Unity
Valkyrie Knights
Ive seen all of these guilds GMs, there all great players, some good at battles, persuassive, cunning and famous.
All of these guilds are experienced and most only recruit full 5 star geared knights.
You know not of Edwin and Finesse? Those two guilds are highly touted and respected. Personally, I think that list is solid in terms of skill and fame.
I agree with the list too. Never heard of Edwin, but I know Finesse is a very elite guild.
Creating lists like these is merely a way to express your opinion, so it's not reality, nor is it necessarily a joke. Some people may agree, others may not. Personally, I have no idea. I know quite a few players from both Echo of Silence and Guild, and with that I can say I'd put both of them in the top 10, as the OP did.
... But either way you forgot Derp Knights. ( :P )
True, I agree with Troololol. Finesse is just a small group of random nobodies that's undeserving of such high accolades, neither is any of its members interested in being ranked in an arbitrary table. Have fun duking it out to be the top 10 guilds, or even the bestest best guild, I wish you good luck :)
If this was the Top 10 sexiest guilds then yeah, In The Jelly would be up there alright, its cool...

Icycloud GM Coup De Grace
Well all these are the personal opinions. Most of the guilds mentioned here are great. Putting a poll would be a better idea though.
Aww thanks Icycloud for mentioning Impervious <3
To comment on the topic, it's really hard to say which are the top 10 guilds because there's really no real solid basis for measure. For example - Base it on gear? That does not equal to good skill because gear can be bought; on experience? Spiral Knights is not a ridiculously complicated game and the bosses are made to be beat that any competent player who go through them a few times can have it locked down, and therefore its only a matter of how much you play/being familiar with the levels/where mobs spawn/knowing when to shield or to run away/obtaining more desirable gear that each run should be easier and more efficient; best timed boss run? similar to the previous point with experience and will help if you know how to use your weapons well; activity? that would highly be dependent on your guild size, vision, purpose and strictness. Hmm..
On the whole, I find this 'top 10' business to be highly subjective and even with polls, it would still be bias because it's all a matter of individual interactions or experiences with one another which would vary depending on the circumstance. Once again, Spiral Knights is a pretty simple game and everyone have different reasons to play it ... but I truly believe there are many extremely skilled players scattered everywhere who choose to play solo or belong in guilds who just can't be bothered to socialize or publicize themselves simply because it's not their style. You can respect consistently skilled players in guilds when you see them, but unless one has interacted with all guilds and a great majority of their members with a solid basis of measure in mind, 'top guilds' are inevitably subjective and can be questioned.
Just my two cents! Although I would be interested to hear it if anyone have any recommendations for a way to measure :)

these are all guilds i dont know of and i have all 5 star stuff
@Icycloud
:)
Thanks for mentioning us in there. =^D
In my opinion, here is my Top Ten (Not including Knights and Day).
Note: Some guilds I havn't seen around much, so you may not be in there for that reason.
(Not counting KaD in there, here's my top 10.)
Coup De Grace
Unity
Guild/Knightmare
Valkyrie Knights
Reign of Chaos
The Risen
Impervious
The Jempire
Echo of Silence
Kage No Senshi
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
^^Totally not 11.^^
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is not in any order, just to confirm that. If your guild isn't in there, it may be because I've seen few (If any members of your guild) and/or I havn't had many runs with you guys.
Edit: I've decided to rework some guilds into there.
@BigfootM
"Region of Chaos"
Really?....
I know these guys called "Reign of Chaos" .... are they the same guild?
a new wiki page for top 10 guild!!! feels free to edit!
This list is accurate. If you ask the real veteran players like Bigfoot, Icycloud and some others arround since beta or April they will agree. Edwin has one of the richest knight ingame and has a lot of veteran knights but they only recruit people who speak there native language and so I suggest Ptt Formasa instead.
And Finese is a guild of knights bound by friendship and all of them are good and I say there currently the strongest guild in LD.
I think you guys have got this all wrong. I don't even know any of these guilds. I reckon the best guilds are as follows:
1. One Knight Stand
2. Big Black Guildo
3. Elephant Balls Posse
4. Smelly Panties
5. Big Juicy Melons
6. Everyonehatesfallout
7. Echo of Sausage
I only list 5 because no other guilds come even close so they shouldn't be in the same list.
