I wanted to suggest a set designed for hardcore gamers.

The set will have up to 200 heat levels (do not flame please read on). The set will start with 0 stats at level 1, shield will have -100% on all status effects ie full red bar. When it hits 200 heat level it will be "as strong as the starting gear on heat10". While wearing this gear at level 50/100/150/200 you unlock 4 passives related to crows and mist energy.
PS: You need to have on full gear to get the passives to work.

50: You gain "1 crown" for a killing blow. If you take any damage you will be unable to gain any "crown proc" from this floor. But normal crown can still drop on the floor.
100: Your shield no longer has -100% all status effects instead its 0% neutral on all status effects.
150: Dying with this gear no longer costs Double Mist Energy to revive.
200: You gain "1 mist energy" for a killing blow. If you take any damage you will be unable to gain any "mist energy proc" from this floor.

Now I know this will seem absurd but it will really be hard to play with this gear in any deep levels. Imagine going around with 0star gear into deeper levels. Any damage will really mess your passives you worked hard for. Even traps.

While I'm heavily against

While I'm heavily against getting free energy just for killing an enemy (think of the arena looping! The Mini-Jelly spawner abusing!), and even more heavily against the no-damage idea (there are some cases where you HAVE to take damage), we DO need high end gear. IE, 6* gear that requires a huge amount of materials/more than one item (IE Voltedge + Glacius = Flash Freeze or summat).

Overpowered.

This would be OP, purely because it gains you mist energy and extra crowns for killing stuff, while letting you rev all the time. Playing well is not hard, and playing in T1 would be purely profit. Free levels, as you'd get mist from killing >10 enemys, and with a 5* weapon, you'd easily be able to not die.

This would be better as a 24 hour temporary buff from Boost, like the heat amp, but more expensive... use it, and you'd easily be able to make back enough energy to craft>sell to get the energy back, if you were skilled.

Not reallyoverpowered

Starter gear includes a 0star weapon and a 0star gun. Edit: Not only will it go slow killing. You wont get the benefits if you take 1 dmg.

Would look like this

0star sword
0star shield
0star gun
0star armor
0star helm

0star trinket (no effects)
0star trinket (no effect)

cannot be UV'ed

your only against something

your only against something cause its new, as many people are afraid of changes. It wont be efficient in no way. Kill slow, die fast. Bonus lost on hit. It just adds a new possible twist to the game. Heck its even slower than those people that has 4 accounts with one time-only charged prenium on 3 accounts.

It is like a hard-mode way you can see how far you can go with beginner suit that adds an extra continue or two. Remember oldschool games where you tried to beat the game in the beginner suit? Well this is like that :)

Actually if you want to

Actually if you want to really show off your skill you would do the levels anyway, with only your Newbie gears. And just in case no-one believes you got through all of T2 in your starter gear, Make a video of it and put it on youtube. That, is a testament to your skill. Not this thing.
