1. As a defender elite. How can I farm Shining fire crystal quickly? All I do is play mission "The Cold Blood". Finding only boxes and run from monster like a coward.
2. What bomb should I get first?
3. Do you like water war?

No.
@Thowardz
1. For the moment, Shining Fire Crystals are extremely common. I suggest FSC runs if you can. Just stick to full T3 Arcade runs, otherwise.
2. Depends on what you want. An offensive or defensive one? For the former, I recommend Dark Briar Barrage, Nitronome, Dark Retribution, Cold Snap, or Firecracker. For the latter, I suggest Voltaic Tempest, Venom Veiler, Electron Vortex, or Swagger Storm.
3. That sounds like a very primitive form of war.

So....
To be a striker you need a 5* wolver set,brandishes and flourish?

@U77654
Sonic 0666.
@Daljac
Correct, although you only need one sword and it can also be a Cutter or a Spur.

Let's start by looking here:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Lancer_Knightz_(Guild)/Sword_Combos_Per_Minute
Divine Avenger at max ASI has 37 combos per minute, resulting in 74 hits per minute since it has two hits per combo.
Leviathan Blade at no ASI has 31 combos per minute, with 3 hits per combo. This means that we get 93 hits per minute.
Close, but not quite there.

I'm just now starting to question this thread.
Can you take the damages of those swings into account? Not in the mood for testing... my knight connected to SK is too dormant.

Why yes indeed I can! Would you like me to?
Wait, you probably meant that you want me to since you wondered if I was able to. Why would you ask about that if you weren't wondering about the results? Humans are silly beings!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkB_kx1fvrxadHBaUFhGVUdlNWh...
Depth 24, no damage bonus, enemy is neutral to damage.
DA, first attack: 198
DA, second attack: 291
DA, combo damage sum: 489
Combos per minute at 6 ASI: 37
489 * 37 / 60 = 301.55 DPS
Levi, first/second attack: 193
Levi, third attack: 241
Levi, combo damage sum: 627
Combos per minute at 0 ASI: 31
621 * 31 / 60 = 320,85 DPS
Have a look in the sheet I linked if you want to try with DA vs something it's effective against or so. Do note that Levi shares damage values with Final Flourish so that's where it's listed.

Fine more questions
1. Krabob, would you play Ride to hell: retribution on your PC? It is been hailed as one of the worst PC game title of all time.

Few more
1. Would you rather be hit by a bus or be sat on by King Krogmo?
2. Have you attempted a gun-only run?
3. Do you find it annoying when people bring a Polaris to IMF?
4. Have you ever tried a RJP run with just a DVS?
5. Have you tried a no shield run in a boss stratum?
6. Which full set would you recommend for FSC? Snarbolax (minus the shield) or Vog Cub?
7. If there were such thing as a normal damage Brandish line, would you consider getting it? How about a no-status elemental variant?
8. Any swords you would remove from the game?
Mon, 11/25/2013 - 04:02
#321
@Sonosuke
1. The latter. Dat butt, y'know.
2. Probably at some point.
3. I hardly run IMF but I find it annoying when people use only Polaris no matter where one is.
4. No. Maybe I should do that, though.
5. No, that sounds counterproductive and I'd just use Brandish charge spam in that case.
6. Vog Cub. Fire resistance > Shadow defence and the damage bonus doesn't help vs Trojans or Vana.
7. I'm trying to get all swords so I'd get them both.
8. No. There are some swords that fill a few niches and that's how it should be but there are also swords that roflstomp all of Cradle or handles nothing better than other swords. Rebalancing is what we need, not less swords.

@Battlestripe
I will refrain from directly helping you but I can tell you that you'll have the best luck with finding such orbs in Stratum 3. Stratum 4 can work too but not as well. You'll find an orb every now and then in RJP but it's mostly Elite ones there.

