But that's not a whole new species ._.

Fine, do you prefer Gobblesnipes or Haven Snipes?

Pretty sure Hyperion falls under the latter, so I'll say Haven Snipes also this.

Your polaris can't get its way around me, Krabob. I mean, I have NEVER even seen you in LD before. I have seen your battle strategies on vids, and well, too PREDICTABLE. I think I'll just shock you and you will just die.

Erm, you do realise that my latest T3 LD videos were back in June, right? That's half a year. I can assure you, I've improved a lot since.

Do you prefer Mewkats or other species of Spookats?

When you fought Margrel, what thoughts were in your mind?

Do you prefer a cheeseburger or a nicely roasted shish kebab?

Mewkats are best kats.

"Oh crap there's a homing bullet oh crap there's a Black Kat charging at me oh crap I have to shoot that slag it's gonna curse me oh crap I was already cursed oh crap I'm dead."

Kebab contains no lactose so I'll go with kebab.

I think the better question is, "Why can't you shield bump stuff as a Guardian?"

How long did it take you to realize that the GM's names are all based off Greek legends or weather?

That's more or less what I meant, except I wasn't sure if you can shield bump or not as guardian. Don't know if I've ever met a Rock Slime while playing gaurdian as I simply don't play it much.

I don't know when I figured that out but I don't think I realised it as much as I just read it somewhere.

scenario question

Scenario: You are in a mission that is above your rank yet you have the right weapons. Next thing you know you and 1 gunslinger and 1 guardian end up in the center of 12 gun-puppies. Notice: You only have 2 swords and they fill your only weapon slots. To kill all of them with swords you have to kill them 1 at a time to gain access to the others. Question: Do you hope and pray the guardian defends you while the gunslinger kills them? Or do you kill the gun-puppies hoping and praying you don't die?

As I understand it, they're in a circle around us? I'd use my dash to hop through any bullets if necessary to head out to the edge and then I'd rely on interrupting them and turning them outwards to make it easier for my teammates who might sitll be in the center and for myself, as less bullets will be directed towards me since I'm not in the center. Any bullets would naturally have to be dodged and that's not too hard if the room is big enough.

@Krabob

You are in a circle but if you go to a specific area where a gun-puppie you become its main target. Therefore you put yourself in danger. And remember you not a person fit for this rank. Even your shield isn't fit for this mission. Just your weapons. So in summary I think that would be a bad idea. Just saying. But that was a good answer and it is a quite tight circle.

Being outside of the circle is still better than being within it. My shield doesn't matter much as even Swiftstrike can take a bullet in Elite S6 and with the right weaposn, I have interruption so it's not too bothersome.

DO NOT: Post personal attacks, or anything intended to insult or belittle another person (this includes both players AND staff members).
Use foul, abusive, or offensive language. If a swear word is filtered in-game in Spiral Knights, do not use it on the Spiral Knights forums.

@Killingsand
Proto Shield. As for the sword, it's a tough question. Probably DVS, although there are plenty that are fun to use. Like Winmillion! DVS probably wins just because it was my first, really.

@Tiraid
Winmillion.
Re: PS: That sounds rather solid, but AP won't get you far in FSC. May I suggest you grab something like a Strike Needle? It's very useful for Vanaduke himself. Also consider a Combuster, or its 4* variant. Don't forget that heating 5* items is currently impossible. Heat doesn't affect defensive gear much, though. I recommend upgrading everything but the AP, any potential Blazebrand, and Strike Needle. Due to Acheron's recent buff, it gets more powerful than its 4* variant earlier and if you're going to use your Radiants for anything, Acheron is a good choice.
Re: PPPS: I prefer my turtles very much alive.

How much corn do you think a Gobblesnipe could eat before becoming fatter than a fat piece of fat?

What is your favorite color?

Peanut butter with or without jelly?

Taco or burrito?

Turtles or tortoises or tortodrones?

Now that Frenzied Firestorm has been nerfed (5 seconds max boost now, I believe it used to be 8), is Explosive now the more viable choice?

How do you feel about Drakons having beards?

@Killingsand
I like playing with Demos. They keep the crowds at bay while you can deal with key targets. Alternatively, their bombs can help position enemies or keep them vulnerable. Combos such as Vortexes+Brandishes or Stun vs Mechas and Crusaders are insane.

@Sandwich Potato
I wouldn't say the small buff from Frenzied was very worthwhile even with eight seconds. Of course, it's a lot more useful in groups as it affects everyone. I'm not too familiar with Explosive to judge which is the better, though. No matter, I'm sure it has potential when launched in crowds.

As a Swede and a metalhead, I approve of beards.

In PvE, a striker travels at usual Spiral Knight speed.
In PvP, a striker travels at a bazillion km/h when dashing.

@Flamecharizard (#485)
No, it wasn't. 1v1s to death just aren't for bombers and I won because that was the case. Zeddy played better than me, I'd say. I just stayed away and gunned away.

Utility. If I'd gone for looks, I wouldn't have taken Seraphynx past level 50 at all.
