@Tdlob
I tried to look you up in Deviantart. It looks like you have a lot of (Grinchlin) stalkers!
I can't render anything, and it looks like the only ones that could will blow this competition to smithereens, but I won't be giving up! Not yet!
Here is a full set of Sentinel armory to accompany the Chasovoy. If Ironmight joins Sudaruska, and Volcanic pairs with its polar opposite, the Triglav, then the Sentinel must join with the Chasovoy to protect from coming darkness!
The Sentinel Plate Armor and Sentinel Plate Shield protect from Shadow, Normal, Poison, and Curse. They weigh you down like the other sets, but give more than enough protection from evils in the shadows.

Here is Tdlob wielding a construction line Troika. It is a Troika idea I could not place into any position unless it was a reskin of the Sudaruska- and a pitiful one at that! I challenge anyone to take this construction idea and make it unique! Don't forget to mention me though! xD
And Tdlob says hello!

Troika swords are epic
I am a huge fan of Triglav btw.
I think slow swords with epic normal damage is just unheard of. I mean, it can do more damage than warmaster if a monster has NO normal defense at all.
BTW, its me Entyre

The Overkill Line. Pictures coming soon.
3*Oboyudoostryy
An extremely powerful and stylish blade which has been forbidden because of its overwhelming power.
OOC:'Oboyudoostryy' basically means two-edged. I got this idea when I started to develop interest in double-edged swords. Then I thought: Extremely powerful sword + Extremely powerful sword = Overkill. That's also how I came up with the 'Overkill' Line. As the Double-Edged sword increases in stars, it will look more and more like a double-edged sword, and not a hammer like thing.
Crafting materials:
Oboyudoostryy Recipe-Only available from Basil in Clockworks Terminals.
Forbidden Fruit x1
Scrap Metal x10
Bronze Bolt x4
Dark Shard x3
Brimstone x4
Alchemy Cost:200 energy + 1000 cr.
4*Mificheskiy kraya
A blade purely made for overkill, this forbidden blade is highly meant for those certain knights who want to completely annihilate their foes in seconds and look good while doing it.
OOC:'Mificheskiy kraya' means 'mythical edge'. Remember that this line is a two-edged Troika line.
Crafting materials:
Mificheskiy kraya Recipe-Only available from Basil in Clockworks Terminals.
Forbidden Fruit x3
Scrap Metal x15
Bronze Bolt x6
Dark Shard x6
Brimstone x5
Force Dynamo x1
Alchemy Cost:400 energy + 2500 cr.
5*Zapretnyy kraya
A blade forged from both the heavens and the underworld, this blade carries all the responsibility overkill has to carry.
OOC: 'Zapretnny kraya' means forbidden edge.
Crafting materials:
Forbidden Fruit x7
Sun Silver x12
Shadow Steel x12
Warp Dust x5
Celestial Ore x12
Force Dynamo x3
Static Clinger x4
Swordstone x10
Unstable Core x1

Entry: Nightwhisper Line
Basic description and statistics included in image:
http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x445/Teridax55/Nightwhisper_zps10ce6...
Charge Attack: Upon charge, a large demon rises up from the ground (shown in image) and hovers behind the Knight. In the 4* and 5* versions the wispy body/ribcage are seen encircling the knight. This causes a shockwave to be emitted in a radius of 3-5 squares (depending on tier) that has a 20% chance of dealing Sleep damage to the Monsters and to the Wielder.
Crafting Details:
Nightwhisper:
10 Dark Shard
3 Nightshade
2 Swordstone
1 Troika
Wishbreaker:
15 Dark Shard
4 Nightshade
3 Swordstone
2 Blighted Bone
1 Nightwhisper (Lvl 5)
Dreamstealer:
20 Dark Shard
5 Nightshade
3 Swordstone
2 Blighted Bone
1 Reaper Rib
1 Wishbreaker (Lvl 10)
(A/N: Sorry for the poor quality. I had to sketch this and color it tabletless in PS and I barely got it in for ACAD season. Hope you enjoy regardless)
(A/N2: I wish I had time to color the charge sequence I had, and I seem to have lost the sketch. I'll put it up colorless if I can find it before the date closes)
(A/N3: In retrospect this would have been a good Curse line as well but that's overdone)

