The lockdown leaderboards have shown the knights that have played the most that weekend. Why not reward them for their placement on the leaderboard. This would give players a reason to continue playing lockdown even after they have gotten all the recipes as well as bring more players into the scene. The prizes could be energy or other items that would be given out weekly whenever the leaderboards reset. Please consider this!!

While I presume none of the devs or staff aside from the moderators still actively read this section, I still feel obligated to share some input about small changes that I presume would not take much time or resources to put into place. While I also have opinions about changes to weapon balance, enemies, and most of the systems in general, I am keeping this list confined to minor quality of life improvements, not the creation of anything new, which I assume makes them significantly easier.
So, humor me:

• An option to hide battle sprites:

It makes no sense to have to use a weapon before reforging it. The main reason was probably to stop people from gaining Level 10 weapons quickly. With the new heat crystal system, that is no longer a problem.

Instead, make heat be a property tied to the knight instead (think "heat of battle").

• Each knight has a heat bar which naturally depletes over time, but can be recharged using heat gathered while exploring the clockworks (same mechanic as now).

It would be interesting to have the Fang play as a sword from the cutter family.

We need more Battle Sprites, and I am not talking about re-skins. We have the red Drakon, the yellow Seraphynx, and the purple Maskeraith. According to the wiki, only the Seraphynx uses an unknown color pattern, but I am confident it uses one of the Regal (yellow) variety. Besides, it uses Yellow Shards to level up. Anyway, I have a few individual points I want to make about Sprites.

As it is, I feel monster damage types are balanced, but not fully. The way their types of special attack, weaknesses, and resistances are determined is odd in my opinion. Out of all the monsters, Constructs and Beasts are the only ones who are weak to the attack type they use, and resist the other’s attack type.

I propose these be switched such that:
-Beasts inflict and resist Piercing damage, and become weak to Elemental damage, and that
-Constructs inflict and resist Elemental damage, and become weak to Piercing damage.

Shard bombs currently do terrible damage while having really bad area coverage. Nitronome does 230 damage at stratum 6 whereas Deadly Shard Bomb does 99. I understand that the game is on life support but a damage and/or detonation time buff wouldn't be too hard of a change to make, would it? I am sure that GH already got the suggestion to buff shard bombs countless times already but hey, maybe if they see enough of the same suggestion it might go through?

pls buff shard bombs :(

Disclaimer: What I am posting here requires a fair bit of inferences, assumptions, and what some would consider stretches. My brain likes patterns and consistency across game mechanics. I like when things in column “A” each have a corresponding value in column “B”. SK has a few places where “A”’s value has no “B” value to match. After flipping through the SK wiki’s pages and looking for patterns to soothe my particular mind, I have reached a number of conclusions.

Good, let's talk about SK weapons that didn't come out yet, which is the diskgun, they are 2, a static diskgun and fierly diskgun call and they are reskin of mixmaster and Orbitgun.
