1.) lets face it. our people are dying down there man.. so there should be arcane forces reanimating our rotting corpses and using them against us in graveyards or other missions with undead themes. i don't believe the current zombie classes are meant to be us, so I would like to see one or both of these:
- ghosts of spiral knights (transparent, maybe glowing)
- zombies of spiral knights (decayed looking, sluggish)
either could come in a few flavors.. different armor sets, one for each weapon class (bomber, sword, handgun). something would have to be different in their behavior to make them less like gremlins with those types of weapons.. you can figure that part out.
the phantom enemy we already know might be intended to be a ghost of a spiral knight, of that I'm not sure. but this would be something we'd actually be able to permanently defeat.
and if the developers were to add either of these types, it would be nice if they were rare, or had a rare drop.. for some sort of decayed/zombie armor set that could only be obtained through drops. could be 3-5 star equipment, but would more or less be a trophy for encountering/hunting them down.
in general, more unique armors like that would be nice for costume purposes, if not useful in their own right.
and these enemies might even merit their own special level.. "those who came before us" or something.
2.) necromancers. I know there is essentially a totem that acts as a necromancer, so it would be nice to have an enemy capable of doing the same. whether they re-animate zombies or just spawn their own type of undead minion, whatever you think is best. im not sure how current undead respawns work, but this would have to not be something players could exploit for extra crowns/mats. maybe they drop rewards initially, but dont when reanimated. i just like the idea of an enemy that spawns off others like a factory, and we already have some things that act like this (jelly king right?) but this would be a more common one, or at least a trojan knight / tortodrone style enemy.
eh? eh?
Phantoms and Robo-Knights/Zombie-Knights already exist. They attack and function just like regular Knights, capable of using charge attacks that real weapons have, combo attacks that real weapons have, and blocking. (Actually, I'm not sure if Phantoms can block, but I know Robo-Knights do).
Necromancers would just be really wonky, but could be a nice challenge in graveyard stages(beyond T2, to prevent difficulty barricades).
