I'm offended :'(

Lockdown tips: Don't walk into haze spammers like an idiot >.> (unless they're me, please do, I like keeping you close to me <3)

Royal jelly bands are bought with primal sparks, not jelly tokens.

And people in skolver gear have less to fear about piercing weapons than anyone else - you do know how defence works, right? In any case, most players carry a sword that can 1-3 shot kill anyone. It's not all about weapons and gears and it's laughable that you're giving loadout advice as "lockdown tips". Someone posted a thread with actual strategy tips which is proper advice.

It's like FSC. You can get the cookie cutter loadout, but if you sucked before, you'll suck after. Skill > gear.

Here are some of the main strategies I see, and what I named them.

Commando Force- You know, the 2 or 3 die-hards that charge to every point to capture it. generally two Strikers and a Guardian, the winning Commando combo. Recons are good too, but only generally in a bigger group. You know, two or three go down, and all of a sudden here come the Recons. This is an important role though, and should not be taken lightly.

Taunter- Yeah that annoying Striker that you just want to shove your sword through his/her chest. Possibly more. Or even Recons, but your gonna want to be fast for this job.

Silk Shield- Like a Silkwing, but Knight version.

Spookat- My favourite role, I play it all the time. Recon only job. Capture a CP, and stay there a while, killing any lone enemy that dares to try and capture it, while staying hidden. If you think you can take more than one, well great for you! Try and stay near the locker room though, so you can run back to heal, when you're in over your head.

Tips
Get an elemental damaging gun. Trust me, i've paid dearly for not doing it.
Try for a shadow damge sword, or stay with the Calibur line. Don't have to go Leviathian though.
When the battle is being fought for one CP, go far away! Do you know how many CPs you can steal like this?
Gunners vs. Bombers. Stay out of range, and gunners win every time.
Recon vs. Striker- Whoever has the better strategy wins. Edge to Recon.
Recon vs. Guardian- Unless you can break the shield, that Guardian's probably gonna win.
Guardian vs. Striker- the Striker's just too fast, that battle probably won't take place. Edge to noone.

Ultimate Player?- For me, it's the Recon, you cna disappear, and appear with that Nightblade and slash! Your enemy's down.

don't bother trying to use a health capsule if a rock jelly drops it. you can't use it.

Are you serious? Some of these tips are just...not that good
Kwizzy, Negima, and Evilduck are some of the posts that I'd like to point out (# 2,3,4)

Yeah follow their rules and you got basic tips.
This is just mediocre at best.

What do you know, my tip worked.

Right so, I'm no expert at Lockdown but I'll chip in my share of what I've learned.

First and foremost, (from what I've gathered) if you're in Europe or fairly far away from North America chances are you'll be experiencing a good second or more of lag because - correct me if I'm wrong but - Three ring's Servers are based in NA, which means you'll have to learn to act a second earlier so that your actions are as intended rather than a second late. This can take some getting used to, I can't say how many times I've swung too early to counter the lag or got caught up in the heat of battle and forgotten about the lag making me a second too late.

Striker: I play Striker 99.9% of the time because I find it the most fun, I can't stand playing the other classes because (imo) Guardians are cheap and recon is ridiculously buffed, both of which I find no interest in playing anyway. Most people play the Striker class really... badly, as for myself, I know what to do to a certain extent, but I'm not what people would call a "skilled" player by a long shot.

I assume a lot of people would use the Striker's booster to get close to an enemy to try and hit them and kill them which is essentially what your aim is when trying to out-play your opponent(s), however, I've found that if I use the Striker's booster to create an unorthadox/unpredictable style of play I can easily confuse and "catch-out" the opposition making the kill so much easier rather than a back and forth "to-me-to-you" feeling which usually ends up with the player who attacked first winning the battle. What I mean by this is, not boosting in guns (or swords in this case) blazing trying to spam whatever weapon you have selected. Try to use your booster not to boost IN to your enemy, but more-so use it to gain a positional advantage over your enemy so that they have a harder time trying to hit you, you want to be the one alive and capping, and not the one sitting at the respawn screen wondering why you just tripped over a pile of your own health bars.

Recon: As Gwen said, the predictability of recon players is ridiculous, you have to think outside of the box when playing and trying to break a recon out of stealth/invisibility. Also, don't bet on spamming your gun to break the recon out of stealth unless of course you're rocking the Gunslinger series and you know for sure where he/she is because by the time you come to your first reload the recon can use that time to shove his weapon up your ***.

Guardian: I don't know what to say about Guardians really, I don't play Guardians or Recon that much, I just find that when someone is playing a guardian class, I break their shield with whatever gun I may have equipped and then take the remaining health with a full-combo from my GF or Dark Thorn Blade (if I can risk it) or manoeuvre around my enemy trying not to get hit if a full-combo isn't an option.

As I see it resistances are up the sh*tter, I've been 2 hitted by FF and BTB in Full Skolver and been able to 2 and in some cases one shot people in Seraphic/Fallen Armour in some cases. I don't know what's going on there to be quite honest.

Well, that just about sums up what I could think of for Lockdown tips, if I got anything wrong, don't hesitate to correct me. And as I say, I'm no Lockdown expert so I'm sorry if these tips are completely useless to you. .____.

im pretty usless but i do have a few tips
1: if your recon and have a very powerful sword sneak up behind some unsuspecting victim and attack from behind how to do this is get behind attack as quick as possible then hide again do this until the enemys is dead job done but this doesnt work if there are big numbers of enemys .
2:with guardian attack like a clever person would with monsters:attack shield attack and so on it works cause this shield is built for high strenth so you've got a chance unless against a guy with something from sealed sword series .
3:with striker i think the best idea is dash up to a opponent then confuse by going in circles around while shooting at or bombing the enemy/s
