you probably did but I need clickbait titles to feed my family of 13 children. Times are tough.
Name: Swiftstep Buckler
Grants the player msi med.
Its basically a reskin of the SSB but light blue and msi med without asi high.
Id say this is pretty op so make it a drop from any treasure box in strat 3+. say something like 0.002% or x10 that, or a percentage thatll make it worth min 1m and max 1.5m.
Its ofc 3* and cant be further upgraded. (Update) to balance it off, make it so you cant shield, its as if its a trinket but in the shield slot. Which also makes it being 3* odd, so maybe itll be 5*.
Please leave your thoughts and other suggestions.
An Idea You Probably Never Thought Of!

Interesting
I agree that the shield is very strong as a 3* shield with msi med, but I don't agree that the way to balance a weapon is by making it so rare that it won't affect anyone. I think a cool way of keeping it from being OP while giving the shield a unique quality is that it can't defend from attacks, it just pops up a bubble (maybe different color?) that doesn't block anything, but as a result it can't break, giving you the ability to always be able to shield bump. But since this is a really strong stat boost, it could be put behind an event like the Black Kat Cowl, making it rare and valuable but accessible.

Didnt think of the no shield
Didnt think of the no shield ability, that sounds even better, sounds more glass cannon like to me :p nice balancing, but I really like shielding since having taken long breaks made mr lose most of my skill

If you're gonna go the MSI route
-full metal sonic set
-make the shield blue
-make the MSI increase faster than what Maximum currently is

Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.
Meh, I got no opinion on this. I'm not a glass cannon.

Nor am I :P but I might use
Nor am I :P but I might use merc demo with, might be an awesome bomber shield when I think about it. if they ever intend to make a bomber update, id say add that with it, but if so, dont make it rare, something like the swiftstrike

I think boots are better...
Swiftbuckler's Shield design is to be lightweight on the arms to give the knights more zeal to striking. Not it's feet.

If Spiral Knights was focused on realism, wearing a black spiky shield wouldn't make your swords deal more damage, a cloth hood and robe that make you look like a cat wouldn't give you so much more damage and make you faster than if you were wearing a normal cloth hat and robe, wearing a purple jelly suit wouldn't make you more resistant to sleeping, wearing armor that fell wouldn't make you deal less damage vs. small rude people who throw office supplies, you wouldn't be able to wear a swimsuit over your clone wolf outfit, and a light shield on your left arm wouldn't allow you to swing your right arm faster.
Also, you can't get boots in this game.
I think this would be pretty cool, perhaps there could be other universal stat boosting shields. Would definitely add some more variety, and allow players to experience msi max, which would be cool.
