Watch the Spiral Knights launch trailer. At the end of the video, at around 55 seconds, while Vanaduke is on fire, there is a knight stading in front of him wielding a ban stick.

Discuss!

the guys in the videos are most probably the devs. so they have a ban stick.
also, in the first stages of the game, devs played along with the community.

i'll just drop this here, in case anyone's interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qouKX5NXaM8
btw, if you look at the guy in the chaos set, you'll see he has the 5* shock troika.
so, yeah, they're devs.
also, its funny to see some of the old stuff like that shield with a lock, and that zombie head helmet, in this video.
AND the quicksilver helm ,that was implemented way later.

and...

In the video, Vanaduke roars. Sounds like an old man but nevertheless, he used to roar.

And there also used to be Vog Cubs, and Ironwood Sentinels, and Slooms/Sloombargos, and Jelly Green Giants, and Jaws of Megalodon armor, and Tortodrones.

Anyways you just see a model.
A ban stick prepared for player use wouldn't be much different from a calibur or a troika.

Yeah, it's the damage bonus vs everything ∞ on the GM armor.

like that shield with a lock, and that zombie head helmet, in this video.

It's called a Shining Ward, and the zombie head helmet was the Skelly Helm's placeholder model.

How many years until we get a new trailer? So much content of that video is irrelevant or obsolete.
