Leafchime

Hello~
Leafchime here, and i guess this is one of my first forum threads.

I thought this might be fun to do, and it would also help out some of the new players who can't decide on what gear to use etc.
The forum "game" is pretty simple, and it allows you to either get or give gear advice to your fellow knights.

To start off:
-You give the person who posted above you some advice/tips on his loadout/gear setup.
-Then post your own load out :) (include you UVs).

Just copy-paste this template and fill it in:

Class: (Gunslinger/ Swordsman/ Bomber/ Hybrid)
Helm:
Armor:
Shield:
Trinkets:

Weapon 1:
Weapon 2:
Weapon 3:
Weapon 4:

I'll start off i guess~

Class: Gunslinger
Helm: Perfect Mask of Seerus, UV: max shadow
Armor: Shadowsun Slicker, UV: max piercing
Shield: Swiftstrike Buckler, UV: med piercing
Trinkets: Two Elite Trueshot Modules

Weapon 1: Nova Driver, UV: VH CTR
Weapon 2: Biohazard, UV: VH ASI
Weapon 3: Valiance, UV: VH ASI
Weapon 4: Blitz Needle, UV: med CTR

Ricochet-Orange

Here is my list.

Helm: Wolver Cap
Armor: Dusker Coat
Shield: Bristling Buckler

Weapon 1: Tempered Calibur
Weapon 2: Magnus/Cryotech Alchemer/Blaster

I'm wanting to get a Gunslinger hat (looks awesome IMO with the Dusker Coat). I mostly go solo on missions (unless I'm wanting to fight the Royal Jelly (I don't think I have the damage output to beat him). I also want a Twisted Targe. Yeah. Mixed Dusker/Gunslinger.

Dusklinger set! :D

@RicochetorangeThat cryotech

@Ricochetorange

That cryotech alchemer will get a lot better once it is 3 star, especially once it is 4 star.

For some reason, devs made lower star guns just completely suck comapred to their later versions.

For jelly king, use the calibur's charge attack because you can spam it and deal 3 hits of the charge attack per charge, while it is one of the few sword attacks that keeps you safe without needing to pay close attention / skill cap.

For the best damage output, keep him poisoned (poison or green vials, get 3 from previous levels) once he loses his crown. Don't waste poison vials before his crown breaks, because you will be able to easily push past the first phase by spamming your charge attack.

Then, it is important to save up curse vials (red). Curse will make jello man hurt himself pretty bad :3 Curse may even be more important than poison, but poison keeps the fight controlled.

Then finally if you want overkill, get fire vials as well. Since you are before 4 stars, it is in your best interest to keep fire on him after his crown breaks as well.

Also, do not throw vials or attack him while he has a red shield around him and is spinning around berserk.

Otherwise, nice loadout. I like how you are not going full wolver :)

I guess I should put in my loadout, though, to keep the game going

All 5* gunslinger sets, all 5* guns cept for a few, I guess if you have... shield advice? I am using CoA, Royal Jelly, and Grey Owlite because I have accepted them as the best gunner shields depending on strata, but if you have awesome testing that proves a shield better you can post that below. Otherwise, don't worry about giving me advice if you don't have any cause im always pure guns. Instead, you can give ricochetorange more advice if you want, but personally I think he already has a nice all around loadout..

Batabii

All those UVs and you STILL

All those UVs and you STILL use valiance? You have four weapon slots, for crying out loud. Why would you handicap yourself by using that? For that matter, you don't have a single shadow weapon.

Anyway I guess I can post my primary loadout

Class: Hybrid
Helm: Mad Bomber Mask
Armor: Divine Veil
Shield: Barbarous Thorn Shield
Trinkets: Only Tri-heart so far

Weapon 1: Barbarous Thorn Blade
Weapon 2: Sentenza
Weapon 3: Electron Vortex

Can't really afford more slots, btw. Nor are they necessary. This is my basic "anything-goes" all purpose loadout. I could also change the weapons for these, mostly for the sake of gun puppies:

Weapon 1: Faust
Weapon 2: Nova Driver
Weapon 3: Dark Briar Barrage

Helm: Seerus mask of perfect
Armor: Chaos cloak (Fire low ; Elemental low ; Shock med Uvs)
Shield: Ancient plate shield

Weapon 1: Biohazard/Neutralizer

Recommend not rolling on that shivermist buster again unless you are gonna roll quite a bit to get the max CTR.

Fire Storm Citadel useage:

Class: Swordsman
Helm: Skolver Cap fire low
Armor: Vog Cub Coat fire low
Shield: Volcanic Plate Shield
Trinkets: Sword DMG increase low, Soaking Wetstone Pendant

Weapon 1: Divine Avenger Fiend low
Weapon 2: Grand Flourish
Weapon 3: Sivermist buster MK11/Electron Charge
Weapon 4: Silversix

Don't tell me to get 5* I know. I am going to get the other piece of Vog soon for the best FSC performance.

/Side note

Once I finish the Gaunlet, add me in game if you wanna do FSC

I'm surprised

Batabii didnt point out the fact that curse vials are PURPLE and not RED

The-Rawrcake

Ok, not sure who is trolling

Ok, not sure who is trolling here or what.

Batabii

@trying: nobody was talking about curse vials, and they are NOT purple.

Well, I'd say your class is

Well, I'd say your class is hybryd, oh well.
I've never seem someone using Radiant Pulsar, usually they choose Polaris over Supernova due to the elemental damage + shock. The ascended calibur would be good since it's good against anything, just make good use of that charge attack.. Of course a Polaris accompaining the Leviathan Blade would be better. Dark Thorn Blade is ok, but you will have a hard time against constructs and slimes since I don't think the Pulsar will 'cause that much ammount of damage. Good thing we can change the equipment in the beginning of levels, huh?

SO yeah, my loadout.
Class: Hybrid
Helm: Vog Cub Cap (UV: Shock resistance low)
Armor: Armor of the Fallen (UV: normal resistance high)
Shield: Barbarous Thorn Shield
Trinkets:

Weapon 1: Cold Iron Vanquisher (UV: Construct medium)
Weapon 2: Sentenza
Weapon 3:
Weapon 4:
