Currently, I have been playing T1 Lockdown & I've got to say, it's pretty fun. I just want to know if I got the Best Gear with the right Class. What do you think?

Recon Class
Spiral Scale Helm(Only Helm I could find w/o Negative Stats; Going to A UV in the Future, probably Shock & Normal: High-Max!)
Circuit Breaker Suit(Mysterious Breaker Suit missing Negative Stats; Going to add UVs in the Future, probably Fire & Normal: High-Max!)

Bolted Blade(Standard, 3-Swing Sword w/o Status giving Effects; Going to give ASI: Med-Very High UV)
Zapper(Charge Attack is GREAT against any Class, disrupting their Abilities/Attack, while dealing Damage; Going to give this a CTR: Med-Very High UV)

I know this won't be important, but I'll also be Adding Accessories to my T1 Lockdown Gear, because I want to really stand out from the Crowd. What would you think of these Combos?

Spiral Scale Helm
F-Cool Helm-Mounted Display
S-Cool Com Unit
T-Cool Spike Mohawk

Circuit Breaker Suit
F-Cool Canteen

I've tried using the other Classes, but I only seem to do great in Recon, so changing Classes is out of the Question.

Using a heavy hatchet can

Using a heavy hatchet can also be great for the swarms of t1 players trying to hack your arms off one half pip at a time. But other than that, it's a great loadout.

A tip regarding your helm.

The piercing defense on it is going to waste. I think it's worth the weakness to status effects to pick up one of the -break helms. I recommend the Emberbreak Helm since Shock and Freeze are not used as often as Fire.

Can you put on Costumes in Lockdown?

I've gotten a couple of Recipes to Rage Craft, till I get the Desired UV(s) I want on my Stuff. Can I put my Scale Helm on top of the Breaker Helmet I chose?

EDIT: Also, Can you use any Heart Trinket or just the *1 one?

1.Costumes don't show on

1.Costumes don't show on lockdown
2. T1 is anything with 0 or 1 stars, so just the starting hearth trinket works

A pair of 1* heart trinkets

A pair of 1* heart trinkets will give you +4 health, and are the only trinkets available for use in T1 LD.

Be warned, though: you may fall asleep while waiting to die when someone attacks you when you've got them equipped.

Okay, I've Finished & Finalized my Decision.

Recon Class

Heart Pendant- +2 Health
Heart Pendant- +2 Health

Circuit Breaker Helm
UV1-Normal Defence: High-Max!
UV2-Freeze Resist: Low-Very High

AF-Toasty Vented Visor
AS-Toasty Com Unit
AT-Toasty Spike Mohawk

Circuit Breaker Suit
UV1-Normal Defence: High-Max!
UV2-Fire Resist: Low-Very High

AF-Toasty Canteen
AB-Military Vitakit

Static Edge
UV1-ASI: High-Very High

Zapper
UV1-CTR: High-Very High

I've picked this Loadout, because:

-Shock is Deadly to all Classes in my Experience.
-Most 0-1* Weapons Deal Only Normal Damage, so my Defence against most Attacks will just seem to bounce off.
-I keep getting Destroyed by Strikers & Demolished by Guardians, so the Extra Health will Help.
-I will be able to Strike faster than other Sword-Wielding Recons & Surpass the Class Debuff with my Static Edge.
-I will be able to Shock Enemies at a distance, aswell as pushing them back with my Zapper's Charge.

If you see any Flaws, please tell me.

Yeah, if someone is wearing

Yeah, if someone is wearing circuit breaker armor. All of your stuff hinges on shock, but I would suggest branching out. Maybe getting a hot edge for the extra damage from fire.
