Faction: Tenno

Brief Description: Messoris The Messoris is one of the Tenno's lost relics. Legends says that this Great Scythe was used in rituals of purification. Utilizing Heavy Blade Stances, the Messoris focuses in Critical and Slash damage, while swinging at enemies with great speed. It also has a unique feature: For each enemy killed, the Messoris absorbs their souls. Performing a Charged Attack with the Messoris while the combo counter is above 50 will release a soul wave that destroys everything in its path. Each charged attack will increase the critical damage by 50%, but will also reduce the combo counter by 50.

Name: Chronus

Faction: Tenno

Weapon Type: Hybrid (Heavy Blade/Polearm)

Description: This hybrid weapon represents two eternal respected by the Tenno: Time and Death.

Stances: Heavy Blade Stance (Cleaving Whirlwind/Rending Crane/Tempo Royale), Polearm Stance (Bleeding Willow/Shimmering Blight)

[(XBOX)AC1DGro0ve 3o3]

Name: Dual Argos 

Faction: Tenno

Grip-type: Dual Swords

Build requirements: Dual Zoren / x10 Argon Crystals / x5 Gallium / x3 Nitain Extract

Description: Dual hatchets made from Argon Crystal. 

Mechanics: Primary damage is Slash. 'Blocking' charges the weapon's Slam Attack multiplier. Slam Attack releases a wave of argon energy which crystallizes the enemy. When crystallized, the enemy is immune to status effects, but physical damage is multiplied by the attack multiplier. Crystallized enemies shatter when killed and have a rare chance to drop Argon Crystal. Shattered enemies are immune to Nekros' Desecrate.

The Ranger

Faction: Tenno

Brief Description: The Gun/Blade weapon remains in its straightened position during normal attacks, acting as a normal melee sword weapon. When the weapon fires, the bottom trigger is depressed, causing the sword to flip downward in to its gun like mode. The second trigger pull fires a high caliber pellet spread with punch through effects. After firing, the triggers are released and the weapon returns to its upright position. 

Unique to this weapon, it can be modded with a stance mod for a standard sword, or a stance mod for use as a gun/blade.

In my opinion, the best defense is a good defense. Since I'm 9 pages in and have seen about two pieces of "original" creations, while most are just blatant steals from other games (or yet another polearm, like we need more of those) I'm just going to blatantly steal from our OWN game. Originally. 

Here we have it boyos. The good ole, state of the art Shield-shield.

As we can see, rather than taking something random lying around (a pole, a whip, an axe, etc) and adding an axe to it, labeling it as a "Tenno"-alignment weapon, we have here a bonafide classic, a random-&#! slab of metal with some peekaboo eye-holesies, labeled as a Grineer weapon, as the peel, lick, and slap label of Grineer Superiority is located on the top right corner.

Below, we will discuss the details of this fine-&#! piece of weaponry.

OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES:
As you can see, this is a blunt weapon. No, there isn't a needle hidden somewhere to add puncture. No, there's not a buzz-saw that pops out and eviscerates foes when you use your finishers on them. To be perfectly blunt, this is the most original non-deviantart un-special not-tumblr weapon that could POSSIBLY be added to warframe going into update 20-something.

So it doesn't have a hidden blade, or some kind of gun?
Didn't you just read the last paragraph? No, this thing's a fine-&#! classy woman, she doesn't need to carry around blades and guns and whatnot, that's what she has her man for.

What about a hidden laser?
Pls oh gawd no. Just a slab of metal.

What if we mounted a turret on it?
Stop guys. Really please stop.

Why don't we make it summon a torrent of water to blast foes away?
What on earth is wrong with you? It's just. A slab. Of metal.

If we're going classic, can it actually copter?
Yes.

Sometimes shield is smashing board?

Faction-Infestation

Created by the lost weapons of solo Tenno attempting to face Lephantis, the Dual Kamas, Dual Skana, and Orthos have fused together through Infestation. The weapon can be used as pole arm with the Bleeding Willow stance, or as dual scythes with the Crossing Snakes stance. The weapon is conjoined at the center to resemble Lephantis's Infested Grineer weapon, meaning it is always sheathed while the weapons are joined, no matter the stance. The tendrils that protrude off the sides of the weapon hang loosely. While Channeling, the gaps inside the scythe blades flow with energy; the conjoined area while in pole arm form also glow. The weapon has heavy Gas damage with high status chance. 

