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. At first I tried out different ways of battling, mostly I used bombs and swords, but I didn't had a good strategy. So I started using guns and I liked it. 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 another set: Wolver. 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 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. 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!

Shadowsun Setston, costume: Deadshot Chapeau with a Military Game Face & Mech'Tennas

Shadowsun Mantle, costume: Deadshot Mantle

Crest of Almire

Elite Trueshot Module

Penta-Heart Pendant

Hail Driver

Blitz Needle

Polaris

But now I a good gunner set I want to be a good melee set also:

Snarbolax Cap, costume: Firebreak Helm

Snarbolax Coat

Barbarous Thorn Shield (not yet, it's now a Crest of Almire)

Elite Quick Strike Module

Elite Sword Focus Module (not yet, it's now a Penta-Heart Pendant)

Gran Faust

Final Flourish (not yet, it's now a Grand Flourish)

Glacius (not yet, it's now a Iceburst Brandish)

Then I got to meet Arcknightdelta who was recruiting new people for his guild: "Order of Valor". I decided to leave "Zhraco Knights" and join his guild, since "Zhraco Knights" wasn't active and "close" anymore. In the guild I got promoted to member instantly, veteran after two weeks and since one April 25th I'm one of the two loyal officiers.

Polaris

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.

PvE Snarbolax

Snarbolax Cap Increased Normal Defense: Low

Penta-Heart Pedant

Gran Faust

Grand Flourish Attack Speed Increased: Low

When I made my Barbarous Thorn Shield, Elite Sword Focus Module and upgraded my weapons to 5* this set will provide +6 damage on everything plus +4 ASI/+4 CTR on Gran Faust, +5 ASI/+4 CTR on Final Flourish and +4 ASI/+5 CTR on Glacius which will make it even more devastating! When I got the chance I'm getting a ASI medium GF, ASI medium FF and CTR medium Glacius for being even more powerfull.