Kkk, so since Strikers only use swords right? but what if there was only guns to use from? (Yea I got backup YOU CANT SAY "I wont even play SK then")
So tell me all of your choices (Yea you can do any, Bet polaris/Valiance and the Drivers) 5* only :P

Oh
That wasnt what I thought. How do I not suck at being a striker with a Avenger and Gig Pulsar? Or maybe Silent Nightblade... God LD T3 sucks with Flourishes and GF, DA's ( do have a 4* flourish forgot the name though :P, and I wear Ash coat no trinks and.... Yea)
Wed, 12/11/2013 - 12:53
#346
Gigawatt isn't a proper LD gun. Sure, nice crowd control but it's worthless in 1v1. I recommend a Valiance (or currently Master Blaster 'cause radiants). You could also wait for the gunner update and see what it brings. No matter, I do not recommend Gigawatt if you only have two slots.
As for your swords, all are usable. Grand Flourish is overall a beast. Avenger is good but you can't depend on it if you don't have more than med ASI. It can do well with your Flourish so that you have something to bounce between with switch swinging to not run out of attacks, though. Silent Nightblade is okay but it's not very useful since it won't outshine Grand Flourish in terms of power (SNB is a bit more powerful but not a lot) or speed or reach until you upgrade and heat it, which might be hard.

This isnt anything about "Striker"
What weps should I buy from brinks using tokens
Which one gives the most Heat, Money, Easiness and Quickness?
Snarby, Jelly, Puppies or Big fat, firey guy? (You can do one Description to each boss)
What armour do you think is the best in SK? (Combinations)
Should I get Catalyser? I do have Gig pulsar though :/
Thu, 12/12/2013 - 09:35
#348
I'll need more information if you want me to answer your first question. It depends on what you have, what you want, and what you need.
GWW gives bad heat, bad money, is super easy, and is thus the fastest.
RJP pays well, gives moderately good heat, is rather easy, and can be done in about 20 min.
IMF is roughly the same but a bit harder and pays a bit less. It's tons more fun, though.
FSC pays silly amounts in heat and CR while also being possible to complete in roughly 20 min (speedrun) without any trouble if you know the place.

My Reply
1. If I had every boss token
2. Whats with Catalyzers charge which I saw in the vid?
3. Which one of Catalyzers upgrades should I get?
4. Aaaand Is GF Better than DA in lockdown (Its a yes right?)
Fri, 12/13/2013 - 09:47
#350
1. All of them? Many boss weapons are good. Snarble Barb is a toothpick just like Flourish and that's nice. Antiguas turn into great side arms although they aren't very good damage weapons. Sealed Swords are rather powerful and the regular SS charge is tons of fun. Catalyzers are wonderful. Pulsars are good crowd control but shouldn't be spammed. FoV is a trophy weapon.
2. That's the selling point of Catalyzers. The really quick charge is a slow bullet that attaches to enemies. Upon shooting an enemy with such a bullet, the bullet explodes. Explosions trigger explosions of other bullets on other mobs, as well. Huge explosions in crowds are devastating and often clear all enemies present.
3. I recommend Neutralizer. Biohazard is better vs Slimes and Gremlins but Gremlins commonly bring shields and dodge so Catalyzers are overall not very prefered for Gremlins. The poison isn't the best status, either. The effects of poison are:
-Healing has no effect or even damages.
-Defence is decreased.
-Attack power is decreased.
Since Catalyzers work like they do, you're usually just taking enemies from max to zero, which means that healing doesn't help vs Catalyzers. The debuffs don't really help either, because the poison is irrelevant. Honestly, I think having no status and extra damage is the most powerful Catalyzer one can have.
4. Acheron.
For a serious answer, it's pretty simple:
GF has curse, DA doesn't. Curse is rare and can't be relied on, though.
DA has a better charge, but you never charge such weapons in LD regardless.
Unreliable curse chance > worthless charge.
Then there's the matter of damage type. There's a lot to think about here. Long story short, experienced people wear good gear and good gear is BKC and something to accompany it to grant Shadow defence so I'll argue that DA is more effective vs good players while GF is better vs your average player. In the end, I'd just go with the one with the best ASI UV, though. I have low on my GF so that's why I use it, for example.
Did you ever think the Kat's tie in your picture looked like a mouth?