...
I am not done yet! I created a new unique weapon that could come from the Troika series, although that may be to untraditional to be continuing in the Troika line. However, it does bear its name!
Medium: Pencil, sharpie, and Scanner
Troika Nickname: The Gear Line
Date of Completion: 1/24/13
3*: Peredacha
Normal Damage
Lvl5: CTR Low Lvl10: CTR Med
Description:
A weapon of unknown source. It is believed to have derived form Gremlin hands, but the transformation of this great weapon is too mystic to have derived from these creatures.
Attack:
NORMAL MODE: Deals two basic swings.
GEAR MODE: Makes one lunge to the enemy, dealing knockback to those who touch it.
Charge: [from basic] It transforms the weapon, blasting nearby enemies with Fire. [from Gear mode] It transforms the weapon, shooting a Gear and causing Fire as well as an explosion to those who it hits.
Recipe:
10 Light Shards
3 Brimstone
5 Scrap Metal
1 Driftwood
4*: Gorelka
Normal Damage
Lvl5: CTR Med Lvl10: CTR High
Description: A powerful weapon that acts as a generator of heat on its very own. It's always hot and very heavy, making it useful for blacksmiths. However, no one really knows what it should do.
Charge: [from basic] It transforms the weapon, blasting nearby enemies with harsh Fire as well as lunging forward. [from Gear mode] It transforms the weapon, blasting nearby foes away and launches a quick gear that explodes on contact.
Attack:
NORMAL MODE: Deals two basic swings.
GEAR MODE: Makes one lunge to the enemy, dealing knockback to those who touch it.
Recipe:
15 Light Shards
4 Heavy Gear
4 Brimstone
5 Rocket Sprockets
1 Driftwood
5*: D'Vigatel
Normal Damage
Lvl 5: CTR Med Lvl 10: CTR High
Description: A legendary weapon unknown for its uses, but it conducts great heat form its core enough to power old Crimson flagships. It is unknown whether it originated form Gremlin hands, but it is better to not let it get in their grasp.
Charge: [from basic] It unleashes a firestorm around the user, engulfing enemies close by in Fire. [from Gear mode] The weapon explodes as it transforms, and unleashes a burning Gear forward, exploding and causing Fire to those it hits and explodes upon.
Attack:
NORMAL MODE: Deals two basic swings.
GEAR MODE: Makes one lunge to the enemy, dealing knockback to those who touch it. It may cause light Fire.
Recipe:
20 Light Shards
10 Rocket Sprockets
5 Brimstone
5 Ironwood
1 Heavy Gear
1 Flame Soul
The weapon transforms upon charge attack being unleashed. This Gear, then Burner, then Engine will make a menace in Lockdown in its Gear form, while playing safe in Normal mode. Transforming from Gear mode, it unleashes an explosive gear that explodes like the Polaris and causes fire to those it hits. The idea is based off of Russia's industrialization.
The Gear family drawings are found here.

Ghostmane Line
Knight Name: Pipochee
Date of completion: 1/26/2013
Sketched on paper. Colored in drawing/image editing program, FireAlpaca.
My Troika line is inspired by ghostmane stalkers, so it's the Ghostmane line.
The sketch for the swords and charge attack is here: http://i.imgur.com/4AORftT.jpg
All the swords, descriptions, and charge attack (featuring Tdlob) are shown here: http://i.imgur.com/XY5dIjZ.jpg
The spiral spy rendering of the charge attack (featuring Tdlob) is shown here: http://i.imgur.com/uSbHuBf.png
The recipes with all the crafting requirements for the three swords are here: http://i.imgur.com/Upg8lKL.png
In case it is hard to read the descriptions in the first link:
3*: Reconnada - A Troika upgraded through the use of stolen Gremlin technology.Upon the second swing, there is a slight chance that the target is marked for death.
4*: Saw Stalker - Outfitted with the teeth of a saw blade, this sword is sure to aid you in dicey situations. There is a fair chance that the target will be marked for death.
5*: Ghostmania - Since there are some who aren't afraid of a massive sword crashing down on their heads, this sword may be charged to release a ghostmane stalker that will throw saw blades in all directions. There is a strong chance that the target will be marked for death.
Good luck to everyone!

