I'd like a mid-show upgrade of all the main characters' weapons (maybe Ruby has a brain-wave or the old versions are destroyed in a climactic battle and need to be replaced/upgraded).

Ember Celicia Mk2 - Can use many different dust payloads and Yang can rotate the ammo through the loading mechanism to select which shell she wants to use next. Also a wide range of utility options like a grappling or snaring lines; also Aura-channeling shield plating in the wrist-back casing that can even be used in retracted mode;

Crescent Rose Mk2 - A Dust crystal can be fitted into a mechanism in the centre of the main hinge that enables Ruby to charge the blade with elemental energy; the red casing around the blade is upgraded with shielding Dust (uses Aura energy to generate a tactical-level force shield, capable of stopping high-energy attacks) to enable Ruby to use the weapon to literally 'bat' away incoming ranged attacks or, in rifle mode, as a shield wall generator;

Myrtenaster Mk2 - Fast reload mechanism so Weiss does not have to reload the chambers individually but can quickly swap the cylinder for a fresh one; might also give her a second dagger-sized version so she can dual-weild in close combat;

Gambol Shroud Mk2 - An accelerator coil running along the top of the sheath so Blake can attack the pistol muzzle to it and use it more effectively at long range.
