Nemesis + More Weapons

On Sunday, I reached level 25 for the first time with Technoblade! And I created my first nemesis. His name is Technophobia and he and his minions have super strength. I was so enthralled about my first nemesis mission I forgot to take pictures! Oh well, next time... My nemesis basically looks like a cowboy.

Anyway, I did take pictures of some new weapons:

I used these toxic blades for quite some time. I love the look of them and the toxic damage is very good.

I was able to make this pair of level 26 frost blades. Same blades as the toxic blades, but does frost damage instead.

This is my current favorite: electrified pick axes. They look like they hurt! Has an interesting sound to them too.

Crafting Fun Part 2: Single Blade

I noticed that the Single Blade power set has just as many weapon drops and mission rewards as Dual Blades. So, I had to make a Single Blade character.

I made a samurai called Saburo with the color scheme of Hakaida. He's only level 13 but he already has a couple of really cool swords. This first one-handed sword imbued with blue electricity. I love the shape of the blade and the hilt.


This second one is an electro blade but this time with a fiery yellow color. The hilt is very Highlander-like. Nice classic blade that's a refreshing change from the normal samurai swords.
I hope to see an ax in the future. Or maybe even a mace or a club.
Next up: Munitions Weapons

Crafting Fun: Dual Blades

One of the things I have learned recently to do is in-game crafting. Now, certain power sets lend themselves to more crafting than others.

Luckily, my main character has mostly powers from Dual Blades. I now have about 7-8 weapons that I either created myself or got through a mission and/or drop.
The first Dual Blades weapon is made was this frost blade. I looks cool because of its frostiness and looks even cooler when I'm twirling the swords around. From what I remember, though, it's not that powerful.
Then I got these vibro blades. They look as if the blades are electrified. Cool, but in a different way. From what I remember, this did decent damage.
Now we're talking. These flaming maces could do some really awesome damage at the level my character was at the time. It was also a totally different look. Everything up until now had a long, slender blade. I like the look of the mace. Very end heavy.

Then, it got even better. For a very long time, these electro axes were the bomb. I liked the blue sparking effect and once in a while, these Chinese characters would pop up while fighting. Pretty neat.
At level 22, I'm using these electro scythes. Kind of looks like that giant sword used in "Raiders Of The Lost Ark." Except that I'm using TWO of them that are sparking with electricity. With high amounts of dexterity and ego, I'm loving my weapon.