Knight Name:
Knight Name: Kagisnad
Describe how your image was created (the medium): Digital.
The name/description of the completed Troika line: Below.
URL for finished concept (including your knight name and date of completion in the image): Below.
Name of the knight who referred you (if any): Nimdalo
This weapon doesn't have a 3* and 4* version because of its lore- it was made by holy creatures, who only needed the most powerful weapon, thus they stole a Khorovod and upgraded it. It would be against the lore to have a 3*, and 4*.
Stats:
Elemental Damage [Full Bar when Level 10, comparable with the damage of a Combuster]
Slow Speed
Abilities:
Damage bonus vs. Undead: Medium
Good chance of causing Strong Poison.
Description:
A Khorovod said to be stolen and modified by angels themselves who infused it with their own power to banish the undead. However, it was discarded and offered to men after a certain unholy creature had stolen it, and after making radical modifications himself, he had dipped it in the most toxic lake he could find, granting it an immensely poisonous nature, the vivid green liquid still dripping off its edge being proof of this. This act was deemed degrading for the saint weapon, however it kept the power the holy creatures had blessed it with, despite the fiend's attempts at destroying it.
How it works:
Idle: The sword is held like a normal Troika, with poison dripping off its edge.
First and Second swing: Works like a regular Troika. It should be noted that poison drips off the blade's edge excessively when swinging, and the second swing has a good chance of causing strong Poison.
Charge attack:
The knight pulls back a step, standing straight upwards, then does a quick spin with the sword close to his body [it causes no damage, however it has a chance of causing poison to the user] after which the knight uses the built up momentum to lean back and do a very powerful spinning swing, pushing back all enemies, inflicting them with strong poison and spreading poison puddles [like oil puddles] around the knight. This attack, if the user did not get poisoned, will one-hit most mobs with a damage ten times bigger than the damage the second swing would inflict on that certain mob. [A knight can completely get rid of the chance of being poisoned by having two Maximum Poison pieces of armor, which already have Poison resistance, such as a Max Poison Snarbolax Coat and Cap]. The weapon takes 4 seconds to charge, without any CTR.
Crafting:
1 Level 10 Khorovod
10 Light Shard
10 Dark Shard
5 Driftwood
4 Forbidden Fruit
3 Miracloth
2 Mug of Misery
1 Plague Essence
800 energy - 5.000 crowns - 25.000 crowns for the Recipe, sold only by Izola.
The rights to this design and picture belong to Three Rings, by my, the artist's, written words.

Beep Boop, Son. Beep Boop.
Hey~o!
So I've decided to rear my ugly head around for this little shindig. I am a Troika-lover after all.
So! Here's my entries.
Knight name: Zopyros
Date of completion: Sunday, January 27th, 2013
http://pixelhat.tumblr.com/post/41597636265/troika-designs-and-re-design...
Aside from making two new designs, I decided to re-design the original two lines as well. Why? Well, two things really bugged me about the Troika line.
1. "Troika" can be translated as "triumvirate" or "three" in some languages. So it really bugged me that there weren't three lines overall.
2. The Troika is supposed to be the Guardian's weapon of choice. Aside from it's size and slow speed, it never really gave that feeling of protection and power the Guardians are supposed to represent (to me at least...). Thus the gauntlet addition. If I could have my way, having the Troika equipped would boost shield health and defense against a certain status or even element. But this isn't the Suggestions forums, so I'll stop there.
The main thing I was aiming for was for the line to actually look like it progressed and evolved. How it is now is just the rusty Troika, followed by two shiny swords, then the 5* shattered sword. With the redesign, the sword starts as the rusty Troika, gets cleaned up, shatters, and forms an energy blade.
Though I guess if people don't like what I did, the energy sword variations could be made as an imaginary 6* design...
Since two of my lines are simply remade from the old ones, I'll only add descriptions for the new ones.
First off is the volcanic Olympus Mons line.
3* Milos
A simple sword great for crushing and searing your foes.
4* Vesuvius
A fiery great-sword perfect for unleashing the might of a volcano straight to the enemies.
5* Olympus Mons
The full force of a volcanic eruption can be felt with each swing of this mighty blade. Good thing you're not on the receiving end of it.
----------
And now for the infected swarm blade, Malfeasance...
3* Venal
Something feels wrong with this sword now... There's something... inside it...
4* Septicaemia

