Too many people ask me to help them with fiends.
Now you can help yourself!

Enjoy everyone!
Finally Fixed the video

(Link below)

Sorry I sound so congested, my mic is pretty busted up lol

GM thinks religion is a race, too damn funny.
Religion belief slander =/= Racism
Political belief slander =/= Racism
What adult does not know what Racism is? Seriously pathetic. Children are moderating these forums?
I think I'll keep making jokes about my own religion, thanks though!
New video with that line removed:
Removed by GM

Rofl at OOO trying to censor me because I talked about how I dislike their money grab updates and then editing my post with lies about how I am being racist by cracking a PG-13 one-liner about my own religion.
Don't think I will by buying energy for a long time, good job losing a high paying customer, at least until I see an apology of some sort.

Nice video (only watched with no sound as am at work so I can't comment on the commentary) good technique on the deviltes & kats - should be helpful to those who don't know how handle fiend strata - Pointy stick & freeze bomb ftw I always say =]

Not sure I agree with your approach to grievers though, trying to full combo them just means moving forwards through thier status field - better to slash, shield then backup, repeat ...otherwise you get shocked by the unblockable maisma of shock rawwrrr...

Nice to see a helpful 'non bragging' post from you Chris, more of this please.

I've only found fiends to be

I've only found fiends to be hard in the Dark City levels (see: small arenas, kats, flying objects). The Develish Drudgery levels are annoying to an extent, but they aren't even half as bad as Dark City.
Fiends can be the stuff of nightmares if you don't come armed to the teeth to fight them.

hmph

I have about as much trouble with fiends as Chris does, heck, maybe less. Most enemies I can handle with zero damage unless I just derp it but I find it impossible to not take damage when battling fiends, especially greavers.

I was hoping to learn how to totally pwn the fiends but it looks like I am about as accomplished as anyone is going to get.

Overall, the video made me feel pretty good about myself. Thanks!

@Crown-Hogs-Rock If you have

@Crown-Hogs-Rock If you have trouble with fiends in enclosed spaces, a DBB is a great weapon to use. The radius is massive enough to pretty much cover entire rooms, and you should only need 2-3 bombs to take down the fiends, and kats should go down in 3 at most.

Having CTR helps, but just running around like a crazy SOB while charging will also do just fine.

I've got a series of fiend-bombing videos on my youtube channel, but I won't hijack Chris's thread linking to them. They're easy enough to find.

WHY

Does your shield no delay? U have almost no lag and yet there is a delay between when shield goes up and defense comes in. took a hit from a trojan when i was shielding once during the delay. Y U NO DELAY!?

6:33, 8:57, 14:20, It must be

6:33, 8:57, 14:20, It must be nice playing with good connection. You can't shield like that with my connection. those attacks would have hit me, even if I did exactly what you did.

In fact with fiends I've sometimes found life bars coming out of me before the furniture connected. Seriously, I can take devilites, but my lag kills me every time.

Well, Chris, I didn't think

Well, Chris, I didn't think my opinion of you would drop much more, but your racist language in that video managed to drop it even more.

Racist language?Stop pissing

Racist language? I forgot religion is now a race, HURRR DURRR.

You clearly have never watched comedy central, any JOKES I made in my video were VERY pg-13.
You DO need to be 13 to play this game, by the way, so I suggest you leave now.

I forgot it would make me a horrible person to crack a harmless joke about my own religion, let me just censor myself for some random child on the spiral knights forums...

Some of the people who play this game man... really makes me depressed to think humanity could become this stupid and sensitive.

The issue of political correctness is of growing concern these days, but it's not a discussion for these forums here.

Regardless, I did watch your video, Chris, before it was taken down, and it was highly informative. Thank you.

That said, if you do decide to upload a new version, could I suggest that you do your tutorial in 4* gear, if possible? That way, it more resembles the type of setups that beginner Tier 3 players will have.

Chris: The GM was correct to

Chris: The GM was correct to remove the link from your post, as its content ran afoul of the forum guidelines. Typically we try to be quite lenient about links, but your content crossed the line. I apologize for the rude awakening there.

In addition:

- The forum guidelines also say that reposting something that has been moderated (which you did by re-editing your OP) is a violation.

- They also state that if you take issue with a support action or forum moderation, the place to address that is via the support form, where your complaint can be quickly escalated to a lead for review.
