Hi.
I'm a new player of Spiral Knights.
I'd like to ask your opinions about a doubt i have.
At the moment i have a Solid Cobalt Armor and a Solid Cobalt Helm. At the moment i'm covered from normal and piercing damage, but not elemental and shadow.
Is a a good idea changing the helm with a divine veil? In this way i'll be covered in all 4 types of damage.
Anyway i don't undertand a thing... the value of the damage protection is the sum of the value of the armor and helmet or is it only the higher value of the two?
For example.
Normal def armor 4 - normal def helm 3
My normal def is 7 or 4?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.. :p
It's the sum of all your armor/trinkets, they stack, it's not one or the other.
Also, the cobalt line isn't very good in my opinion.
If you know what you want to be doing in game (swords, bombs, guns) then you should pick the appropriate gear. The cobalt line is for people who don't know what to do specifically and that makes the armor lack in every area since it isn't specific to one. And even if you want to mix all 3 there are still better armors.
I've only ever used blades though, so I've got full Vog/Thorn shield.
