Hello, I am a new player, just started a few days ago, and I have fallen in love wih bombing. I have read everything in the elite bombing thread, and the bombing guide on the wiki. I just finished getting my spiral demo set, and am one more T1 boss run away from that shield, which will be the last piece I need to start T2.

I have used the Crystal Shard bomb exclusively through T1. T2 sounds like it is a ton of Jellies which are resistant to piercing, and was just wondering which 3* bomb I should target first to start my T2 experience. I prefer group over solo, but have soloed T1 just fine. I really havent found a good answer to this in the guide or the elite bombing thread. I hope i'm not blind, and missed it ><. Thanks in advance.

I am also looking for friends, as no one I know plays this game, if anyone would be willing to friend a newer knight, with tons of gaming experiance please let me know. ^^

I'm not a pro bomber but...

I'm more of a half swordsmen, half bomber, but i would recommend the Gravatron or the freezing haze bomb. If you can get good at crowd control, a lot of people will like you. I would also recommend not giving up on the Crystal Bomb, Radiant Sun Shards is really good for most enemies once you figure out how to use them, especially in Fire Storm Citadel. Feel free to add me, I'd love to help you out.

If you're going full bomber

If you're going full bomber you need a damage bomb and the best 2* one is the blast bomb

First off, don't get the

First off, don't get the snarby shield, it gives a boost only to swords and alpha wolvers go through any shield like butter. Second, you can never go wrong with the blast bomb series (so long as you stay with the nitronome line). Third, the freezing and fiery vaporizers are the best of the haze bomb lines (just don't pair them together. Ideally you want to have one of every status weapons but since the only shadow bomb is very underpowered (still looks cool though) you'll have to compensate somehow.

This is what I believe to be a good 5* bomber set. Follow these paths and you should do fine.

Helm: Volcanic demo helm.
Armor: Mad bomber suit.
Wep1: Nitronome.
Wep2: Ash of agni/Shivermist buster.
Wep3: Dark Briar barrage.
Wep4: A verstaile gun/sword. Sword is usually leviathan blade, and for guns you might want to look into that a bit further.
Shield: Grey owlite or volcanic plate shield.

I have little experience as a bomber so if anyone disagrees with me who is a pro bomber then they are probably right.
