If I were to make a RWBY game where you create your own custom weapon, it'd end up being a little bit complex.

Of course, there would be three types of attack, but for a weapon, you could only choose two: Melee, gun, raw Dust. You could also choose to have your weapon just be raw Dust itself, but that would be a very hard route.

Basically, remember that World of Remnant: Dust said that using raw Dust requires a high level of discipline, or else it can get out of control.

Each type of gun has its own skills, each type of melee weapon has its own skills, and using raw Dust with a melee weapon has its own skills. So, what skill tree you end up with depends on what weapon combination you choose.

Using raw Dust requires you to level up your Aura Control ('cause Dust is activated by Aura) along with your leveling up with using Dust. It's not as big of a deal when you're using a melee weapon with raw Dust (like Myrtenaster), but it's a big deal when you're solely using raw Dust (like Cinder). If your Aura Control level isn't on level with or higher than your Dust Weapon skill or whatever, there's a good chance using that skill will just cause damage to yourself and nothing more. So, don't keep spending points on getting new Dust skills but not on Aura Control.
