The Excalibur

Description
The Excalibur
A tier 7 blade, with several abilties that will be listed below, along with a crafting recipe, a summary of what it does and can do and lastly a bit of a backstory to the development of this weapon! Credits will be in here vaguely but more detail will be in the discussion it will link when theres more people listed.

PLEASE NOTE
This weapon is NOT multiplayer friendly, meaning both you and the server or player you're joining require this mod, please stop asking! It is likely incompatible with mods with similar file directories or mods that rework vanilla scripts!
It IS compatible with FU and Elithian Races!


Abilities
Primary - Melee Combo:
This blade features an 11 hit combo created by the modder Ribs which has a few specialties to it... When active some of the hits in the combo will fire flying slashes, explosions and pulses to add to the power. It has an inactive and active stance, along with some more secrets for you to find!
Alternate - Smite:
The alternate is quite unique, when empowered you gain extra damage and it causes the primary combo slashes to consume energy upon each slash. It can also change element and damage type, however that remains to be unused. If the alternate ability is used whilst active, the player slashes but does not consume all energy, instead if you hold alt for a small amount of time, you instead stab the ground causing an explosion inflicting Protectors Drainage, which will be described later. The slashes from the primary and the alternate both inflict this effect as well.
Statuses:
This blade can inflict several statuses that help with the combat of this weapon, they will be listed below:
- Protectors Drainage = An effect that causes 3 projectiles to fire off of the enemy and home into whoever inflicted the status inflicting Rejuvenation onto the player
- Rejuvenation = Gives the player a 0.5 damage multiplier as well as minor health regen and minor energy regen.
- Protectors Touch = Highlights an enemy and if hit whilst highlighted they take extra damage from an explosion, similar to the Doomed status effect.

Crafting Recipe
Identity:
ID = "neb_excalibur"
For those of you too lazy to craft it or want to play around with it anyway to obtain it you need to type in chat:
/admin
/spawnitem neb_excalibur
and you will spawn it at your cursor!
Recipe:
Crafted at the separator addon upon acquiring the Protectorate Broadsword:
- 1 Protectorate Broadsword
- 100 Solarium Stars
- 50 Refined Violium
- 50 Refined Aegisalt
- 50 Refined Ferozium
- 15 Wires
- 5 Batteries
- 5k Pixels
- 1k Essence
Reasons:
Seeing as this is a direct upgrade to the Protectorate Broadsword, it will be in the recipe along with several other stonger weapons and end-game materials.

Credits:
Ribs - The creation of the combo.
Aegonian - Helping with a majority of the touch ups and polishing, the creation of the advanced melee combo and teaching me alot.
Degranon - Assistance in fixing the bug where the transition wouldn't work after a slam.

Backstory
So this weapon took me AGES, I mean it too, like jesus christ, over a year ago it began with a basic design which is still in the files if youre curious. It was put on hiatus for more mods and assisting others with their work and teaching newer modders, I came back to it about half a year later and made it better, but once again put it back on hiatus. Now I returned to it and prepped it for release and here we are, I truly hope you enjoy this marvelous weapon!

How to talk to me!
Lately I have been piggy-backing off of my friend, CaptainRumBarrels', server so if you join this server[discord.gg], here I am usually posting updates to what I've been making!
Please do not add me as a friend, just leave a comment, I see them all eventually!
I do not play the game casually, I only mod it, don't expect me to play with you.

Using this item and seeing the forced crying emote makes me smile a little. You accidentally referenced a short story I happen to like.

Are you sure you replaced the item? It might be a failure in updating the item.

I tried to remove the crying animation from the attack with rexmeck's item editor, but despite removing all the instances of "emote" = "crying" (or whatever it was called), it's still happening, WEIRD.
