I made a Mix Weapons build last night, what do you guys think? Is it good?
Set:
Armor:
Shadowsun Slicker/Mad Bomber/Skolver
Weapon:
Leviathan/Winmillion/DVS
Valiance
Blast Bomb
Shield:
Swiftstrike Buckler
Stats:
ASI - High (To all 3 weapon types)
Damage Bonus - Very High (To all 3 types)
CTR - Very High (To Bombs) Med (To Swords and Guns)
Striker/Gunner - This type gives you a great DPS and a defense to Gun Pups so your kinda near invincible when your using a Gun and a Sword as for the equipment.
Skolver Set
Leviathan/Winmillion/DVS
Valiance
Swiftstrike Buckler
Mad Bomber/Gunner - This type gives you a wide range of enemies to blast because your Blast gives a payload of damage and also gives you a defense to Gun Pups but watch out for some flying monsters when your planting a bomb!
Mad Bomber Set
Nitronome
Valiance
Swiftstrike Buckler
Gunslinger/Knocker - This type is great for those who like to solo most of the time, because it gives good DPS and some breathing room when your health gets too low.
Shadowsun Slicker Set
Valiance
Leviathan (No DVS or Winmillion)
Swiftstrike Buckler
So tell me what you think guys is good build I made cause so far I have all the 2 star sets and the Gun and Swords plus the Shield...
Tell me what you think! :D
All those loadouts will work, but none is very outstanding, the least bad being the Mad Bomber one.
Why is that ? Because all the weapons are normal damage, which is not that great. See Bopp's guide for more detailed explanation, especially the part about mixing weapon types part : http://wiki.spiralknights.com/User:Jdavis/Swords
Apart from that, most of your weapons don't really have any sort of useful interaction, you just seem to take 3 weapons and force them into loadouts.
A few specific questions, by loadout :
Swordsman one :
- why full Skolver ? What's the point of having full piercing ? You are only going to fight beasts and jellies ?
- why Valiance ? You know most of the targets you'll want to use a gun against are weak or normal to elemental right ? (All gun puppies and lumbers)
- why Swiftstrike ? You are going to get up-close. You'll have to rely on your shield to .... shield. Are you that convinced on your ninja ability to dodge everything ?
Bomber one :
- you don't fear any status ? You know that if you get on fire at any point, you are going to die if you don't have a remedy or lots of hearts ?
- is there any point to Swiftstrike ? You are going to use mainly Nitronome, with Valiance only as a defensive purpose. ASI is useless for bombs, and you loose most of your ability to shield to have some boost on your side-arm. Worth it ?
Gunslinger one :
- Valiance have "good DPS" ? Are you joking ? Do you know that you'll have huge trouble with dodging enemies (wolvers, devilites) using that gun ?
- what's the point of Leviathan ? Do you think that when you are cornered and need some breathing room, enemies will kindly let you enough time to switch weapon and charge it ?
- still the same question on Swiftstrike, though good enough Gunslingers can take Swiftstrike anywhere (personnaly, I won't take it to a danger mission or shadow lair).
