Bagnakhs, in a way, is True Arkhalis?
They're actually quite different, functionally. The Arkhalis has more range than the Bagnakhs and Bladed Glove, and can attack in all directions, also having a very different attack animation. Though there are similarities.Aren't Fetid Bagnakhs, in a way, is True Arkhalis?
Me? Never!This is great. I hope it comes, as Arkhalya has been here foreshadowing foreshadowing!
