Hey guys. Believe it or not its me, Wild-Shade, here with a new suggestion. Now my suggestion involves shield bumping, a very useful and sometimes fatal ability, for enemies and other fellow knights. So I suggest adding a new type of shield based off of and sharing the defensive properties of the, Swiftstrike Buckler (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Swiftstrike_Buckler). The only difference is that speed is replaced with a status effect, which has a small chance of being inflicted when shield bumping an enemy. I call it the, (insert random status effect here) bump buckler, and I'm still deciding whether it inflicts a strong version of a status effect or the normal version.
The shields will be in separate lines and will only be three star like the Swiftstrike.
Maybe if the shield takes damage every time you bump, otherwise it would be overpowered even with low defense.
And no curse variant.
