Okay, okay I'll admit it. Spiral Knights is not the perfect game. Some items are particularly better than others (What do you expect, it's an MMO) and PvP is unbalanced (Not that it could ever be balanced). There are some cool weapon and monster mechanics though, and statuses like curse and poison are actually more or less unique to Spiral Knights. But everything is SO, FREAKIN' OLD! There hasn't been an entirely unique, fresh mechanic in ages! Well, alright the Apocrean Harvester has no alike counterpart in SK, but what about the players? And in general the monsters? And what about Shadow Damage? It is utterly useless in the endgame! Everything is elemental this, elemental that, hint of piercing here. Maybe add some sort of gremlin boss to Tier 3, I don't know...

But I do know about Statuses and Mechanics!

Toxic Waste - Tiles found in Compound 42 which poison you, and slow you down when you walk through them. Found in Tiers 2-3.

Cursed Steps - Tiles found in Legion of Almire which curse you when you walk through them. Found in Tier 3.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Irontech Disassembler - Mechs operated by gremlins which have an Arm-Mounted version of "The Irontech Waster", lacking the fire and damage bonus, as well as having one blade in the charge attack, and only using the charge attack. Found in Tier 3 only. Small chance of dropping an 'Irontech Waster.'
