The following are unnoficial Wiki Images made by users to facilitate understanding in "strategic map" images:

General:

= where the mission starts.

Design: usually a knight starts out standing on an elevator grate that's settled into the floor.

= An arsenal station or similar area where knights can change their gear.

= party button. Let's group up and go!

= there's something important here.

This indicates something like a statue, water orb, hidden button(s) in the area, or ghost block etc.

= there's a barrier here that can't be passed through in the other direction.

= this gate is opened with energy.

= a recon module or Commemorative Artifact is here.

Interact with it to read it and/or obtain it.

Helper Entities:

= talk to someone, something, or a group here.

This icon is actually an official icon used in-game, but we have it serve multiple functions for guide images:

When used in a strategic map image, it can mean a group of NPCs who each have something to say, OR just one NPC.

= A combat ally.

This can be an NPC knight that needs rescuing, a turret that's already powered, and so on.

= this spawner generates infinite health.

Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, depends on the spawner and floor.

= something here uses energy to be activated.

This could be a mecha knight or a mecha turret.

Dangerous:

= there's a particularly nasty clockworks hazard here.

This could be a large wall or floor trap that requires more thought than lesser traps.

= party button.

If this button is activated, a fight will begin.

= This area is isolated behind a gate and is very dangerous.

A Danger Room is a good example.

= this spawner generates infinite enemies.

Best to ignore these enemies, make them run away by damaging them significantly, or somehow trap them.

= Surprise! Danger!

Players should be prepared to be trapped here with one or more monsters, and a fight is the only way out.

Sometimes there's not a party button for fights.

= A large nasty monster spawns or waits here. It's almost a miniboss, but not quite. Ready your weapons!

Sometimes these monsters are defeated only under special circumstances.

Example: some Battlepods will self-destruct only when all enemy waves are defeated.

= a boss waits to be fought here.

Loot:

= there's a bunch of Minerals in the area.

= there's a bunch of Treasure Boxes in the area.
