About me

Hello Spiral Knights,

My name is Esmeralde and I'm a gunner specialised in soloing, but for those of you who think I'm a girl have got it all wrong. I think I started playing SK with Esmeralde around September 2011, which is my first and only character. I haven't been in many guild, 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. After that 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 bomb, swords, and eventually guns. 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, IMO 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 gunner gear and a Hail Driver. Because of the missions I hadn't had to go into the clockworks anymore for the Firestorm Citadel and in a short period I had my perfect gear!

This is the set I use when I solo FSC (including Lord Vanaduke), the Shadowsun set plus one Elite Trueshot Module makes me hit everything +6 damage. Blitz Needle for trojans and Lord Vanaduke, Polaris to keep 'em away and Hail Driver to provide freeze and passive damage. 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. }}
