Allow us a Spear Red-Green Attack to Elevate Spear's Usage

[hkrile]

What I mean by this title is, spears have no real use in today's melee meta. Yes, it can preform sting and full circle, however, a sword outclasses the spear in both being stronger and being only one-handed. And while it can be thrown, should someone have high enough MM, they could just turn to a bow with high q arrows for a faster shot for slimier damage. What I'm suggesting is the spears be given a strong attack much like how swords have storm of swords and axes have raven's bite. This could help elevate spears to have a space on the meta stage, and create some more interesting combat encounters as well. Since there is a vacancy in the Red-Green strong attack for melee weapons, why not give spears there own move with the Red-Green color scheme?

Also make a non-throwable pike/spear/halberd a thing.

I feel like as long as the spear does so little damage it will never be used, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, adding random moves won't make a weapon viable. Swords are exclusively for melee only fighters, everyone uses a B12 because it's the only weapon that can actually kill.

Random damage moves might not work, but what if spear got opening moves that are as good as or better than UA ones?

[Robben_DuMarsch]

Or increased melee range.

[Potjeh]

How about support moves, let's say a Trip move that ignores openings and does no damage or opening increase, but instead causes target to lose some IP in all of it's combat relations? I could see that being useful in group combat. Should have like double normal melee range, ofc.

Possibly give the spear properties of a shield (certainly not against arrows, but for normal attacks)?
