Bombing… It may not be as flashy as swords or as fun as gunning. Despite this, some of the players in the community made a name for themselves using “A little lousy bombing”. Rising from the least used, generally unpopular form of fighting; into some of the most notable members in the game for their skill and prowess in using “A little lousy bombing”.
So share your opinion with the rest of the community; which bomber(s) out there stood out to you the most?
You can base it off any criteria! Capturing points, damage, mobility, etc…
IMO, my list would have to be (In no particular order):
Ezho (Twenty One)
Huntr (The Jempire)
Zeddy (Shard Squad)
Swordofomen (Unity)
Rotten-Tomato (Twenty One)
Njthug (Echo of Silence)
Lentin (Unity)
Fayeth (The Jempire)
Reto-Da-Liz (The Jempire)
Silentfrost (Dark Guardians)
Weedalot (Ominous)
Redhawkone (N/A)
Contri da pony (Twenty One)
Best (Current) LD bombers out there?
I think Zeddy is a great bomber but he misses LD experience imo.
Yeah I wouldn't really put myself so high on such a list. I can hold off inexperienced people very easily using gimmicks they don't know how to counter yet, but once shockwalking 20k damage skolvers and/or people with alchemers enter the scene, I'm pretty useless against them. All I can do is hold off anyone else and hope my team can keep the attention of the opponents who know what they're doing.
Neodasus is pretty good with Shocking Salt Bomb.
No idea... (time to start watching LD instead of trolling in proto!)
Stop lying to yourself, you are a legend in the bomber community xD
As awesome as he is, bombers are rather underpowered in LD. Zeddy is sadly no exception.
I think there's a gent known as Pnusy or something who bombs in T2 LD. He was pretty good, IIRC.
I've heard that Zeddy is a legend when it comes to bombing, but honestly I've never actually seen other bombers aside from myself in LD. As much for demos are underpowered, if they removed blast radii then bombers can compete in terms of damage. They need to fix shard bombs as well so i can snipe people too.
Zeddy used a Dark Briar Barrage when I watched him. It had CTR high... impressive.
Contri el Pony #1 Striker, Bomber, Gunner
Aside from Zeddy, which is a legendary bomber in PvE "still awesome in PvP, but misses the pace", I have few people that will cause you problems while playing against them:
1. Nateblacksmith (Inactive)
2. Narfle (Rarely plays)
3. Late-Night
4. Swordofomen
5. Tohlevi
6. Njthug
7. Pattiaepawe (When she bombs)
Some might shine in a match or two, but that's it pretty much.
Caught Rotten playing GvG (Aeons vs The Jempire) last night, the dude is a monster xD
HUNTR
Hey guys, Rotten-Tomato here! before I get started, I want to say thanks to Zee-For-Zorro for putting me on such a list was well as to congratulate all the others for being such skilled bombers aswell :D
I'll be sharing four links in which I get +10k damage, and as any (Guardian) bomber will tell you, that is not an easy feat xD

As for the match vs The Jempire, I want to thank everyone who participated, my allies, Aeons for being such great team mates as well as being great friends. And I want to thank The Jempire for putting on a great match as well as being truely worthy adversaries :D
Now incase you wonder about my gear:
- Mercurial Demo Helm (UV - Fire Resistance: Medium)
- Mercurial Demo Suit
- Gran Faust
- Voltaic Tempest
- Stagger Storm (UV - Damage Bonus vs Undead: High)
- Dark Briar Barrage (UV - Damage Bonus vs Slime: Low)
- x2 Elite Bomb Focus Module
Yes, I know, I have very doodoo-ish UV's, nonetheless, it goes to show that you don't need good UV's to be a good player =D
I should also note that I always have Auto Target off (I can't afford to have it on, the Spanish Mafia will go after me :3)
IMO, i would say Rotten-Tomato has proven several times that he should be the number one slot for top bombers. Although huntr has soo much fame and hype, he is immune to EVERYTHING which makes him so good. BUT with that said, and again this is only my opinion, huntr has bought his fame and hype. Now this man, Rotten-Tomato, has shown many times, that buying ur way isnt always the best way to be number one. so my vote goes to him. i'd appreciate if u'd not judge me based on my opinion huntr fans out there. thanks
Well i agree with you that tomato is a beastly bomber but i don't think that huntr is THAT hyped up trust me i went toe to toe with this is during my bomber days and he is good at using a side wepon and know when to place hes bombs and where ..... so a 1+ and a 1- .
me cuz i cover more on the map with my striker bomber gunning sword :D so it easy to me to go at point capture 1 to 3 :D Ctr vh stagger-Voltaict FTW!
>.> ..... o......k>.>
:DDDD .... No comment on that xD
hey btw i got also Venom veiler ctr vh :D so i can go with venom - stagger - volataict (ctr vh) on 3 bomb what should i use for weopon 4 acheron asi vh voltedge asi vh or valience asi vh? as striker for sure.
Definitely Acheron! You're really going to want your weapons to be varied in order to be able to play at your most effective :3
I mean no offence but you just reminded me of why LD is so pay to win, Ezho, and having lots of cash is nothing that proves LD skill and I really don't see why one would brag about it here instead of in The Bazaar where money is the game.
For your information i never spend real money on spiral knight,,,,
and who are you again lol?
