Spear Sword

The Spear Sword is a weapon used in ''Bro Warriors. ''It has a long reach, and is very fast. It is the main weapon of Spirit.

Overview
"The Spear Sword uses the WIND element to pressure opponents who are blocking. Any foe who blocks any of this weapon's special attacks are in for a nasty surprise!"

"Your opponents can block the Spear Sword's special attacks, but chip damage is ignored, which means that they will still take full damage from the attack! Watch out for bosses, though. For them, chip damage is applied normally, but using the Spear Sword's Amp Attacks will get around this."

"One of the most unique traits about the Spear Sword's moveset is that you can use Amp Attack 1 and the EX Attack in tandem with each other, which can deal massive damage to enemies or put them in an unescapable situation.

An ideal weapon for those who like quick movements and quick attacks, this weapon has long reach, and does great damage, which makes it excellent for crowd control. It even contains some zoning tools to keep faraway enemies at bay. Its main zoning attack is a weak projectile that has limited range, and it possesses a few high-risk, high-reward moves such as Sky Scraper. The EX Attack is a very unique projectile as it can even be used in the air. Cancelling Reppu-Ha into Mystical Space Typhoon is a valid strategy as it does more chip damage, and increases the move's range. Reppu-Ha is, without a doubt, one of this weapon's strongest attacks. The amplified version of it is no slouch, either. After traveling for a bit, regardless of it hitting an enemy or not, the amplified version creates a powerful tornado that traps enemies that are in front of it, putting them in a very tense situation.

Moveset
N1 - Direct slash attack.

N2 - Bisects the enemy with another slash attack.

N3 - Spin attack.

SA - Sky Scraper. Launches the player and the opponent upwards for a possible air combo. Comes out fast, but will leave the player open if they miss. The player is invincible during the start-up of the move. An invincible reversal.

EX - Reppu-Ha (Strong Gale Sword): - Sends out a small tornado projectile. Does not do much damage, but is good for crowd control, and zoning. It has the WIND effect, so enemies that are blocking will still take the full damage of the attack.

EX(ADDITIONAL INPUT) - Mystical Space Typhoon: The Reppu-Ha explodes, damaging anyone caught in its radius. This can only be used while the Reppu-Ha is active, before it hits an enemy.

EX(AIR OK) - Reppu-Ha (Sharp Eyes) - An aerial variant of Reppu-Ha that does more damage than the original, but it cannot be canceled into the explosion. However, it has excellent range and works best as a "get off of me" move, helping the player in the event that they are overwhelmed by enemies.

🡇EX - Wind Cape - Creates a small tornado that reflects projectiles, and brings foes closer. Multi-hit, has the WIND effect, and has very fast start-up.

AMP1- Reppu-Ha (Tornado) - An amplified version of Reppu-Ha. It fires a slightly slower projectile that travels a smaller distance than the original, but is multi-hit. Shortly after, it sends out a slow moving tornado in the opposite direction. Both projectiles have the WIND effect, so blocking enemies will still feel its full power, and it also affects bosses as well, meaning that even bosses will feel this attack's true power. Blocking enemies will be pushed backwards by the initial projectile, and then pushed forwards by the tornado. Perhaps one of this weapon's best moves as it gives the player multiple options regarding overwhelming their opponents with chip damage, either forcing them to continue blocking or go on the offensive.

AMP2 - Cyclone Slash - The player swings their sword, creating a powerful tornado around them that also posseses the WIND effect, and it deals massive damage to enemies, knocking them back, as well. This WIND effect also affects bosses, so even bosses that are blocking will feel this attack's full power. A very quick attack with good range.

HA - Gale Arrows: The player rushes forward quickly, breaking the sound barrier, and slashes their sword upwards, creating a massive tornado. Any enemy hit by the player during the animation will be hit with the WIND effect as well as the MISSILE effect. The tornado at the end of the attack is multi-hit and applies damage normally to all enemies.

A - Wingblade - Swords of Revealing Light

Awakening Trait: Extended duration. Gains access to a completely new moveset and can fly, however, this awakening costs 2 Spirit Diamonds instead of 1.

Awakening Attack: Swords of Revealing Light: Dance - Creates swords of light that hover around the user and create a flash of blinding light. If the user enters Awakening through this Awakening Attack, the duration of the Awakening will be decreased, and instead costs 1 Spirit Diamond. The user's attack will increase sharply as a result of using this attack.

Awakening Hyper Attack: Wingblade - Finish - Ascends in the air, and plunges all six swords of light into the ground, creating a blinding flash of light that heavily damages all enemies around the user. If a boss is hit, their Defense will decrease drastically.

Advanced Techniques

 * If the player pairs the Reppu-Ha and the A mped Reppu-Ha, they have multiple options: They can cause the Reppu-Ha (unamped) to explode, and even use the Amped Reppu-Ha followup. This strategy will deal massive damage to enemies, and even though they can block these attacks, the WIND effect ignores chip damage, which means that enemies will be taking massive damage when blocking. That doesn't stop them from pulling off an Advancing Guard, though.
 * If an enemy is blocking in front of the Amped Reppu-Ha's tornado, you can continue to attack them with your EX attack, chipping away at their health and doing damage while the tornado closes in, dealing massive damage.
 * The player can use Sky Scraper to launch foes into the air, and then use Reppu-Ha in the air to perform a binary beat combo.

Weapons

 * Spear Sword


 * Dragontail
