Good work, I like how simple it is, thanks for sharing

my solution was instanceating an arc mesh that has the shader and that spins in 1 direction, then I used the animation effects to change the rotation and position for each attack, my character attacks really fast so I was afraid that it might glitch while tracking something fast

thank you for the tutorial! I have one question: How can I add distortion like heat distortion to the weapon trail?