The point he's trying to get across is that you have equipment that would take days or months to get naturally. Naturally being running the clockworks and not being a merchant. Not a lot of people have Very High equipment nor are most people willing to spend that kind of currency for it. It's called having an unfair advantage over other people because you have things that would take months for everyone else to get. Be it Free-to-Play or not.
My Snarby Set? Unfair, yes.
My ASI Med stuff? Unfair, quite.
It's a perfect example as to why Lockdown really needs pre-made classes. Infact, none of my Status Bombs have anything but Lows on them and I made a striker-bomber class using two CTR Medium Trinkets.
Infact, because of everyone having those specific VHs, you're able to have +12HP along with the Health Perk bug. Allowing Strikers to become a tank. If I did the exact same loadout as any other person with Very Highs, I'd end up with the base HP and no real effective way to survive.
I'd die in 1-2 hits. It'd take two GF swings to kill me.
You die in x4 that amount, it takes 3 GF (6-8 Swings) Combos if not more to kill you.
Pay-To-Win is more of getting something or having something that not a vast-majority of players can ever earn and it's even worse with an unyielding advantage in Player vs Player.
EDIT: I always find it amazing that when brought up with facts, people just say "Who are you"?
The thing is people like krakob say oooh you paid youre uvs with real money just cuz some people have vh weopon or max status. ? when they dont even know me. i never bought elevator pass or uvs i just do alot of Fsc. I got other thing to paid in the life like my house, my car hockey seasons etc.People who put real money on a Free to play are just idiot. i just know my own way to earn crowns easy via the Auction house :D btw im selling mod calibrator via AH at 12 000 cr since 3 weeks 100 ( total of 1 200 000cr) of mine are already sold old and i got 75 more pm me if interessing. Also on Fsc im really fast i can do it on elite solo on like 25 min or less dat means i can get like 24 500 cr in 1 hours. also when new update start i put alot of Stars mats at 25 000cr on Ah and i dont know why people bought it lol Also find an 2x divine Touppee dat i sell for alot. and others cheeps cuz one of teams guild.
^ I have seen narrow minded brag posts like that. "Oh, you guys who pay money are idiots!" "Im the best, I am 13337 elite dragonlord g4m3r and can solo vana in 25 minutes!"
Why can't people actually type something intelligible and not completely a jumbled, idiotic mess like the post above...
:/
"people who put rel money on a F2P are just idiot"
No, I put real money sometimes cause i have a lot of money and I can waste it.
TURN
UP !!!!!!
Chrizmaniac and bulby
I never said you spent real money on SK. It's still pay to win. I really don't have much to say because Glacies already said it.
As for who I am, I'm Krakob, GM of Shadow A D and just another generic swordsman. Who are you?
How dafuq did this turn into an argument? xD
@Zee-For-Zorro:
"How dafuq did this turn into an argument? xD"
You're new here, aren't you?
Wise guy, huh? How about you beat it or I beat you? Choice is yours.
@Krakob im Ezho part of the A team of The Jempire Lockdown team ( dat what rubyeclipse says ) and im the one who start play as 3 hybrid mode as striker ( bomb,guns,sword) Ctr max as striker with bomb stun,poison,shock ftw HIGH5! <(^_^)^ also take an look on rank leaderboard im always there ^^
Cool beans. Let's return to the topic, shall we?
@Krakob:
pls beet mea mAstr
Didn't we confirm that this isn't the real Ehzo?
I sure hope so, because honestly your reasoning is subpar..
Awww, thanks for the shout-out ;) Maybe I should get in the ring more often.
@Feyi-Face
In that case, Ezho's account has been compromised. You need access to the knight and thus have the password to the account to be able to post with it on the forum.
@Dragneel
mAAstr*
That is Ezho. He just tends to act strange when he's had too much coffee.
I love him, but in terms of bombing, he isn't high on the ladder. It's his ability to utilize his many weapons effectively that makes him well-known.
why hasn't Gerelt from Jempire been mentioned? he is extremely skilled
Decided to watch a random game of ld today, which led to me being glued to a whole string of following games because of a bomber by the name of Fayeth, jesus christ l watched him dodge trollaris spam, valiances, dude f**king took on 3-4 guys at once every single match, survived, and even managed to freeze 3 guys at once and kept them frozen for nearly the entire match. Dude's clearly got some op uv's on his bombs and a 4 bar connection but still, thats f**king impressive.
Fayeth is from Australia.
He has 1 bar just cause you can't go below that.
He also doesn't have OP UVs on his bomber set.
Cheers.
All bomber go to lala land when bomber are nerf while the other got buff...especially when all the mad bombers are killed by the chaos buff abominations...only part-timer bomber remains...
Thats impossible l saw him dodge and weave his way through a metric[rust]ton of bullets and brandish charges but if he really is a 1 barer, [rust]...ld wager he would be on par with huntr if he had a 4 bar connection, just goes to show hype and fame does alot for your rep, lve never heard of this Fayeth guy before but [scrap].. hes like a huntr definitely deserves some recognition.
You're kidding, right? Chaos buff is the best thing that happened to bombers since Zeddy started visiting the forums.
Garet bomber with rotten many times and he should e on that list some where
I'd say redhawkone counts. His dodging is insane. Uses a variety of status bombs and weapons. You can't kill him even if he's shocked. I tried polaris on him, still dodged me with the shock and killed me three out of four times. Dangerous bomber to solo lol, especially if you aren't a gunner.
Bump
Don't see the use of a bump. It had been discussed well enough.
Huntr (Jempire)
Guanchi (Aeons)
