Dear Elitepvpers Conquer members :). Today i am here to show u on how to use the alpha channel by using weapons. For this guide i am using Sir Magus blade the Cloud Buster Blade. I know many people have mastered this skill but not many people know about this skill. Warning the image might be hard to see so there is a link in the bottom if wanna zoom in

Step 1:

open photoshop and open the weapon you want edit and other weapon image that your going to use.

Step 5:

now comes the kinda the hard part. In this step go to the channel option and select the alphe channel. Ok now select the pencil tool and just go around the outer layer of your fire blade. After that choose the brush tool and colour
the buster blade. NOTE "DON"T COLOUR YOUR FIRE BLADE".
