I know some may not even care about this suggestion, but can't there be a tier 2 thwack hammer and a tier 3 thwack hammer? Can there also be a tier 3 wrench wand too? I mean, these weapons would go great with anyone who has that Darkfang Shield. The weapons should also have split elemental/normal damage because the HIGH damage bonus versus Contructs is not that noticable in tier 2 as you get deeper. The reason why is because I use the Wrench Wand and the Thwack Hammer. I beat the Roarmulus Twins solo with the Wrench Wand and it was already a pain to just knock out an Ironclaw Thwacker with their fellow constructs even though my sword has a damage bonus HIGH vs constructs... The swords will not be overpowered, the only difference is that the Wrench Wand and Thwack Hammer has the Contruct's physical weakness. Or, at least if there is not split normal/elemental damage the normal damage should be a lot higher.
Gremlin weapons
Gonna shamelessly promote myself here.
It is not shameless promotion, that thread is entirely relevant.
The least the developers can do is make 4* or even 5* versions of the thwack hammer and wrench wand.
That's basically what I put inside my thread.
Maybe you should CHECK IT OUT OOOO
I can't wrap my mind around why gremlins are so popular. More-gremlin-weapons-and-armour this, want-to-play-as-gremlins that. They're just one of six enemy families, why do they get a fanclub?
I blame the furries.
It doesn't really help when everything in SK is designed to be....cute. Heck, the same could be applied to the Mewkats, Gun Puppies and Wolvers.
But back on-topic, I'd really like to see more Gremlin gear upgrades -- not to mention a legit way to actually obtain the Darkfang Shield rather than just rare item drops. Maybe make it a boss-token prize or something? That worked nicely with the Quicksilver Mail.
I'd prefer to be a non-Malfunctioning Mecha-Knight over a Gremlin any day.
then if you want to be a non-malfunctioning mecha knight, then lemme say that the mecha knights use a hot edge, shocking edge, bolted blade, poisoning edge, freezing edge. They carry upgraded edge weapons with upgraded iron bucklers in later tiers. See this is what I am saying... Why not create a weapon series for these weapons (wrench wand and thwack hammer included). Do not say brandish series already exists to cover what I just mentioned to justify the edges because brandish swords are common and they are not used by mecha knights. For those, including myself, who wish to somewhat imitate the mecha knights or the gremlins. I suggest that there be made a series of upgrades for the edges, buckler (swiftstrike doesn't count because thats a 3* and it only goes up to a 3*), wrench wand, and thwack hammer... I honestly think it would be cool to see a poisonous-edge series.
The Mercurial Demo Helm appears to have been built from repurposed from Mecha Knight parts...Hmmm. :/
see thats what I do not understand... Why are they making new weapons and armor for a totally different arsenal line? I mean I like the Warmaster Rocket Hammer 5* and the Mercurial Demo set 5*, but c'mon seriously?.. Robo wrecker and Rugged Robo wrecker??? They created a new arsenal line and they expanded that arsenal... Why can't they expand the wrench and series? or the thwack hammer series?
Ironclaw Wrench Wand 3* (original Wrench Wand 2*)
- this sword deals spilt elemental/ normal damage with Damage bonus vs Construct HIGH
Darkfang Wrench Wand 4*
- this sword has increased split elemental/ normal damage with Damage bonus vs Construct HIGH
> "They're just one of six enemy families, why do they get a fanclub?"
Lore: they're the only other species in the game that seems to have a personality. I mean, the slimes, beasts, and robots just do as they do, and even the devilites and spookats don't have much going for them. The Gremlins are a nation that is actually waging a war on the Spiral Knights, and that makes them interesting, and it makes me want to use their own weapons against them.
They are organized and wage war on us, so therefore you like them? Doesn't make sense to me, but there's no accounting for taste I guess.
That was a mean jab a devilites, though. I think they have more personality than the gremlins.
They are also in the war via they supply Grems with items.
