Hiya!
The username's Whimsicality, but for simplicity's sake, call me Whimsy. My friends have brought my attention to this game a while ago. I was skeptical at first, and when I found out my computer could hardly run the dang thing, I almost wanted to delete the game and quit. I do not regret continuing in the slightest, as Spiral Knights has cemented itself as one of my favorite games to pick up and play. It's been enough to hold my attention for so long, so I think OOO deserves some credit for making a neat game.
Now, I may be lenient on who I accept friend requests from, but don't think I'm just gonna abandon ship and tend to your whim. I'm here for my friends, and random nobodies who spam requests are not friends of mine.
The name Whimsicality originated from some silly name I had on Skype, relating to the Pokémon Whimsicott, or something. I feel that this name is fairly fitting for how I generally act in this game; I joke around playfully, and I like to do certain tasks in the game spontaneously. (Variety is the spice of life!) I guess you could say I'm very whimsical! Oh God, kill me for that lame joke.
As of the November 2012, I broke my Free-to-Play vow, and caved into the $10 Guardian's Armor Pack. Seeing how I have a decently paying job, dropping $10 every now and again is no big deal.

PvE
Can we have something new already? Something that isn't a collectathon or just flat out tedious?
PvP
Yes, I am a big fan of playing Lockdown. I honestly prefer playing on Tier 2, mainly since I find it most balanced fun.
So what do you use?
- Guardian Shield
- Emberbreak Helm
- Emberbreak Armor
- Frost Gun
- Cold Snap
- Heavy Hatchet
- Prototype Rocket Hammer
Wait, why do you have this?
Generic Set:
- Striker Booster
- Dusker Cap
- Dusker Coat
- Swift Flourish
- Kilowatt Pulsar
- Shockburst Brandish
- Arc Razor
- Tri-Heart Pendant (x2)
Wait, why do you have this? As much as I dislike abiding by any sort of meta, I have found that sometimes it's necessary for me to swallow my pride and carry my team. So here's your basic generic set, but not really. Instead of opting in for a Sealed sword like everybody and their mother, I prefer the speeed of an Arc Razor. The Arc Razor hard counters any slow sword with it's sheer speed and it's erratic swing pattern. I love my Arc Razor. Otherwise, I use my ASI VH Shockburst to whittle someone down, or I juggle someone around with the Flourish.
Recon Set
- Recon Cloak
- Blazebreak Helm
- Dusker Coat
- Shockburst Brandish
- Voltech Alchemer Mk II
- Swift Flourish
- Lightning Capacitor
- Tri-Heart Pendant (x2)
What about this junk?
Being a fast piercing weapon, a toothpick is a pretty basic choice to bring in, and it counters out the recon's slowed down sword attacks. Not to mention, it makes the kills so much quicker and satisfying once the foe's defense is nerfed. Even without a defense nerf, a few strikes from the TSB can bring down foes easily. I typically try to cripple strikers with a shot from my Voltech Alchemer, but Kilowatt Pulsar is a good alternative for creating a distraction to lure enemies away from a base, or stop a bomber from charging his bomb. Shock is also a good status to inflict upon others, as it gives you ample opportunity to strike while they're spasming, and it dishes out extra damage. I have found that Shock removes invincibility frames, making a Striker with ASI an effective health-bar-melting tool. The Dusker Cap and Coat are pretty standard, being some of the best armor you can possibly wear. I wear a Blazebreak helm because it's functional and stylish. Sun Shards are an example of an amazing, yet underused bomb in Lockdown. Not only do they deal Elemental and Piercing, two important damage types, it has multiple purposes. Picking off foes from afar, breaking a recon's cloak, supporting teammates attacking someone, etc. THIS IS OBSOLETE AS THE SUN SHARDS SUCK NOW.
Hammer time!
What the--?!
At times, I will switch in the Stable Rocket Hammer, when I feel the need to whip out my new toys. I tend to go either guardian or striker while wielding the Hammer. Why do I use the Hammer? Well, it's a "slow" sword that hits three times, has a unique dash that can deal damage, and it encourages everyone to be as varied in their gear as possible. One by one, the Duskers all fall! Dark Reprisal is also a good area-of-denial bomb, despite the damage being unnecessarily nerfed to the Core and back. I find that if combined with a Shock bomber, the Dark Reprisal will be pretty dang effective. It also has a short charge time, making it easy to spam and fill up a base with little purple orbs.Hey, Heart Trinkets are easier to get! What are your views on this?
Well, I have a couple of Dual-Hearts myself, and I don't mind switching my Brute Jelly Bands to them if/when someone else happens to have them. It really doesn't make too much of a difference if it takes six hits or three, this game is still a matter of skill. And really, Lockdown, in my eyes, is a giant Arms Race. It helps to be skillful, yes, but you need to keep your gear up to date in order to keep up with everyone else! And, really, other trinkets don't really make much of a difference unless you're in T3.
What about Blast Network?
Once in a blue moon, when the planets align absolutely perfectly, when the derivative of f(x) is the inverse of h(x), when the world is in perfect harmony, I might just play this. I, admittedly, never was good at Bomberman. Just throw in some lag and input delay, and you got the perfect recipe for disaster.
