Run ! Run before you're overwhelmed by the awesomeness of this thread !

So... I know that some people will shout :Ohhh Wolver Line is OPPP, STOP THIS !! but I think that this line lacks something, which is shock. While I am aware that other lines is underpowered, like Bombers, but I thought I should just post it here, and leave it for future. Back to topic.

[A] Alchemy Line :

  • Wolver Coat 2*
  • Dusker Coat 3*
  • Ash Tail Coat 4*
  • Raiju 5*

The helms is the same, but the 5* helm is called : Ikazuchi.

[B] Stats :

  • Wolver Coat 2*
  • The same, nothing changed.
  • Dusker Coat 3*
  • I suggest a change here. If you noticed in Clockworks, the Shock-Themed Wolvers, has the same colour as the Dusker Set. It is probably Toasty themed. Anyways, due to the thing I said before, I suggest changing the medium freeze resistance to low shock resistance. Now the reason behind choosing low over medium, is that because it may become overpowered in T2 LD, so it's better to avoid more whiners.
  • Ash Tail Coat 4*
  • The same as the Dusker. The Ash Tail set is based on the Ash Tail Wolvers in Clockworks, which they are Fire-Themed. I suggest changing the High Freeze resistance to Medium Fire resistance. It's medium, to avoid the overpowerness.
  • Raiju 5*
  • The same amount of Elemental and Normal defense as the Vog Coat. While changing the Max Fire resistance, to High Shock resistance.

Now before you go blabbing about how I didn't write about the defense stats, I will shorten the way for you. Nothing in them will be changed. From the 2* - 4* they will stay the same Piercing + Normal with the same amounts. Only the Raiju will have Elemental defense and normal, same as with Vog Coat.

[C] Design :

In reality, I am an artist, but sadly, I don't have any Drawing Programs to show you the design. If someone know a good free drawing program, please tell me, so I can make one. But don't worry, I will give you the details about it.

  • Helm :
  • The helm Ikazuchiwill have the same color as the Dusker Cap. For the middle line in the face, it will light grey. Through it, there will be shock veins pumping with shock ! The ears will have shock particles coming out from it, the same as the particles from Storm driver. For the fur in the back, it will be grey-ish. Bring the Raichu !!

  • Coat :
  • For the coat, it will be toasty colored. The fur in the back will be dark grey. Instead of the grey dye on the coat, it will be toasty as I said. The foot will have the same graphical effect of the ears in the helm. The line in the middle is going to be light grey.

If someone can draw that for me, I will be grateful.

[D] Description :

Raiju :

Taken from the furs of a legendary wolf. The legend says that the fur is energized with high current, from an unknown source of power. The knights who wears this should be aware from being shocked to death.

Ikazuchi :

Rumored to be worn by a missing knight called : Ryu. It says that it grants the wearer immense power and enables him to perform swift moves, impossible for normal knights.

[E] Bonuses :

Raiju : Attack Speed Increase Low - Movement Speed Increase Low

Ikazuchi : Attack Speed Increase Low - Movement Speed Increase Low

I thought about changing that to MSI medium on each piece, but I will leave that for open discussion later.

[F] Materials :

Raiju :

20 Light Shards
5 Sharp Fangs
4 Monster Bones
3 Bushy Tail
2 Thunderball
1 Sun Silver

Ikazuchi :

20 Light Shards
5 Sharp Fangs
4 Monster Bones
3 Bushy Tail
2 Thunderball
1 Sun Silver

Anything else left ? Hope not...

Warning : If you read this more than once, a slight change of shock will inflict you. Go forth with caution...

Wolver DOES NOT need more lines, especially lines that take away functionality from mercurial lines while giving swordsmen easy access to MSI and shock resistance.

Agreed

I agree, all the the "main" armors in spiral knights already have enough lines/branches, and for a good reason, it's really hard to come up with a new set of armor that isn't similar in fuction to another armor already in the game.

There *are* old dusker wolver files in the game and are different from shocking one.
They are purple. In fact dusker coat doesnt look like them.

So it's mercurial demo with a bit of sword ASI.

I dunno. Guess that seems fine. If that somehow makes sword-people use it over skolver I'll find it kind of odd as it doesn't have that much over regular mercurial. Lockdown-wise, in particular.

@Oatmonster :

I thought about that, but if you noticed, the Raiju and Ikazuchi is Elemental Defense, which doesn't make the Mercurial Set useless, due to its Piercing Defense.
.
.
@Little-Juances :

I thought they were similar in theme, which is Toasty I think. Anyways, what do you say about the Raiju and Ikazuchi ? We can ignore the changes on Ash Tail and Dusker, but what is important here "For me at least" is the 2 5*.
.
.
@Zeddy :

Same as I said to Oat, the Raiju and Ikazuchi is Elemental not Piercing, it won't render the Mercurial to a useless set like the Chaos did.
.

@All :

I suggested this, not because I am a Swordsman, or a Wolver fan. Actually, I did that to make LD have more variety in it, rather than having Skolvers and Snarbolaxes in every match. I also removed the damage bonus to make it balanced, and OP like their counterparts. For the shock, I am asking for it, so players have attention to it, because they probably hate Voltaic Tempest and want to move through it, thus causing variety in armors in LD.

Agreed with Oatmonster.
@Little-Juances those are being reffered to as Badgers in SSpy, so I guess that's a failed texture of them and they scrapped the idea.

And a please from me: Don't turn SK into the japanese named weapons factory.

my 2 cents

What I don't like is that Movement Speed: Low is only on Mercurial Demo and Black Kat Cowl. I don't like a "normal" armor get movement speed bonus...

And yeah, Wolver don't need more lines... It's Spiral Knight not Wolver Knights... -_-

@Little-Juances, Those are badgers, there is a separate texture for "Duskers" and they do look just like Voltails.

@Shamanala, Don't forget the regular Mercurial set.

Hrm, no.

I could see MSI being interesting on gunner armour. Wolver lines are already the most balanced (i.e. between eachother) seeing how there's one for every damage type and they all have somewhat different resistances. MSI medium, no. No. No. Greater MSI numbers would wreck this game as it's not really intended to be used according to the devs, IIRC. Having a max of medium is cool, I guess, but VH would be extreme.

Thumbs up for the reference to this fella though!

Some time ago, I found a video on youtube where someone replaced the textures for a vog set with their own custom Volttail set. This is what you want.
