Gwyn Blade

Gwyn Blade is Carmine Steel's signature weapon. It is a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe (HCSS) - a hybrid between a scythe and a sniper rifle.

Description
Gwyn Blade's namesake is based of it's most expanded mode, a giant blade of white hard light. Carmine's crest is engraved onto the weapon.

The most notable property of Gwyn Blade is its converting frame, which allows it to transform between four different modes: Carmine can effectively switch between fighting styles for each weapon mode. When he is using crossbow mode, he often remains stationary, usually taking vantage points. He can fire on the move however, but this proves to be less accurate. He keeps his distance while using this form.
 * A "storage" mode, its most compact form convenient for transportation, stored on Carmine's back.
 * A "dual-dagger" mode, where the body splits in two and the bows of the crossbow turn into two short blades, allowing for quick, short range melee combat.
 * A "crossbow" mode, where it takes the form of a medium-length, energy string, crossbow allowing for extended range combat.
 * A "sword" mode, its most expanded form, where the main body becomes the hilt and guard and a long, white glowing blade of energy sprouts from the center of the crossbow, allowing it to be used as a mid-to-close-range bladed melee weapon. If needed, the bottom of the trigger handle can extend to add a two-handed grip for more cutting power in a close-range fight

When using the dual dagger form, he is very aggressive and often remains on the move, using hit-and-run techniques. He uses his Warping regularly, coming up close to enemies slashing and stabbing enemies, then warping away. He relies on dodging and acrobatics to avoid attacks while using this technique. This causes his stamina to deplete faster however.

When using his energy longsword, he makes quick, sweeping two-handed blows. He uses blocks and parries as a defense against oncoming blows. He also switches to one-handed techniques from time to time and utilizes Omen and his Aura while doing so. While using this form, he remains cautious, waiting for enemies to strike before making his move, then returning with a series of aggressive counter-attacks.

Dust Use
Gwyn Blade is able to use different kinds of specialized Dust bolts;
 * Fire Dust - Fires an incendiary bolt that detonates and lights targets on fire.
 * Ice Dust - Allows Carmine to fire icicle bolts that detonates and freezes targets.
 * Electric Dust - Fires an electric bolts that briefly paralyzes the target.
 * Violet Dust - Launches a bolt that detonates on impact, releasing dark smoke that obscures vision.

Trivia

 * Gwyn Blade went through the most weapon design changes, starting out as a Submachine Gun that could transform into a Saber sword, then it was changed to a high-caliber pistol transformed into knife and sword, then it became a regular pistol that could transform into a sword and an energy pistol that could transform into an extended hilt that could combine to form a more powerful longsword, now it is the weapon you see today.
 * Gwyn Blade's name derives from the words "gwyn bleidd" which means "white wolf", a title given to the witcher, Geralt of Rivia.
