Hi everyone!
I've been gaming on Spiral Knights for a few months now, so I'm not really a new recruit, but one thing I've never done is Lockdown.
I just purchased the battle pack, and was looking to give it a whirl! I've read the lockdown guide in the wiki, but it's a little light on details. I know like the clock-works, lockdown is divided into 3 tiers (0-1 star equipment is tier 1, 2-3 star is tier 2, and 4-5 star is tier 3). I've got a bunch of 4-5 star equipment, but thinkin' tier 3 lockdown might not be the best place to get started.
What tier should I start in, and what equipment should I have for that tier? And then, as a new player, what should I do to familiarize myself with lockdown?
Thanks!
T2 and T3 are different in many gears. T2 would probably be easier to start out in.
Dusker, swift flourish, and heart pendants if you happen to have them. Play a lot, to understand the game. Not much you can do beyond practice, learn weapons range and pattern, and overcoming the rage of dying every minute.
