Alpha Reignburner

"This is probably going to be in my 1000-degree knife compilation list."
==/// SUMMARY==
The Alpha Reignburner is a fire-element melee weapon that has numerous offensive abilities that excel against crowds, notably being capable of passively dealing continuous resistance-bypassing damage to nearby enemies. It lacks damage-over-time effects and has slightly weaker mobility.
This weapon is exclusive to Alpha Testers of Defend the Statue: Nostalgic Proctors Edition (DtS:NP). It is unlocked on Wave 4 and can be purchased for $2,500. When bought, this weapon will lock out other weapons with a Max HP boost.
==/// MECHANICS==
This weapon passively heals the user by 10% of their Max HP from direct kills. While held, it provides freeze immunity. Kills from Flame Pillars heal the user by 5% of their Max HP. Flame Pillars and Flame Rings bypass enemy shields.
=== // INFERNO===
Like Firebrand's Heat, dealing damage with the Alpha Reignburner through direct swings will build up its Inferno, and not dealing damage for an extended period of time will cause it to decay. The amount of Inferno gained scales to the amount of damage dealt.
Having any amount of Inferno grants the user a flaming aura which continuously deals damage to all nearby enemies in a small radius and bypasses enemy resistances, like Gamma Ray Potion's effect. It does not bypass enemy shields, however. The aura's damage and contribution scales to the amount of Inferno collected; higher Inferno means more damage and contribution.
The aura remains active and will continue to deal damage even if Alpha Reignburner is unequipped, only ceasing when the user runs out of Inferno.
===// LUNGE ATTACK===
Every third swing will be a Lunge Attack, bypassing enemy shields. Alpha Reignburner receives less momentum from a Lunge Attack.
===// CHARGE ATTACK===
Holding [LMB + R] initiates a Charge Attack, and releasing [LMB] at any point unleashes the attack. Alpha Reignburner receives less momentum from a full Charge Attack.
Alpha Reignburner's fully-charged Charge Attacks also bypass enemy shields.
===// EVADE===
Pressing [SHIFT] propels the user towards their currently-approaching direction at the expense of Stamina. Alpha Reignburner's evades give the user less momentum.
A successful Timed Evade heals the user by 10% of their Max HP. 
Evade Counters bypass enemy shields and spawn one temporary Flame Pillar at the struck enemy's position, rapidly dealing mage-class damage to any enemies inside. There is no technical cap or cooldown for spawning Flame Pillars.
===// BLOCK===
Holding [Q] makes the user block, significantly minimizing incoming damage at the cost of weapon durability. Alpha Reignburner has slightly higher durability.
A successful Perfect Block heals the user by 20% of their Max HP and instantly maxes Inferno. In Burst Parry, Alpha Reignburner attacks +10% faster, and the user is surrounded by a sizable Flame Ring that continuously deals mage-class damage to all enemies within its range.
Parry Counters bypass enemy shields and spawn one temporary Flame Pillar at the struck enemy's position, rapidly dealing mage-class damage to any enemies inside.