Edit: Some new guilds have made the cut! Check them out today!
@Strudul
Nope, didn't forget. I thought they disbanned.
@Whitelancer
I can easily agree that Edwin has some of the richest players, and Finese DOES have amazing LD players. I did that list when I was tired, I may change it later.
Okay I'm be honest there only one top guild in this game which can OWN all these guilds we mention with one hit....*drum roll*
Three Ring they have Crowbars so yes......they can just make us turn into snipes or even a bush....
I'm going to have to agree with Njthug 1,000%:
:)
These guilds should be the 10 best guilds in the game
Knightmare
Impervious
Coup De Grace
Hunter X Hunter
Kage No Senshi
Knights and Day
The Jempire
Echo of Silence
Valkyrie Knights
Tier Zero
All of these guilds deserve to be the top 10 because they are tier 3,5 star and are know for being very active.
By,Konurb GM of Jelly Hunters
I have to agree with milkman on this one.
1. One Knight Stand
2. Big Black Guildo
3. Elephant Balls Posse
4. Smelly Panties
5. Big Juicy Melons
although I would like Big Juicy Melons number three and Smelly Panties as four since Elephant Balls Posse has lost their balls and left with just the posse.
@Konurb
Thanks. :)
@Dancijen/Milkman
You got a point... ;)
@Njthug
Oyeah. <3 Getting killed er... *coughs* getting to touch their marvelous crowbar.
Well I'm just glad to see Kage no senshi mentioned lol Thanks
personal opinions here, i wont include my own guild in my Top ten.
Coup De grace
The Risen
Reign of Chaos
Knightmare
Unity
Tier Zero
Immortals ( I like the name lol)
Valkyrie Knights
Gunslinger priests
Guild
I wouldn't know how active they really are but i see a few players everyday from each. For one reason or another those are the guilds i like, again excluding mine.
My opinion:
1. Coup De grace
2. Timeless
3. Unity
4. Reign of Chaos
5. Jelly Tribe
6. Valkyrie Knights
7. Edwin
8. Finese
9. The Jempire
10. Knightmare/Guild [Equal with skill, but critisize each other a lot]
I kinda enjoy those lists, although don't agree on most of them but they sum it up.
Nj and EoS deserve their place on those lists and I can't disagree that Guild plays pretty well.
Never saw much of Edwin and Finese though but witnessed most of the others in Lockdown.
Im sad that Timeless isnt on here more...although I guess we only had a small sect of elites. But now we are Cloud 9! Most of the guilds listed have disappointed me majorly with the exception of finesse and jempire. and thats only in LD i have no idea how they are in the clockworks. as i recall we beat jempire and finesse both once each then promptly stopped doing guild LD :)
This thread is like a top 10 most well known guilds. there quite a few secret amazing guilds out there that want to remain hidden so I will oblige them ;)
Finesse has only lost two Lockdown games total due to a player disconnecting from both matches (5 v 6) and Timeless was not one of those two guilds that won. We keep track of our records. [:
However, I do agree with you that this thread is meant for the top most well-known guilds.
Let's do this!
Knightmare
Guild
Echo of Silence
Jempire
Coupe de Grace
Reign of Chaos
Edwin
Finesse
Active/Unity
Honorable Mentions:
Knights and Day
Valk Knights
sorry anly but we beat you :) i distinctly remember it.
although you beat us like 8 times.
i kinda wanna do this now, based on the guilds with the best players, not those with the best overall group:
cloud 9
finesse
jempire
grundel warriors
honorable mentions:
guild
RoC
...hard to think of anyone else outstanding besides 4 secret guilds that dont want their names mentioned.
That's a bit weird. We also distinctly remember our unbeaten run ever since we started GvG before losing twice on the same day because Stompt had connection issues. After that incident, we're back on a winning track. It's not that we would be embarrassed to admit defeat, but like Anly said, we do keep track of our records in GvG. Also, looking at our records, we only had three matches against Timeless. You might have confused yourself with random Lockdown matches or Finesse with another guild.
I would like to inquire if you have a screenshot to back your claims though, thanks. :)
lol ive been asking around and everyone remembers it. not everyone keeps perfect records. :)
we also remember playing you far more than 3 times.