 

This is the raddest out of the bunch! A most excellent weapon!

Name: Magnetic Dual Blades

Stance: Dual Sword 

Faction: Tenno / Infested

Description: Designed by early Tenno as an experimental weapon against the first appearance of infested hoard. These blades were designed to take advantage of magnetic energy,  holding floating blade pieces in proper form without needing a full blade, allowing a much faster and lighter weapon to be created with magnetic energy to aid in the attack against larger and more aggressive infested. These blades were once lost in the ruins of old battles against the infested but have since been unearthed and brought back to the Tenno. One of the blades has however, become so overgrown with infested biomass that it is now a living weapon, with two mouths spitting out aggressive tentacles that hit like steel whips. 

Off hand blade remains unaffected by the infested, allowing the weilder to fully appreciate it's traditional Tenno design and the soft glow of the magnetic energy holding the blade pieces in place as well as the glowing magnetic reactor core in the hilt of the blades handle.

Designed to have a high attack rate, high critical and moderate to high status effect % with a low to moderate base attack.  Magnetic status effect comes standard with this weapon, obviously with the game designers option to allow viral or corrosive damage from infested blade. Infested mass  growing on weapon should resemble bulbous tentacle masses and swimming fishlike creatures like in the floor of the cyst removal room of landing craft. Upper mass has two mouths facing either side of blade, actual attacking tentacles from charged attack should launch from these. Sliding attack should become a stabbing lunge and ground slam attack should cause magnetic pulse, damaging nearby enemies and causing extreme damage to shields. Add infested chirping sound effect to such attacks or at random during weapon attacks. 

 

This blade is not a whip sword. Based on dual heat swords. I'm color blind so that's up to someone else sorry

I suck at drawing/art, but lets see if I can get my concept across :) 

========================================================================================================================================

Stance :Staves

Faction : Tenno

Description :

- Impact damage without channeling

- With channeling blade opens up and there is a vortex ball that pulls enemy to the weapon deals magentic damage

- Unchanelling while enemy is stuck on the weapon will deal impact damage

- Enemies that didn't die will unstuck from the weapon

- Can pull up to 3 enemies

- Can swing with enemies still attached to the weapon, more enemies attached, slower the attack, higher the impact damage. 

- Can pull down ospreys and other flying enemies

[(PSN)Ashli1801]

cho no renchi the japanese translation for gut wrencher uses the pole arm stance to create an accurate sweeping motion of a real sycthe. This weapon uses slash damage with the status effect of corrosive damage . It uses a sweeping motion to slice enemies in half while its finisher uses a tri twist point to pierce the enemies skull the corrosive animation manifests on the top and bottom of the sycthe . This is a grineer based weapon

Agony

Excuse potato drawing because I am not an artist.

Faction: Infested. Agony is an infested maul that uses the hammer grip type.

Description: “A twisted amalgam of bone and sinew grown from fragments of ancient infested, Agony is a vile hammer that feeds on pain - be it that of its victims or its wielder.”

Agony vaguely resembles an ancient Earth kanabo. Underneath the bony outer carapace, infested tissue can be seen pulsing, hungering. Agony grows spikes and glow with the weapon’s energy color when channeling and retract when channeling is disabled. Agony features a unique combat loop: the Tenno sacrifices warframe health to deal extra damage to enemies while channeling. When injured, they use charge attacks and ground slams to inflict bleeding upon their foes. Striking bleeding enemies restores their health, allowing them to channel again to deal extra damage. The cycle of pain continues.

