No, it's actually just because we make much more profit then knights.
Deviltes, why they are so troublesome
I either lure them into a narrow passage one at a time and blitz them to death
alternatively if I trust my party I run in guns/hammer blazing
the best time to strike is to get them into the slow melee and run behind them
They seriously aren't that bad at all..... you just have to have the right gear. Winmillion and electron vortex (video link) make for an excellent solution.
Only the swords are reliable when it comes to beating devilites.
Dark Briar Barrage absolutely murders devilites. And I say that as someone who's pretty into swords. DBB is easier than FF/BTB.
I know this would kind of sound absurd, but I have to a question. Is it possible to play other games and take the fundamentals you acquire and mold them into learning Spiral knights or any other game of the same genre or one that has similar mechanics?
Why or why not?
Devilites are some of my favorite enemies to fight. This might be in part that I actually wear defensive armor so their hits won't throw me into a status panic.
But when it comes to fiends, and devilites especially, you need to think why they are hitting you. Why are devilites hitting you? Because of A) Server connection, B) proximity, C) Speed. Then you need to compare that to their weaknesses. Devilites are A) Weak to piercing, B) flinch with just about any hit, C) Can and will dodge into bullets.
When I know I'll be up against a few levels with fiends in it (Fiend stratum, Arena, or a dark city, with not many danger rooms at radiant depths) I typically only actually have one piercing weapon with me, and that weapon is a dark briar barrage. That bomb is too good against both beasts and fiends. I will also bring along my warmaster rocket hammer, magma driver, and DVS.
See, what you need to take down fiends is to interrupt them. Fast weapons will trump slow ones. With guns, you need to aim either at them or where you think they'll dodge depending on bullet speed. Any sort of driver is great for this because it will ricochet into the devilites.
Fiends are some of my favorite enemies to fight. They pose a challenge if you're not focused, and will be the end of you if you try to walk in without some sort of defense against them.
