The Best Defense - Melee Creation Contest!

[Sylvr]

Name: Predator Gauntlets

Faction: Corpus/Tenno

Weapon Type: Fist

Putting the PREY in OSPREY, these powerful mechanical gauntlets use Zanuka inspiration utilizing Corpus design against itself. (Shockwave Moa legs, Osprey engines)

*Possible idea - Jump strike creates knockdown aoe similar to Shockwave Moa stomp?

[Goatfox]

Name: Aescula

Grip: Scythe

Faction: Orokin

Description-

Built in the shape of an ancient Orokin symbol of healing, Aescula can mend allies and damage foes.

The Aescula swings like a scythe, but a mechanic for healing would be required. It needs 24 melee kills to charge (one for every Green/Blue spine inside the blade which colorize when charged), and once fully powered, alternate fire (toggled) would make the user bear it like a crossbow. Blocking/channeling at the same time in alternate fire and the scythe will emit a beam of energy to a teammate it's aimed at. This regenerates health/shields.

Faction: Infested
Brief Description: The weapon pulses in your hand like a handful of maggots. The compulsion to drop the defiled thing is strong, but it won't let you go until your enemies are dead. On a critical hit, the basket hilt clamps down around the tenno's hand and stabs your current opponent to death or for a couple seconds at an increased attack speed. Rapier grip.

Used by the guards of the Lotus, this weapon has high corrosive properties to melt away armor so the blade can carve the flesh beneath. Successfully blocked melee attacks from an enemy will deal a status proc to the enemy unit.

The Tenno writing is on the sword it means.
Side 1: To pay an unpayable debt, I give my live to her.
Side 2: Her guardian, her ally, her friend. I am her knight.

• Type - Gunblade
• Description - All normal melee attacks deal physical damage, however the charged attack will propel a projectile that implodes on impact pulling in enemies dealing the physical damage converted to radiation with 100% status chance on direct hit.

Luna & Sol Dual Short Swords

Faction: Tenno

Grip/Stance Type: Dual swords

Brief Description: 
Similar to the Silva blade, Luna & Sol are crafted by the Tenno, using ether technology. However, without requiring a balance of protection and damage, Luna & Sol focus solely on raw power. Functioning similarly to the dual Dakra blades, a series of quick slashes from these dual swords will leave enemies in tatters.

Other Note:
This is my first time submitting to a Warframe design contest, so I would like to apologize for the lack of detail in the drawing. It's mainly because I don't have access to the best digital drawing applications/programs and I'm not very good at traditional drawing, so I just made use of what I do have. I also didn't know if there were any sorts of limits on things like grip design and such, so I basically just designed the blades and hilt decorations.

[AquaTalon]

Faction:

Tenno (possibly Lotus designed)

Brief Description:

Class: Rapier

While any weapon in the hands of a skilled Tenno can be deadly, this rapier has been crafted to enhance the innate channeling abilities of the Tenno through a conduit encased in an ether crystal blade. When channeled, razor sharp energy projections appear like petals and burst forth to slash and pierce any foe in their way with each strike. Designed to match Warframe’s blend of Western and Eastern Art.

On a gameplay side, I wanted to design a weapon that took the channeling mechanic and gave it a really cool and unique payoff.

[Perroart]

Name: Gertha & Null

Faction: Corpus

Type: Sword and Shield

The best defense is a good offense, with this concept in mind, the corpus engineers as part of their new technologies studies they gave life to some imposing weapons able to create little electric traps that does electric damage in an area. These, The Gertha & Null

[Pixception]

Corpus - Glaive

 

The Advista is a glaive that has 3 pseudo blades; the blades themselves are simply stiff wires used to conduct electricity. When thrown, the blades are launched out of the center while still being connected with wires, and while it is air born, the Advista will leave a trail of Corpus advertisements in words. 

Codex entry: Utilizing technology originally designed for scrapping old robotics, the Advista was seen as a perfect opportunity for investors to get some free advertisement. 

If I got the right letters, it should say "buy one get one for higher".

Ketesys
Infested weapon.
-Dual Stance Weapon, Polearm weapon / Gunblade
-Corrosive base Damage
-Charging the weapon leaves a trail looking like corrosive flames of the energy color (Only Visual FX)
-Gunblade shots spits corrosive fire of the energy color
-The Ketesys when used against the Infested will ''speak'' to them by excusing itself from doing harm. (What more Canadian than that?)

Is that fine?

[CoryAwesome]

Hasu

Faction: Tenno

Grip Type: Whip

The Hasu is a beautiful weapon that blooms into a devastating floral whip. Based off of the Lotus flower the Hasu opens the more it is used in combat. Once Hasu is in full bloom it reveals its inner power. (As combo streak is built, status chance, crit chance/damage, is increased)

[PrecisionStrike]

Weapon: Arm Lanx -> Mutalist Lanx Claws (I know the names need work but yes it is based off of the shark like creatures on Uranus)

Faction: Tenno -> Infestation

Description: Massive arm claws inspired by the deep designed to tear through the greatest of enemies. -> Infestation has overcome these claws to feast on all who oppose you.

Notes: Should be dual wielded, but art skills lack so only drew one. There are a total of 5 blades (the 2 smaller are also on the opposite side) and there is a spike coming out by the elbow.

So this weapon is very important to me for a couple reasons that I'd like to share but feel free to ignore. I like to immerse myself in game play by projecting myself into it, whether it be designing my character after myself, having them make choices that resemble mine, or using equipment similar to my own. Well I've trained with a massive hand claw called arm shark for quite some time, and you have no idea how much joy it would bring me to have my warframe wield something similar. It would be such a crazy and unreal experience that I am convinced I'll shed tears of joy. So DE please, PLEASE, even if I don't win, or you don't like my spin on the claws, here's the original, and I would be so happy if you brought them into the game somehow:

 

[ktaswell]

Name: Irusang

Faction: Orokin

Brief Description: Originally of Orokin design, the Irusang is a rapier which siphons blood from its victims. As the blood well fills, the weapon's damage increases, however, stored blood can be consumed and converted into high damage penetrating darts (with alt-fire) which are launched into enemies in a fluid thrusting motion. (Thrusting lunge forward launches the dart.)

Inscription on the hand guard in tennobet: "From blood, strength." 

Note - In the weapon itself, blood is siphoned through the blade into the hilt - the red highlighted area fills with blood. 

Blade length, mostly to scale...

Name Orkin Eye

Stance: Sparring or Fists.

Fraction : Red Veil 

Have the mouth of the weapon that looks like a dragon head open up Stretches open more as the more victims it claims and energy absorbed.  Dragon head and eye in move around frantically the more it  claims victims and or melee combo multiplier or when the weapon is charged. I was thinking of this weapon as being biomechanical  but not Pre infested. maybe have it grow overall bigger as the more carnage it causes. Make pipes eyes and various parts glow. All about the energy.

So here goes.

Aine Mas

Faction: Tenno/ New Loka

Grip type: Mace

Aine mas will be a kanabo and mace hybrid with a hollow head that resembles a lantern. I named it after the Irish goddess of Midsummer and the Gaelic word for mace. It has a small swarm of razorwings that attack based on the status chance doing slash damage. The studs along the shaft act nodes for the razorwings to dock with. When dormant they rest on the shaft and act as extra flanges or idly circle the mace head.
