Name: Vanguard.

Type: Tower Shield Dust Laser Lance

Weapon Derivation: Cu Chulainn's Gae Bolg + Monster Hunter's Gun Lance + God Eaters' Tower Shields.

Description: Basically, a lance. Like the ones used in jousts. To the sides of the lance, surrounding the left and right sides of the handle, are 2 halves of a shield, pretty square, heavy and resistant, around 50% bigger than the lance itself in terms of height and wide. They have, however, a semi-circular gap in the middle, facing the lance.

The lance itself is used like any other lance, thrust and thrust. With the press of a round button on the handle, the 2 shield halves spin until they clash at the center where the lance is. Their semi-circles in the middle surround the lance perfectly. This means that it turns into a tower shield with a long spike sprouting from the center. However, it can make it harder to see, and harder to handle the lance.

It also is capable of firing small, and I mean very small, shots using Dust, roughly the size of a baby's head. The shots leave a long trail behind them, and stick to the first surface they touch. After 5 seconds, they explode, releasing the elemental energy in a small area. Or in the case of Ice Dust, releasing ice spikes in all directions quickly and forcefully.

However, the weapon itself has a low firing rate, around 0,6 per second, and the shots aren't fast. On the other hand, the shots can travel far and hardly have their trajectory altered by external factors. When firing the weapon, the elemental energy appears and forms a spiral around the lance towards the tip before being fired.

Dust Capacity: In a compartment, inside the handle.

Ammunition: Dust Powder.

Notes: It can't pierce the heavens, too heavy :C Given the total weight of the weapon, a lot of strength is required to wield it.
