just as the title says, i think that sprites could be better. when you obtain 4 star gear your sprite starts to become useless because it is hard to level them up to 50. i think they should at least make pets easier to level up as fast as the knights move through missions. now on to the point, i noticed 3 slots in the sprite menu, and i suggest they should use them to connect the pets powers to the knight and make them seem more useful.

on slot #1: i think they should make a evolution module, something to control how the pet evolves. for example when you equip it to a drakon with meteoric firebolt it could lower the power but drastically decrease the charge time from 13 sec. to 5 sec. and it will make the horns more curved instead of longer and straight. and the other option would be to add a vortex right before it explodes that would suck in monsters before it explodes and it would give a curled up horn shape and appearance.

and say for the second skill on backfire barrier you could choose between a skill that gives off a powerful knock back effect to the orbs so that you could escape tight spaces easily and your drakon will have a longer tail with a fin at the end. or you could choose a very high power boost that lasts as long as the speed boost so you could rush in for the kill on certain enemys and it will give a long tail with spikes.

i think this would be highly usefull because to me i think that the sprites skills are usefull but could be better. also alot of people dont like how the ultimates look and i see alot of people have the same skills because the alternative is worse in some ways. i know the devs wanted to make sprites unique to each player and this could definitely change things up.

on slot #2: i think it should be called "knight linking" basically as the name says you could choose between diffrent perks that connect you to your pet for example a perk that would give you half health back when your almost dead or a perk that leaves you with one bar when your struck with a fatal blow. in return you have to wait 99 sec. to do anything with your pet.

but the biggest part of this slot to me would be a power linking, for example a percentage like 5% of the damage you do gets add up and is stacked on top of your pets power, say your in the middle of a battle and you collected 1500 points (max) of the damage you dealt and you launch a meteoric firebolt and it deals a total of 1725 damage. the downside is you loose your stack and have to collect again but you build up the power in your pet to unleash in battle later.

on slot #3: nothing too special this time just a perk slot upgrade for your pet ex, power upgrades or charge time reduction.

tell me if you like or hate any of the ideas i suggested im ok with either. i just wanted to ask people what they think of this idea and how it could be beneficial or terrible to spiral knights.

EDIT> if you can read this im sorry about spamming you with a wave of text my bad.
