I have managed to get my hands one some name and description tags so I'm thinking of Sakuya-fying my Strange Knife but i can't think of any good things to name it. Any suggestions?
Also, i haven't seen any of the new weapons in-game yet. Does anyone know how strong/good they are?
On Sakuya-style names, I suggest looking over her spell cards and/or stage themes for some ideas. Touhou wiki is your friend. At one time, I was going to use "Misdirection", "Illusional Misdirection", or "Lunar Clock" for some of my Spy stuff, but found something that fit better. Help yourself to those if you wish.
The only new weapon that I've seen in action is the new Minigun. Yeah, that thing is... interesting. The ring of fire that surrounds the Heavy is wider and stronger than you'd think, and paired with the damage from the gun itself, it is quite deadly. Handy to keep Spies off of him. It's supposed to chew through ammo very quickly, but I have yet to see a Heavy run out of ammo while wielding it.
I haven't seen the new sapper in action, but that video posted earlier along with other testimonies that I've read make it sound quite frustrating to fight against. I even heard that they were thinking of speeding up the time it takes to downgrade buildings. D:
