And so I went out to make some money (and friends) and made myself a proper gunner set. Then one day a random guy invited me to join his guild: "Order of Valor". I can't tell you why, but I left "Zhraco Knights" and joined his guild. I had a good time there, but gaming took so much time I decided to quit playing for a while. After a few months I wanted to play again, but since the guild had become extinct and all the people I knew were gone, I never had the urge to play Spiral Knights again. I decided to play World of Warcraft, which I did for four and a half months. School was starting again, so I let the game time expire, but then one day I logged on, on Spiral Knights and the good old friend Arcknightdelta was online, the founder of Order of Valor. Since that day, everyone returned to the game. I couldn't be happier! At the moment, a friend at school is also playing WoW and he tries to get me online there too. I'm going to switch again......

'''Some time has passed and I didn't had any joy in playing Spiral Knights anymore. Around mid May I decided to quit Spiral Knights and I started to play World of Warcraft again with a college officer. Since he was out of money he couldn't be playing World of Warcraft so the time I played it have been quite boring.  School started again so I let my play time expire, though even Spiral Knights was free to play I never wanted to start playing again. Every time I started it to see who has been online or whether there has been an update of the game it felt painful to be online any longer. It did somehow hurt me [[File:GuildLogo-Order of Valor.png|200px|right]] all of my contacts in the game .... were gone!

Penta-Heart Pendant is used for some extra hit points which is handy when fighting Lord Vanaduke since my shadow defense won't help me in the Throne Room.

When I got the chance I'm getting a ASI medium GF, ASI medium FF and CTR medium Glacius for being even more powerfull.

Argent Peacemaker, the biggest gun known with six shots in succession, I like it. Just pulling it out for the looks and shooting crates is why I made it. Hail Driver to freeze zombies and Lord Vanaduke to the ground while dealing good damage, same as Blitz. Polaris just shoot 'em back.

I use this set for T3 Lockdown, mostly I'm using the Guardian Shield because with that I have no need to run since they are coming to me so that I can easily hit them with my Gran Fuast. I rarely use the Strike Booster, but when I do i use Gran Faust and Final Flourish 50% each. When fully healed and protecting a base I use my Polaris for shocking so that they are shocked for a sec so that I can hit them.

About me

Hello Spiral Knights,


My name is Esmeralde, but for those of you who think I'm a girl have got it all wrong. Around November 2011 I started playing SK with Esmeralde, which is my first and only character. At first I tried out different ways of battling, mostly I used bombs and swords, but I didn't had a good strategy. Just like any noob doesn't. After a while I started using guns which I really liked. I haven't been in many guilds, but soon after I started I joined "Starship Troopers", they helped me get familiar with the game so I would soon be out on my own. During the time I was in "Starship Troopers" I made myself a Wolver set for some competition in T2 PvP. During that period I joined "Lockdown Legends", which merged with "Lockdown Loons" into "Lockdown Loons". We were very active, but only on PvP and I got tired of that. I decided to leave "Lockdown Loons" and find my own way of fighting except for using Dusker, Swift Flourish + Nightblade and trinkets. So I started using bombs and swords again, but still I couldn't let the guns be unarmed. Since I was travelling in the clockworks mostly alone I decided swords wouldn't be so great in there. Bombs were out as well since I didn't wanted to wait for the charge, in my opinion bombs are too slow for killing. Guns it was! In that time I joined a friend his guild: "Zhraco Knights" and I got to know a lot more people I like to play SK with. And so I went out to make some money (and friends) and made myself a proper gunner set. Then one day a random guy invited me to join his guild: "Order of Valor". I can't tell you why, but I left "Zhraco Knights" and joined his guild. I had a good time there, but gaming took so much time I decided to quit playing for a while. After a few months I wanted to play again, but since the guild had become extinct and all the people I knew were gone, I never had the urge to play Spiral Knights again. I decided to play World of Warcraft, which I did for four and a half months. School was starting again, so I let the game time expire, but then one day I logged on, on Spiral Knights and the good old friend Arcknightdelta was online, the founder of Order of Valor. Since that day, everyone returned to the game. I couldn't be happier! At the moment, a friend at school is also playing WoW and he tries to get me online there too. I'm going to switch again......
