Novyx -> RE: =AQ= 2023 Golden Giftbox Cross-Game Extravaganza Ideas (12/15/2022 7:57:32)

Did someone say it's spear o'clock? I've got some gorgeous glaives and plethora of other pretty polearms to propose:
My favourite:
Shadowflame Glaive or its chromatic counterpart the Eternal Beastmaster's Glaive, which has colour customizability in its home game of AQW, meaning it shouldn't be too hard to make into any element you want, although the name Eternal Beastmaster's Glaive might shoehorn the effect into being pet/guest related.
Solid runners-up:
Wolf Lord's Spear would've contested the top spot for me if Thunder Lord's Spear didn't already exist in game. Could be nice as a Darkness or Ice counterpart though, as the auto-hit effect Thunder Lord's Spear has is rare among 0-proc ranged weapons (the other members of the club being the Protector Rods' ranged modes and the Ectomancer's Scythe, both of which have hefty downsides and as such are much less nice to use).
Meme Ripper Scythe was also quite the contender, but the angle of the blade might make it look strange for an AQ character using it.
Winter Legion Warrior Polearm is a bit of a mouthful, but could also look nice when shortened into a melee weapon, so it has flexibility.
Honourable mentions:
Eternal Juggernaut Spear takes advantage of my great affinity for Void or space-themed things, but every single Harm/Void spear so far is found in the GGBs, so maybe not the best choice.
Dragonsworn Champion Spear is quite elegant and though themed as Energy, could pass as Ice/Water easily.
Favored of Kyanos Polearm pretty solidly plants itself in the Ice camp.
Astravian Royal Spear is a bit of a wildcard in terms of what element it looks like it should be, but that makes it good gap filler.
Had a bunch of others too, but I don't want to create too long and unapproachable a list.
Legion-themed:
Dark Artist's Scythe looks like it was made for Dage's birthday this year, so it's a solid choice for Legion-themed giftboxes.
Other suggestions I'd throw in my support for:
Lord of Order Polearm from Broccoli
(Open) Zephyrus Tome from Deaf of Destiny
Auroran Cryomagus Tome from Deaf of Destiny
Aurous Staff of Hope from Bolter
And lastly, any that'd turn into Spellcaster lean armours like LUPUL LUNATIC's Infinite Dark Caster or Thegreenmoglin's ElectroMage Armor, as that niche has massive equipment gaps. Even spellcaster lean variants of the older crossover GGB armours Chaos Slayer Cleric would be great as it comes in 8 elements, making good temporary gapfiller while more interesting spellcaster armours are pending.
Guardian Giftbox effects I'd love to see return:
Helm of Frostval Past, both with its passive BtH increase and the on-click once per battle BtH boost (especially nice after the changes to monster dodging with the stat rework).
Cometoid/Meteoid Jelly and their ability to regen SP, as non-rare/premium options for that ability are both few and also highly conditional.
Invincible Star with its role of giving you a turn to tank damage to explore a boss' mechanics without getting 1 shot and having to start over again.
Pixel Ether's quick-cast MP regen/conversion is a great tool for mages to have, and can alleviate some of the punishment from spending MP unwisely for newer/returning players.
