This is a challenge that will test an individual’s skills and agility. The challenge is MOSTLY skill based however to the individual it’s a test, a test to prove that they have the skills to be a Spiral Knights master! For the collective its race, a race to the top of the ladder. To be quick and to avoid death. That is the goal. Will you be the one? Or the one who rules all?

Rules and conditions:

1. You are only permitted to wear 0* armor and helm

2. You are permitted to carry a shield up to 3*. However the player has 2 choices:

a. They choose to use the shield and forgo all assists (7 in total)
b. They choose the assists and forgo the use of the shield

3. The use of no more than 1 trinket is permitted

4. A player is permitted to use weapons up to and including 5*

5. I will accompany you on the run however I will provide no combat assistance whatsoever (this excludes shield bumps, revives and assists). For this to be possible i must remain alive at all times. also if in the event i do die i will revive myself.

6. Each stage must be cleared as quickly as possible however some enemies may/should be killed along the way (not all the enemies need to be
killed and danger rooms are not compulsory)

7. The event will be timed and all deaths (by the challenger) will be taken into account. The final time will be calculated to the nearest minute. This is the players score and is calculated by multiplying the time by the number of deaths incurred (by the challenger NOT the host to be clear on this!!!!!!). (Eg. 3hours 0mins and 2 deaths = 180 minutes multiplied by 2 = 360 points).

8. Under NO circumstances are the contestants allowed to tell the host of the challenge to die intentionally for ANY reason. (Please refer back to rule 5)

NOTES:

Assists:

- An assist is when I will provide full combat support for a single depth this can be requested at any time but only 7 assists will be provided (CHOOSE WISELY WHEN USING THESE!!)

Scoring:

- When calculating a score and a player’s death total is 0 then the score is 0.
- And if the score is 1 the score is unchanged
- Each death adds a penalty multiplier to the final time (eg: 100mins and 3 deaths = 300 points)
- the lowest score AND 0 deaths takes first place in the contest standings. (this only applies if there is a tie between 2 or more players who share a 0 death total)

AF:

- Also in regards to timing if either player needs to go AFK then the timer is stopped and both players must cease action immediately (keeping in mind that if the contestant is fighting and is unable to stop they must finish off all monsters causing them immediate danger and move to a safe location until the AFK person returns).

Extra challenges

- Apart of the challenge i may from time to time throw a sidewinder in your direction i.e.: shield bump enemies closer to you, place objects in inconvenient places and anything else that may come to mind. This is to test problem solving and quick thinking abilities.

Last word the motivation behind the creation:

- You may be wondering why I put this together. Simple: I felt this was a good opportunity to create an environment in which both I and the contestant can learn new and strengthen old skills.
