Looking for help to fill out my Hybrid guide on the Wiki found here http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Hybrid_Guide. I already started it, but it needs more information.

(Note): This guide is suppose to give tips on how to combine different elements from the Swordmaster Guide, Bomber Guide, and Gunslinger Guide not make a whole new class! ;)

many kinds of hybrids; focus on one?

Well, a hybrid guide is worth a shot, but there seems to be an inherent problem: There are many different kinds of hybrid users. For example, a bomber who carries a Leviathan Blade for emergencies is quite different from a hybrid sworder/gunner. Maybe focus on just one kind of hybrid?

So far, your guide seems to select shields and armor, but I cannot tell why you are selecting those particular pieces for a hybrid player. Might not a hybrid sworder/gunner like a mix of sworder and gunner armor, for example? Instead, your guide prominently features Azure Guardian and Aegis.

I recommend that you develop this guide in your personal namespace (User:Ackald or whatever) before trying to make it public. It will take you a while, to get all of the basic material there. And, once the basic material is there, you still have to revise and polish. The revision process is at least as long as the basic material part. Good luck.

Thanks Bopp...

Thanks Bopp, Right now I'm pretty tired... In fact that is the first time I've ever really edited the Wiki so I've been trying to cram all of this formatting stuff into my head -_- Anyways I'm really trying to get help from the community to edit this guide along with me. That is why I made it public.

Bopp is right

in the way that there are many different hybrid users. Thankfully there are only 3 different kinds of weapons in Spiral Knights, which means that your hybrid guide (I am assuming hybrid meaning using different kinds of weapons) only has 4 hybrid guides you need to make.

Sword/Gun
Sword/Bomb
Gun/Bomb
All 3.

However of course should you wish to expand your hybrid guide to:
Primary: Sword
Secondary: Gun
vs
Primary: Gun
Secondary: Sword
and so forth, you will take a very long time to finish, since there are so many myriad possibilities.

Its worth a shot and is very good for those people like me who do not wish to be confined to a single weapon type so as to explore the various possibilities there are in spiral knights.

Bopp is also right in the way that the Azure Guardian set is not a particularly good set for anything, and you will need to explore gunner/sworder/bomber armour combinations to suit various needs. For example, a sword/bomber hybrid in FSC might be:
Volcanic Demo Helm
Vog Cub Coat
GOS
Electron Vortex
DA

Where the benefits of the armour specifically benefit the weapons chosen, ASI boosting DA's swing speed and CTR helping one put faster electron vortexes, while the defenses of the armour (double max fire) are great for FSC in overall. Note that this set is not designed for vanaduke.

Also, please do put a disclaimer that the guide is far from complete, and that you are looking for help in editing it in the wiki page. Good luck, and the hybrid guide might just become the largest page in the whole wiki. :D