Here comes Happy!
Knight Name: Happyapathy
Date of Submission: January 27, 2013
Got my submission together and I must say it is quite unique in terms of the visual concept. The shape of the Troika actually made me think of a weapon pretty much on the opposite side of the world then where its Slavic namesake comes from. Regrettably I didn't have time to create any charge attack animations to go with them, though I will try to if I have the time.
I called this the Sacrificial Line due to the fact that using the charge attack on any these results in a small amount of damage been dealt to the wielder as a sort of 'payment' of usage:
3* Macuahuitl
Description:
A weapon lined with sharp jagged rocks once wielded by warriors from a forgotten empire.
Characteristics:
- Deals Normal Damage (6.5 bars when fully heated)
- Fair chance of causing moderate poison
- Charge attack deals greater damage compared to other 3* Troikas, but causes slight damage (1 bars) to wielder
About this weapon:
A 'Macuahuitl' is an Aztec weapon which is essentially a club with sharp chunks of obsidian stone embedded in it, somehow the shape of the Troika made this come to mind when I was thinking of what I could make it into that was unique but a plausible line of development for the Troika.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
4* Huitzilopochtli
Description:
It whispers demands of blood for gods from a time long past.
Characteristics:
- Deals Normal Damage (10 bars when fully heated)
- Good chance of causing moderate poison
- Charge attack deals greater damage compared to other 4* Troikas, but causes slight damage (2 bars) to wielder
About this weapon:
"Huitzilopochtli" was the Aztec god of war, sun, human sacrifice, and the patron of their capital city of Tenochtitlan. To be honest I just needed a name for this weapon and chose that particular deity because it sounded okay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
From here I came up with 3 different 5* variants that this could be made into.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5* Tezcatlipoca
Description:
For a small sacrifice this blade will bring the down the fiery anguish of a vanquished people down upon your foes
Characteristics:
- Deals Elemental Damage (10 bars when fully heated)
- Good chance of causing strong fire
- Good chance of causing minor stun
- Charge attack deals greater damage compared to other 5* Troikas from other lines, but causes slight damage (2.5 bars) to wielder
About this weapon:
"Tezcatlipoca", according to Wikipedia, was an "omnipotent universal power" in mesoamerican culture, I read that he became the sun at one point but the whole Aztec mythology was a bit confusing so I could be wrong about that. Anyways the 'sun' idea is where having this weapon cause fire came from.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5* Quetzalcoatl
Description:
Wielding this blade often heralds the end for many of your foes
Characteristics:
- Deals Shadow Damage (10 bars when fully heated)
- Good chance of causing moderate fire
- Good chance of causing moderate poison
- Charge attack deals greater damage compared to other 5* Troikas from other lines, but causes slight damage (2.5 bars) to wielder
About this weapon:
Probably the most well known of Aztec deities due to the fact they totally messed up mistaking someone else for him, "Quetzalcoatl" was the feathered-serpent god whose appearance was suppose to herald the end of times. The combined fire+poison charge attack is suppose to bring back unpleasant memories of the Compound 42 mission due to the effect it has of preventing healing + compounding the damage caused by fire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5* Montezuma's Revenge
Description:
A weapon so terrifying it will make your foes bowels quake with fear!
Characteristics:
- Deals Normal Damage (10 bars when fully heated)
- Good chance of causing SUPER CRAZY POISON!!! (30 second status infliction)
- Charge attack deals greater damage compared to other 5* Troikas from other lines, but causes slight damage (2.5 bars) to wielder
About this weapon:
Who knows what Montezuma's Revenge is? If not look it up. When I thought of this I just knew I had to put it in cause the idea just got funnier the more I thought of it, more of as a joke then an actual submission I kept thinking up all sorts of ways to describe the idea of a weapon that would inflict sudden incontinence upon your foes, like how a few swings of this in LD will cause the opposing team to flee for the locker room XD... though once you think about it inflicting a long lasting poison effect in LD would be quite effective as it would prevent a player from been able to heal and effectively knock them out for quite sometime regardless of if they get killed or not.

"5* Tezcatlipoca"
You have no idea how happy (this isn't supposed to be punny) that makes me ^_^
^ Totally random not even related to the competition post >.> >.< <.<
Cause this :http://souleater.wikia.com/wiki/Tezca_Tlipoca:
Yeah, okay I told you it would be random.
Also, I'm kinda lazy to get working seriously on this 5* charge attack thing...heh. I should probably start colouring it and all.
I hope I actually finish it before the competition ends ^_^"

Volcanic Spirit Line
Knight: Korhl
Medium:Digital Painting
Here is my contest submission for the Troika contest. It is a volcanic spirit themed line. I know the whole lava thing isn't exactly the most original idea but this is my take on it. All the information and stats for the swords are on the images. Completed today (1/29/13). Hope you guys enjoy.

Dawn of The Second Day
A couple sidenotes:
Entry list updated.
@Papaya: I believe this song qualifies, right?
@Zeroblast: A little late to the party, but here are the answers to your questions.
- Participants will receive their rewards either on the day of Troikamas at the formal awards ceremony, or mailed to them after the festivites if they are not present. Participation prizes will be mailed the following day on the 4th.
- Also sent at the end of the competition, upon the 4th. They have to mark you as their refferal though.
- No, I think you have the concept contest and qualifying for Troikamas drawing prizes confused.
On a another sidenote, seeing a "LoZ - Majora's Mask" themed Troika line would be awesome.

Creative Trokia
Name: CoolSpiderman
The Trokia Vanaduke line
3* : Silent Dagger: forged by gremlins as a mean of protection before the thawk hammer.
CTR low
4*: venomous kalab: used by knights who like to see their enemies weakened by poison only to be able to deliver the finishing deathly blow
(good chance of causing moderate poison)
CTR medium
5*: divine corin: this fine 2-strike sword is a strong enemy of lord vanaduake. As noticed by some knights, this blade damage increased at depth 28 because it was forged by a very small part of the core. This sword can also draw the power of shadow and make its enemy suffer.
(good chance of causing strong poison) and ( high damage bonus at depth 28).
CTR medium
Although thse swords seem to be small, their heavy mtal limit thier ability to move quickly limiting them to a 2 strike combo.
Without furhter of due, here they are:

i have worked very hard on this hoping to use the rward money to get the triglav
i was referred to this post by knight named: "Jubjubblast"

Hi although it is the same
Hi although it is the same knight name as the last post, i am the other knight in the account. i am coolspiderman's brother
My knight name: vanadukehimself
my trokia line is called: the fantom line
3*: stinger: although small, this sword was crafted using higher level materials. It has a very high density giving its holder the ability of 2-strike combo.
here it is:
http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s673/cybord2/scan0004_zps2aaa0987.jpg
4*:fantom killer: high in density like its previous version, this sword limits its wielder in speed and number of strikes. This sword is highly recommended for those knights who explore the wonders of “hunted passage” (normal damage) and (damage bonus against undead: low)
here it is:
http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s673/cybord2/scan0005_zps63662450.jpg
5*: death blade: only knights that are worthy may wield this slow moving, but effective sword. It requires a knight with strength to grip its burned end. This sword as some knights have observed, it as a mind of its own. (Damage bonus against undead: med) and (good chance of causing moderate fire).
here it is:
http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s673/cybord2/scan0006_zps988309ea.jpg
well, i will see u guys at the convention with my brother.
just remember, my knight name is "vanadukehimself" not appears on the left of the page

