I am looking to improve my bombing skills, I am a maxed tier bomber and I know quite a bit about bombing already.

I am looking for bombing tips in ways to improve my bombing skills, I am already good at lock down (PVP) and I have just about every bomb in the game, there is very few bombs that I don't already have.

Some say that I am one of the most elite bombers in the game. - At least some of my friends say I am one of the best bombers but I am not bragging about how good I am at it.

I am honestly just looking to improve on what I already know and to learn new things about bombing therefore I am looking for more good tips on how to improve it overall - To reach out to others bombers and to discuss bombing as a whole together.

So this is my reach out to all of the bombers on Spiral Knights and I hope that you guys will reach out as well and give as many tips as I would in return and the hope of building more friendships together as we help each other out.

Thanks for reading my thread, and taking time out of your day. ^,..,^

Here's what I've learned about bombs so far

-It is usually better to stack damage bombs like DR and DBB on top of each other.

-shiver is very annoying when spammed as it creates walls everywhere, but if you just use it in a corner, you can essentially take a group of monsters out of play.

-Stagger Storm is very handy, it's basically slow motion mode for the rest of your party, works pretty well solo too. Using heavy swords and guns with knockback males it easy to avoid attacks.

I'm no expert and this is probably common knowledge, but hope I can help.

...

To bomb well you have to know your enemy, this is of utmost importance. Find their movement and attack patter and adapt to dodge them.

Try fighting with just Calibur sword charges, this is somewhat similar to bombing due to the AOE of the charge and the knockback. If things get too tough you can always go back to hack and slash.

I'm over all a good bomber

I'm over all a good bomber and i have quite a bit of knowledge on bomb placement and when to spam a bomb and when not to. A few of my favorite bombs to use is the DBB and the DR i shift between Vapor Bombs depending on the lvl. Nitronome is a good bomb and one of my favorite bombs as well but when used its vary important on bomb placement and knowing your team. And knowing the enemy is also vary important. and for some bombers gun puppies may be a hard enemy to kill if they are a pure bomber, but I find using a DR 2 times on them kills it off quite quick.

Bombing Guide?

Have you read the Bombing Guide on the wiki? I don't mean to be insulting, but it contains a huge amount of information compared to this thread, and it's just sitting there, waiting for people to read it. Enjoy.

Sir-Pandabear

Do you already know about Maeko-bombing?

Additionally, you may already know that attack speed does affect the planting speed of bombs. In PvE, this means you can use Swifstrike Buckler even when just bombing. In PvP, the only way to get Bomb ASI is with Fallen, but that means giving up potential MSI you can get from your gear otherwise, and that's probably not worth it.

Basically, don't die.

Don't get hit and put down lots of bombs.

The best advice there is out there.
