Shield bump power

Submitted by Katmint on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 17:28

So yeah, higher * shields bump monsters further, nothing new there. But recently, I've noticed that the Crest of Almire is the only shield I have that can bump Trojans. So it seems there is a hidden shield bump stat on shields.

Has anyone else noticed a shield bump power difference between two shields of the same * level?

UV Rolling

So I'm trying to get some very specific UVs on my gear and I'm wondering what people believe is the best way to go about this? Is it the 1UV ticket? 2 UV ticket? Or try for the 3 UV ticket?

Or should I try to buy it instead?

gun sword bomb question?

Submitted by Moggett on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 13:14

I know you can use a gun with a sword, but when you use two swords, do you wield them at the same time? If you have two guns, do you wield them at the same time? What about bombs? If you have a bomb and a gun, do you switch between them like swords & guns?

I'm a newb and don't wanna spend my money on all them and find out you can't. :D Thanks.

Did the Pulsar series ruin gun balance?

Submitted by Alchemystic on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 09:57

Since everyone seems to have jumped on the Pulsar bandwagon, I began to question on how they affect gun balance. From what I can see, this gun doesn't have any actual weakness but has benefits that go above and beyond the intended design.

Normal Damage bugged? Using Boltbrand and Grintovec

Submitted by Jeminai on Fri, 09/09/2011 - 21:45

The Arsenal

Tonight I was playing Spiral Knights in Tier 2 and noticed when I attacked Beasts and Gremlins (both strongly resistant to Elemental) with my Boltbrand (a little more than 6 bars shown of elemental and normal damage) the numbers of my attack showed as gray (resistant to damage type) and did about 55 damage. When I attacked the same creatures using my Grintovec (updated Troika, 3 and a half bars shown normal damage) the attack appeared blue (average resistant) and did between 62 and I believe 83 damage. From the guide on damage type it says "Attacks may have a dual damage type.
