@Usevnsevnsixfivfor
To fight one? I'd recommend Venom Veiler. Very few resist it at all and will suffer heavily from it. Combined with a fine Ironmight Platemail set, perhaps some UVs, and preferrably two Penta-Heart Pendants, and you'll be able to tank them like nothing else in SK does.
To use as one? Venom Veiler really works here, too, roughly for the same reasons. You could also roll with Swagger Storm, makes it easy to run up to the enemy and slap them in the face with a rolled up Gran Faust.

@Thowardz
Regarding the title of your post, you are somewhat incorrect. See, as I've explained before, there are two kinds of strikers.
A) The archetype.
B) The Lockdown class.
What Usevnsevnsixfivfor asked about was Skolver clones, which means that he was talking about type B. They usually don't bring bombs but it happens.

For a Striker, the hardest class to fight is probably a skilled Guardian or Piercing defender. Or just another Striker. I'm not sure as it's more dependent on the player behind the Knight rather than the class of the Knight.

Yes, I do use guns in Lockdown. This is when I'm not playing as a Striker Archetype, but rather as a Lockdown Striker.

@Thowardz

Well, it depends. If the item in question does not have a UV, it has an about 1 in 10 chance of getting a UV. If it does have a UV, you can't get a new UV unless you disable the keep unique variants check-box when upgrading.

Striker+Bomber=interesting...

Personally, I'm a T3 striker, and one of my friends is a pure bomber. We don't really play well together. Whenever I go for an enemy (say a jelly cube in the RJP) i always knock it out of the blast zone (joy, an angered bomber). When we hang out in the guild hall, we sometimes argue about who has the highest DPS rate. Me, with a grand flourish, blazebrand and silent nightblade (and full ash tail+dts), or him, with full 4* demo gear (no idea what the names are) and various bombs including 4*freezing and fire vaporizer, electron vortex and possibly some shard bombs. anyone know who is more powerful?

Ah yes...

I've been playing with my good friend Zeddy since ages back. Him being a bomber and I a swordsman, we've learned to cooporate. The greatest combo is truly any sword and Electron Vortex. It'll kill stuff faster than Sonic runs a marathon. This combo works with pretty much any elemental or shadow sword, Troikas, and Caliburs. That leaves us with Cutter-line swords and Toothpicks. I wouldn't really recommend using Warmaster Rocket Hammer with that combo but I haven't tried too much.

Apart from Vortexes, your bomber friend has a lot of good bombs. His method of dealing damage is to have enemies get hit by his bombs and your method of dealing damage is to hit your enemies with swords. How does this combine in the end? You mentioned that you often knock enemies out of his bombs, which is a bad thing. Rather than that, you should do it the other way around. If an enemy is not in the area of effect of one of his bombs, you can knock it into it. Aside from that, if the two of you ever go to say, arenas in the Arcade, your friend might be busy trying to make all of the enemies burn. What you should do as someone with good and quick single-target damage is to take out key targets, such as healers, and turrets.

Oh wait, your question was which one of you is the most powerful. I can safely say that swords are generally more powerful but if you can cooporate well, a bomber and a swordsman can be as strong as three individual players.

Edit: oh dear I actually made a serious post here, dang.

I heard about some level with good payout called Royal Jelly Palace. Should I go there?

Pardon for not answering in a while. There's this great game known as Cube World that got released a few days ago and I've been consumed by it. Let's get to work!

@Thowardz
'Cause it's the most OP sword in the game.

@Usensevnsixfivfor
No. You should go to Firestorm Citadel like the real men do with their blitzes and overpowered brandishes.

@Beats
Wild Hunting Blade has lots of l33t sw4g but Dread Venom Striker is overall better. It's a bit faster but doesn't have as much interruption on the charge. The problem is that there's still too little interruption on the charge of Wild Hunting Blade so it doesn't really matter. The beast bonus doesn't mean a lot, though it comes in handy at times. The poison, on the other hand, is always useful.

@Gyles
If they use AT, it's the same strategy as dealing with AT using Flourish wielders. If they don't I might or might not be screwed. Either way, when the fight ends, it is my duty as a generic turd to call them a n00b.

Uhh...what are blitzes? I see you want me to upgrade to Voltedge though. How do I get these "blitzes"? And one of my buds told me that Firestorm Citadel was too dangerous for me.

I heared about Cube World. I wanna get it!

And the other day I got ASI VH on my Combuster on my first punch in SK. On a scale to 1-10 (10 being awesomest) how good of a uv did i get?

@Usevnsevnsixfivfor
I'm not entirely sure but extensive research has led me to believe it's some weird stuff people use to beat the fecal matter out of Vanacluck in less than a minute.

Your UV gets a 7. CTR would've been better as that'd make you land on CTR Max without any other equipment once the Combuster is fully heated. It's no double or triple UV, either.

@Shocking-Beats
Get a Flourish.

The best would be to get all Wolver sets and mix and match. Of course, you'll be just fine with the Skolver set if you've got m4d l33t sk1llz like I do.

@Thowardz (get a better PC)
1. Spiral Knights. Although Cube World is great, it does lack quite a bit. Nonetheless, it's just in alpha. Tons of content planned for it.
2. Naturally!
3. No. Flash games suck and I'm too busy playing Spiral Knights, Cube World, Warframe, and Sonic Adventure 2. I play too many games... I should do more programming, really.

@Shocking Beats

The only difference is the charge attack. In my opinion, Flourishes are more fun because of that as BTB has a pretty boring charge. If we are to look at it more objectively, Flourishes have a charge better suited for single targets while a Snarbypick has a charge better suited for crowds. In the end, both work for both, but not quite as well as the other one.

It's profitable but not as profitable as FSC.

No. I rated the UV, not surrounding gear. CTR is still in my opinion better for a striker as CTR sources are more rare.

@Thowardz
I don't even understand the title of the video and I'm busy enjoying music. The video apparently has low volume too so I don't know. I doubt you can do much to affect drop rates for stuff, regardless. You just have to pray to RNGsus and hope he's a kool beanz dude.

Okay so I think I should do RJP. I got enough tokens to get either a Sealed Sword or an Antighua. My buds told me the Jelly mail sucks so I thought I thought about getting a weapon. The sword is slow but powerful and the gun has lots of ammo and reloading isn't a problem. Which one should I get? I also hear that the upgrades are awesome.

In time you'll be able to get both so it doesn't really matter. Considering that Antigua is piercing and Sealed Sword is normal, you might want the sword first as it's usable in RJP, unlike the gun.
