I'm stuck between getting the Sealed Sword or Antigua first. I have a Silient Nightblade lvl 9 and I'm about to make a Strike Needle. Also, which route should I go for both of them? I've been hearing a lot of things about how Divine Avenger is better then Gran Faust because cursing usually only happens if you charge it and it affects you.

Right now i have Wolver Gear, Bristling Buckler, Night Blade, and Striker. I need to know what would be the best to level up first if i want to face the Royal Jelly. Some one said i should level up a sword first. Should i? And if so, should i get a vile striker first or a Silent Nightblade?

Well aparently they can:

I just wanted to know if they're supposed to do that or if it's a glitch.
Your thoughts?

I currently have these 4* stuffs:

heavy demo helm
ash tail coat
vile striker
blizzbrand
fiery atomizer
master blast bomb
mega magnus
stone tortoise

I was wondering about the order in which I should upgrade these... it'll take a while to get these all to 5* and I'd appreciate input on which of these to start on first.

Any suggestions on what I should get on top of these is welcome too ^_^

Hi.

I'm a new player of Spiral Knights.

I'd like to ask your opinions about a doubt i have.

At the moment i have a Solid Cobalt Armor and a Solid Cobalt Helm. At the moment i'm covered from normal and piercing damage, but not elemental and shadow.

Is a a good idea changing the helm with a divine veil? In this way i'll be covered in all 4 types of damage.
Anyway i don't undertand a thing... the value of the damage protection is the sum of the value of the armor and helmet or is it only the higher value of the two?

For example.

Normal def armor 4 - normal def helm 3

I didn't even notice I got it until someone pointed it out after a Vanaduke run xD

Apparently this shield is a rare drop. How rare is it?

What's the best shield for a bomber, and why?

Ever since the Beast/Slime update, these monster families deal Piercing damage. That is to say, Wolvers deal Piercing damage. And the Wild Hunting Blade creates Wolvers that deal...Normal damage.

I think everyone can agree that the Wild Hunting Blade is sub-par compared to the Dread Venom Striker - the STRONG poison to ALL enemies far outweighs the 15% damage bonus against Beasts. In the interest of providing more variety to the game in terms of weapons, it'd seem that the Wild Hunting Blade would benefit by dealing Normal damage on sword strikes, and Piercing damage on Wolver bites.

Any +Fire/+Shock UV on an Owlite doesn't do anything for the shield, right? Since the bar for those status resists are full...? Thanks in advance for an answer. :)

Me and my friend have both started to play SK, I am thinking of getting up to vog cub armor and then getting ancient plate, and getting the fang of vog sword.
(I already have dusker cap and I am about to get the dusker coat)
My friend is going to get up to vog cub and get a good gun.
(He currently has wolver armor and calibur)

2 questions:
Is this a good set up?
What gun should he get?

P.S. Yes, i am very noobish.