Mechanics

• High IPS damage, heavily weighted toward puncture.
• Slow striking speed, but long reach with both normal swings and ground slams.
• Extremely high channeling multiplier.
• Does not consume energy while channeling, instead consuming the warframe’s health with each enemy struck by a channeled strike.
• Warframe health cannot be reduced below 2HP by Agony’s leech effect.
• Agony loses its channeling bonuses if it cannot leech HP from the warframe.
• Striking enemies that are bleeding restores a small amount of health to the warframe for each enemy struck.
• This effect only works while Agony is being wielded (ie: not quick melee).
• If the warframe is bleeding, Agony’s channeling damage multiplier is increased.
• Ground slams and charge attacks have 100% chance to inflict bleeding on all enemies struck by the blast.
• Ground slam impact area is denoted by a temporary infested “meat carpet”

[Cloverdew]

Uses Galatine grip

How it works:

That sword have stage-mechanic. When tenno kill with sword 3 enemies in 10 seconds the sword get 1 stack (expand size and damage range). 3 stacks maximum and their count display on sword!

After 3 stacks reached, tenno could use charged attack - send two energy waves (looks like excalibur exalted blade attack). After charged attack used - stacks reset (size and damage range also).

[OptimusRex007]

There is my proposal:

Faction: Orokin (or maybe Tenno, given the japanese inspired weapon)

Brief Description + Artwork (see images)

hope you like it! :)

Faction: Orokin (Pre-Sentient prototype)

Description: Early weaponization of what would later become the Sentient.  With each strike, this rapier changes damage types to exploit the weakness of its target.

I wasn't satisfied with how this turned out, so I reworked it.

[noobneutraliser]

Name: Peace Maker (change it if i get picked, i'm not good at naming things) 

Grip Type: Sword and Shield

Faction: Tenno

Description: A powerful sword and shield of unknown origin that focus the power of the warframe to fuel their hard-light workings.

Notes

-The shield comes comes together when not in use and rests on the players arm, whilst the sword attaches to the players hip or back

-the sword uses all 5 colour options (primary, secondary, tertiary, accents and energy) but shield only uses 4 (primary, secondary, tertiary and energy)

-Lotus symbols are metallic 

[Jago47]

 Gladus & Dendra

 Faction: Corpus 
Weapon type: sword and shield
Description: After the Corpus saw the destructive power of the serro, they developed the Gladus & Dendra,
to improve the survivability of the Prod Crewman.

Description of the Weapon: Since Gladus is basically the sword equivalent of the Serro it will deal electricity damage.
To give the shield a purpose blocked damage should either restore your shields and if you are already at full shields create overshields
or converte the blocked damage into additional damage.

Name: Dreamcatcher

Faction: Tenno (Zenurik origin)

Type: Sword and Shield

Short description: a lightweight bundle of a plasma sword and a micro kinetic assimilation shield.

Design inspiration: dreamcatcher, dr. strange, starwars, lotus

--------------------
Lore:

To strengthen and assure dominion over a battle, the Zenurik school sought to create a shielding device called the Dreamcatcher that would exploit blocking ranged attacks, by converting the momentum and stored energy of blocked physical (pellets) and plasma projectiles into pure reusable energy, in a process called micro kinetic assimilation.

Initially there were problems with overheating the assimilation system and the Warframe suit without means of dispersing overcharged assimilation. A plasma saber was then added both as some measure of offensive capabilities that would serve as an energy sink via heat dissipation.

Due to redirection synergies in this process, the Dreamcatcher has a very low channeling cost.

Other Tenno schools later adopted and tuned the technology to match their ways.
--------------------

Advantages:
- Particularly useful for energy intensive Warframes with low defensive capabilities
- High puncture damage
- High attack speed
- High status chance
- High blocking percentage
- Converts blocked ranged attacks into energy (or other varying with Focus Lenses)

Disadvantages:
- No impact damage
- Low critical chance and critical damage
- No assimilation against Infested (or any other melee attacks).
- Short range

Mode swapping is made possible through lenses:
Greater Zenurik Lenses: Power mode (converts blocks to energy, improved over no lenses version)
Greater Vazarin Lenses: Shield mode (converts blocks to shields)
Greater Madurai Lenses: Discharge mode (converts blocks to channel damage that decays overtime)
Greater Naramon Lenses: Radiation mode (converts blocks to radiation damage that decays overtime)
Greater Unairu Lenses: Galvanic mode (converts blocks to corrosive damage that decays overtime)

Other Mod ideas:
Overcharge Mod: if the maximum charge has been reached and more energy is being absorbed, the
Dreamcatcher will shine even brighter and melee attacks will deal extra Heat damage.