Entrysaurus
Pballs (1/30/13)
Like Clockwork 6*
http://pball11.deviantart.com/#/d5tbklc
The sword was created in the core itself. The leader of the core had his personal blacksmith create it with the most devious materials possible. This blacksmith (Punch) knew its power and vowed to never allow anyone to wield it. He tried to destroy it, but the leader was there to stop him and took the sword. Punch ran to the only place he knew he could find someone able to defeat the leader (haven). He has since made a replica of the sword and searches haven for the one knight worthy to wield its awesome power and defeat the core's leader.
Weapon Stats and Preview:
http://tinypic.com/r/1o80pc/6
(in case you can't read the description on here it says: "Forged within the depths of the core, this sword can only be wielded by the best of warriors. Its unique nature makes it the most deadly in existence and this is the only known copy. If a warrior with this sword approaches, you better hope they are a friend or you will not be warm much longer.")
Recipe:
Green Shard x 40
Red Shard x 40
Brimstone x 20
Driftwood x 16
Redwood x 12
Heavy Gear x 8
Perfect Snowball x 4
Volcanic Iron x 2
Everfrost x 2
Gremlonium x 1
Triglav lvl 10
Sudaruska lvl 10
Description:
Attack: Two normal swings that deal heavy elemental and normal damage. It retains the same speed as the other Troikas and second swing HAS CHANCE TO STUN. oops caps ;)
If Opponent is Out of Range of Attack: In the event that your opponent is out of range of your first swing. The sword will stop mid-swing and shoot out up to six parts. The end of the sword will regenerate quickly after firing has been completed. Gun is unable to stun.
Charge: The sword turns into a bomb when charged. When dropped this bomb has a fuse the size of a 5* haze bomb and is also its range. After ignition, a yellow shockwave is sent 360 degrees around the bomb. This wave can damage opponents lightly up to three times and has a good chance to stun. The wave also knocks back the opponent to the edge to its range.
COMBO TIME!!! Charge sword, opponent nears, drop bomb, stun and knock back, shoot 6 times with gun while walking forward, then deal the nasty double hit and anything in the game will be dead by then (except bosses). My intention was to animate a video of this, but somewhat ran out of time due to my parents drive to film every event they go to then render them (approx. 4 hours each). Which adds up to no time on the computer with anything art related.
Great entries people! Hope to see you all at the event on the 3rd!

Entry!
I cannot draw very well so there's descriptions and stuff but yeah.... I made a fuller document for descriptions (see below.) Focused more on material requirements and descriptions to counter my lack of being able to draw them. YES this means I might be passed over but please read the documents to see the work I put into them!
Further descriptions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UF2KTDe73CFsSVkqZIcnkXO6eeGfzigUwk9o...
Craft tables: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjJmQI07trmvdG1pZkVjczlYYWl...
It Has Teeth and Thunder and Lightning!
It Has Teeth is a dark beast evolution line, following the path of demonization and death. The first evolution is a pallet shift, the second becomes darker and starts to grow teeth, and the final evolution is two-fold. Normally, Sirius: Lots of teeth and a redder pallet. Certain periods of time it is Lusion: fewer sharper teeth arranged to make the former Troika look more akin to a reaper's scythe.
Thunder and Lightning ascends through the clouds and brings the electricity with it! Visually, it doesn't change much from the normal Troika evolution but instead of becoming split at the 5th star item, electricity surrounds it and there is no imperfection, vines, cracks in the blade. As the names for these evolutions imply, there is a godly presence about them.
Hope you like them!