I've also been asking around and nobody remembers it. Although we do make an effort to screenshot every GvG we've done, there's nothing we can do to disprove a loss; however, it's as simple as posting a screenshot for you to prove a win. Until then it's just your word against ours.
We aren't the type of guild who would boast about records, but we don't appreciate false claims which is why we'd speak out about it. Please understand we wouldn't be offended if your guild did beat us, we'd appreciate more challenges if anything.
Anyways, we're more than happy to schedule a match or show you the screenshots we have on file vs. Timeless if you'd like, just let us know!
im not trying to make a false claim, im just saying it definitely happened as per the memory of 4 of the guildies that were on the team (other two quit). i could understand you not remembering a loss, i dont remember most of ours. but the sheer fact that you think you only played us 3 times means your records are off.
and im not in timeless anymore i started a new guild, cloud 9. i would get my guild to play you, but first off, our "perfect" team, as it were, is never all going to be all online at once, peoples schedules changed, and second, lockdown is something i dont support anymore due to defenders being OP, and what in my opinion are increasingly bad differences in lag between the two teams. I dont feel like worrying about the other team using all dual heart pendants and ce resing constantly either.
and i dont have a screenshot, im sorry, so this is just my and several others' word, but i like my word to be reliable enough that i dont need proof.
anyways i think this discussion is over, because we both think we know what happened and we both have no proof lol so im going to withdraw any further comment.
Too bad cause everyone in Finesse is a striker except Hadn maybe.
And LOL Guardians OP? Try using it agaisnt Finesse and see if you still think its OP. LD is balanced.
No messiah ur information is incorrect. I do believe when i joined Finesse we had a 70-75 win streak and my connection problems made that go away.
We didnt play u once when i joined Finesse so u couldnt have beaten us.
who are the two teams that finesse did lose to?(being down 1 person of course)
In the name of TDG, i claim us 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944.....
THE END(we win :D )
@ blacklancerz
Grundel warriors/echo of silence
i disconnected for about 30 seconds and it kicked me :( so i would know.
"i could understand you not remembering a loss"
That statement really irks me because you are implying that we lose enough to not remember how many times we lost. We have only lost twice, so yes, we would definitely remember a loss. We are a small enough guild to keep track of every match and we make sure to screenshot them all. Just because you generalize the fact that "not everyone keeps perfect records" doesn't mean that there aren't perfect records out there. To make a claim that your memory and the words of others should be reliable enough is just arrogant and silly.
I'm only this riled up because I love my guild to death and am very proud to be part of it. It isn't below us to admit defeat when it happens, and when it does, we will proudly give props to the guild responsible.
I'll have to side with Anly here. If you've ever been in a guild that has had a 30+ game perfect win rate, taking any challengers, and then you suddenly lose a game, regardless of circumstances, it's going to be what everyone in the guild talks about for the next 1-3 days. I've seen a golfing guild that suddenly lost their perfect 69-win streak when 2 members disconnected, and they made a thread on the forums about it.
That being said... I can only see 3 ways for people to compare with each other. There's Lockdown, the forums, and bashing others in Haven. Oh, and the IRC. As I only sometimes read the forums and IRC, I have no idea about what these famous guilds are up to. From what I've seen, I'm the best bomber around, but that's only because I will never randomly get into a party with Fallout, Njthug, and the people who have really practiced their skills.
That doesn't mean the list is worthless. It's just the best info we can get.
Being from Eos, and having a pretty good pvp team I have to admit this:
Finese in my own personal view is one of the best guilds in Pvp. Eos has played most of the guilds who are pretty active and Pvp, and Finese is easily a guild that can kick our ass in lockdown if we don't even play at all seriously. I have to admit they do a pretty good job with there bombers and gun mix. They make sure our key strikers can't even get close to them, and is easily one of the only guilds that can isolate Eos fully. With our A team which I swear we never even did one round with since well...we don't have everyone on at similar times I am sure we might hold a challenge, but they are pretty good. This is my own personal view on Finese in pvp.
LOL. joke list.. where is the risen, mondgarde, in the jelly, one piece, dai gurren? who the hell is edwin and finese anyway?
