I can get through the RJ palace fine with pretty much whatever gear I've got on me, but when it comes to battling the RJ himself (yeah, yeah, not worth it. I'm farming for sealed swords, cut me some slack) I'm coming up a bit short.

I've already got a silent nightblade, which seems to be the popular choice for DPS, but when it comes to a secondary weapon I'm not sure which way to go. I'm cooking up a virulisk set, so there's no particular preference between swords or bombs. (well, that's not entirely true, I'm using a dark thorn shield so I get a sword buff from that)

What do you think the best looking mixed set is? I just did this yesterday, and I think it looks awesome:

Spiral knights is blessed with a wealth swords, guns, bombs, helms, armors, shields and trinkets for us to play with. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them are pretty bad! I am interested in figuring out a definitive list of equipment that is the Best In The Game, and am interested in what you guys think.

I understand that our definitions of what is "best" can vary wildly. the best definition I can come up with is as follows:

I have heard lots about people using the autogun needle lines for FSC, and so I was wondering if I should use an Argent Peacemaker or a Blitz Needle.
I am a swordie/gunner and I usually carry a sword and a gun into the Clockworks. Here are a few things I have been condisering:
Damage: AP has split damage, and less compared to the Blitz Needle; however, the elemental damage would deal extra (but not sure how much extra) damage to undeads, which FSC has a lot of.

So i have a cobalt helm, cobalt armor,owlet shield and sword calibur, handgun autogun.

i was wondering what items i should choose next? i need 4star items. Can you guys can sugest me some stuff?
thanks in advance.
P.S. Should i invest in crystal energy or just save crowns?

According to wiki lumber does elemental damage. Plus he splits stun effect. I have Wise Owlite Shield that has elemental defence and UV stun med. So why lumber breakes my shield with 2nd hit? And he does damage + stun at same time he breakes shield... That annoys me. What shield would be better vs that bastard?

Hi if i have a calibur with very high asi UV and and a swiftstrike shield which is Very high atk speed will that make my asi maximum? im not sure how it works.

helllo. i dont know which weapon should i use . atm i use avenger . i need second wep. idk should i go bomb or gun for t3. atm i got money to make only 1 4* . if i go for bomb i wanna master balster bomb and later nitronome. if i go for gun i wanna gigawat pulsar and later polaris . i love em both . the bomb is good cyz it has good speed awesome knockback and good dmg . if i get the polaris it ll hit only 1-2 mobs instead of almost all mobs in the map like the nitronome .

right now i am thinking of these

volcanic demo suit
mad bomber mask
shivermist buster
nitronome
dark briar barrage

are this a gud set up
and should i keep Radiant Sun Shards in my list even though its 4*??

and a ctr med 5* triket

Alright, so few things here.
First off, I've made some decent kit the past couple days that's turned out to have UV's on it.

One is a plateshield with an elem medium, I'm wondering if I should keep it or sell it (and for how much?), since I already use a 4* defender normal def low.

Next is a 4* graviton bomb, which I found (shock horror) in a GREEN treasure box yesterday.

Given the cost of CE, I was considering keeping it and using it over selling it, but I don't know really, it wouldn't net that much CE at the moment.
