Morlin's cousin Faraday is here for a few weeks, and he wants you help testing his inventions! However, those greedy little gremlins have stolen his materials! As a reward for helping him recover them, he says you can keep the finished products to try out!
The event would work similar to apocrea, wherein players wander around a giant facility crawling with enemies, solving puzzles and killing loot enemies for materials, which they can then use to make the new items added in
The items:
Luminus series, culminating in the Faraday's Pride, as detailed in my other post: https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/122890
Faraday's Rebuttal, an elemental counterpart to the Dark Retribution line
Atomo, a modified battle sprite that looks like an atom. its abilities have a focus on crowd control, including a short-ranged electric spray, a protective shield which shocks any enemies that hit it, and a powerful lightning bolt that chains between enemies. Food would be crafted with Moonstone, and it would be able to wear elemental and shadow harnesses
That is a very nice idea and I believe that adding a new Event would bring more variety and increase the player's joy in the game. Additionally, the Battlesprite idea is good too as it would finally give us a purpose for blue/green minerals.
