The shadowsun offers poison defense, not penalty, there is also a curse penalty which is not found on the set.
It also gives Damage medium.
The deadshot gives undead med and ASI on guns low.

So I started playing SK again, and there's one thing I'm a bit confused about.
In the game options, there is the "Region" drop-down menu, where you can choose between USA and Europe. What for?
Does it make any difference (as in, will I only see players from the same region or something)?

Also, there's that one thread where players complain about having troubles with the European server. Does that mean there is an EU and a US server?
That might be kinda dumb question, but well... :)

Simple, ask me a question about spiral knights, and I will answer!

I'm not new to this game, but I have a heat question that I have not seen an answer to.

On the wiki it states: Everyone gets every heat ember picked up.

Does this include dead players? If, say, an alt dies on the first monster of a depth, does he get as much heat as the knight that stays alive the entire depth (not counting the 30% that is lost upon revive)? I think the answer is yes, but I don't seem to get much extra heat when I revive said knights.

I'm currently at mission 6-2 Hall of Heroes, with all previous missions completed.
I have no problem soloing the first two stages of the royal jelly palace and the ironclaw munitions factory, but I was wondering which one of those earns you more money.

Search function derped on me trying to find anything.

How does the party finder work? Does it:
a) show you ALL available parties
b) show you all parties that you can ACCESS
c) show only the parties that are relevant to you?

How do I do strikethroughs?

Thanks :3

I want to go to the Shadow Lair, but the keys are so expensive. What is a cheaper way to get one?
