Now my brain is starting to remember things...

Originaly scythe? A close range fighter? Perfect!!

Here's some idea : I drew this baby 2 years ago. Don't mind the "Invisible Spike", I'm suggesting the "Melee Buster". I named that way for some reason. It is literally because Its a weapon that can disables opponent's melee capability in close combat.

Notice the "Dangerous Area 1 & 2"?

Dangerous Area 1 - Suppose you're a melee weapon user versing someone with that weapon. Should your weapon enter the dangerous area, your opponent can perform a sudden transformation (Swallow into Crosspike) that will grab and throw your weapon off your hands.

Dangerous Area 2 - This is more dangerous than the 1st. The sudden transformation (Crosspike to Swallow) can scissor off your weapon, snatch it away, breaking it, or even cut off your hands or legs if you're using bare knuckle against that weapon user. 

Thats why....

I know people probably thought that weapon is inspired from DW6 Lu Bu. But that's not where I got the inspiration from. Way back before I knew DW6 Lu Bu, there was a Hong Kong comic books adapted in my country titled "Pedang Maha Dewa" or "Weapon of The Gods". There was this specific antagonist who wield a 4-edged green blade. Ever since I saw that, the image of that weapon got stuck in my head. It was so weird and I think it is a type of weapon that hard to handle.

And the other inspiration is this. One of traditional weapon in my multicultured country.

If you want to take the idea, you might wanna twitch the design. Especially the color. The color motif of the blades is (honestly) a rip-off of certain swallow user's weapon.
