Imperial Weapons

DO NOT EDIT WITHOUT MASTER OF ENERGY - MOSES' PERMISSION!

“Wow! Look at this sword! The hilt...it's a freaking gaming controller! Wonder how good this will work against our enemies.”

— Lloyd marveling at his Imperial Sword in The Key-tanas (episode)

Imperial Weapons are a type of weapons commonly used in the world of Prime Empire. They come in many forms, like katanas, scythes, etc. They can either be crafted, found, or bought. They were used by the ninja and the Ninjago City Gamers who were trapped in the game.

History[]

Early history:[]

The Imperial Weapons were added into 'Prime Empire' in the 2.35 patch notes. Before that, players only had access to normal weapons like shurikens, staffs, etc, but made with plain steel and normal colors. When players started to complain that the game was not fun enough, Legendary Games replaced the plain and normal weapons with Imperial Weapons. Whilst the different forms of the Imperial Weapons didn't have much abilities then, the players liked it very much and were quite pleased. The weapons remained the same for a very long time until the 6.80 patch notes. The Imperial Weapons got tweaked, which was upgraded to the Golden Empire version whenever players reached level 10. The Golden Empire version not only changed the look of the weapons, but also got new abilities. The players like it even better and made 'Prime Empire' even more popular.

Late History:[]

When 'Prime Empire' was re-released for arcade machines and consoles, the Imperial Weapons were tweaked drastically in a good way. The different forms of the weapons got skins that could be unlocked in different ways by the players. While some fans disagreed with the skin idea for the weapons, most liked it. The different skins did not change the Imperial Weapons' abilities, most likely due to Legendary Games not wanting the weapons to be too complicated. When the ninja entered 'Prime Empire' to save the trapped children, the ninja each bought a different weapon form and unlocked all the skins for the weapons, even the Golden Empire version. They kept it during the Ninjago Apocalypse and after it.

Appearance[]

Even though the different forms of the Imperial Weapons look different, they all have a gaming controller hilt. The blade of the different weapon forms are all neon lime green. Both the hilt and blade changes looks when the skin changes. When the weapons reach the Golden Empire version, the blade changes back to normal but the hilt changes into golden color.

Abilities[]

Important note: The Imperial Weapons deal 50% more damage than player melee attacks, thus meaning that players can beat 'Prime Empire' even without the weapons. Because of this, the search for the weaponkeeper objective can appear at random times and will not affect game balance.

All Imperial Weapon variants have blades made out of pure plasma energy and the hilt has a button that can retract/ignite the blade.