And they tried summoning an army against the knights. They have a almost equal role with grems.
And owlites/spookats may be an interesting sidestory. Sutble.
Also, they have a hard life in general. Bad job, overtime, ect.
lol, I need to read the lore on that then...
Devilites and Spookats are actually my favorite enemies, I just think Gremlins have alot more going for them...
Getting a bit off topic though...
Hey, is there a way for a player to get one of those wind-up bombs that the Gremlin bombers use? (see? Back on topic now!)
Meet the Heavy Deconstructor. It's a Gremlin wind up bomb. It has a cool red explosion with a Gremlin symbol in the blast. Its alchemy line stops at 4*. It finds that last fact irritating.
We went from talking about the weaponry to talking about a fanclub for these creatures and then talking about off topic stuff. It's not a fanclub! At least from my perspective. All I am saying is that the developers need to expand on the wrench wand and thwack hammer lines to its 4-5* version. Is that so hard? People seem to be focusing more on the gremlin fanatics than they are focusing on how the arsenal line will expand a little bit and not knowing that it will dramatically improve 2 underated, weak, worthless, whatever you want to call it weapons.
Gremlins and Devilites are the only other communicating, Sentient, humanoid creatures. Devilites do have a following, but gremlins have more of one because, well, they are fuzzy.
Humans seem to by nature like fuzzy things. But show them a baby kitten, and they all go FUUUZZYYYY!!!!
Even I, who do not find much of anything even remotely "cute", Cats and kittens make me freak out and force my self not to hug them to a violent, squishy end.
Humans are mammals. Natural instinct prefers similar beings and dislikes strange beings. Humans do not like aliens as shown in countless alien invasion movies. Humans fear what they do not know. Humans know about being mammals. Humans do not know how other forms of life are. Humans fear other forms of life. Spider and lizard horror movies. Mammal based life is attributed to as relatable to human kind. Mammals are biased in favor of. Devilites are akin to spawn of "hell". "Hell" is bad according to common belief. Bad things are unknown. "Hell" is unknown. Things from "hell" are strange and bad. Devilites are bad and unrelatable. Gremlins are mammalian. Humans like mammals for similarity. Humans prefer gremlins and beasts. Luguiru likes constructs because they are science. Luguiru likes science. Science sacrifices everything for the greater cause. Luguiru murders children by beating them to death with pudding. Pudding is deadly. Death is unknown. Humans fear the unknown. Therefore, humans fear my pudding.
I think I broke something.
I still blame furries for the gremlin obsession.
Lock up your forum.... Lock up your thread... make way for the back door and run for your head... the furries be back in town. So don't go messing around.
tbh I like Fiends... it's just they annoy the crap outta me in PvE.
Jellies are food. Kats are food. Undead is something to gnaw on. Devilites are poor overworked souls. Greavers are like Zubats....
Gremlins have developed complex weaponry, robot armies, and contain the most lore....
Fiends have office supplies, overtime, and graffiti
Beasts got teeth, stupidity, and Snarby
Constructs are developed by Gremlins
Undead have Grimalkins and are dead from the get go.
Most likeable = Gremlins.
I gotta take alphastevo's side here. His idea is just like mine but his focus is on the thwack hammer. We are not talking about furries, gremlin fanatics, whatever. That has absolutely nothing to do with why the wrench wand and thwack hammer need to be expanded to thier 4*-5* version.
why don't we create a fan base back story on wiki for each monster type and their families. it would be so fun to see what we could come up with and the arguments we would have about each one.
main topic,
about wench wand and thwack hammer. there star 1 i believe, so mostly all star 0 to 1 do not continue to 5 like the punch gun even though there's magnus there unrelated in crafting. so well have to create a weapon that starts at star 2 or 3 that is related to the wench and thwack but not related in crafting. that all.
If you actually read the thread you would know your necro was entirely unnecessary and unhelpful.
how is it a necro, when its recent?
Move that to suggestion forum.
