From SpiralKnights
Zenphyre is an unknown player that mysteriously appeared during the open release of Spiral Knights and has come from the land where gamers prosper. He adventures daily and has a few lunch breaks in between Depth 23 and he battles enemies mercilessly with incredible killing intent. Without his cookies, Zenphyre destroys everything in his path and what makes him kind of unique to only himself: HE WORKS ALONE MWAHAHAHA
WOOT 4 YEARS OF PLAYING SPIRAL KNIGHTS FROM APRIL 2011 TO 2015 :D!!!!!
Edit: .... (ominous silence) ..... (footsteps being heard approaching)
Huh, feels weird looking around here again after almost a year lol. Everything's so dusty! Anyway it has come to my attention that even though I am still pursuing my career goals and opportunities along with still being in the internship since it's a year long, I was recently given plenty of free time though the work I've done was very tedious and exciting. I am happy to say that I will be returning back because after thinking about it once I got more time out of my work, I noticed that what I am doing wasn't 100% me. I need time to play something and not focus too much on something that I will achieve but won't have much fun without something else keeping that fun in. Some people on forums and outside who play the game convinced me and even though the game is a lot different from back then, I don't mind coming back in and seeing what's different besides the no update era yet lol. Other than that I am back baby! >:D

Uhhhh Hi

Zenphyre came into Spiral Knights one day on a Saturday in the second week of the month on the holiday before the other one that came after and became interested after seeing what he had to face off first...the dreaded JELLIES! The creator, or "God" of Zenphyre was bored and surfed the internet looking for any MMORPG or anything related after his retirement from playing WoW when Cata came out. In his journey on finding a replacement, the God gave up and decided to look at DeviantArt in the anime section of the website. Looking at a few awesome Bleach pictures, he stumbled upon an ad with an anime robot on it and a large planet behind it. The first thing he did was, you guessed it, went to take a bathroom break, ate waffles, then came back and clicked on it a second before it switched to a toilet paper ad. Seeing the Spiral Knights main page come up, he encountered a name creator and typed in Drario after the one he created in WoW being his lvl 80 protection/retribution paladin. However, he was stunned with extreme horror that the name was taken, but being calm, he went to the fridge and got orange juice and began thinking of a random name. After a few minutes of pacing back and forth, he said, "Eh what the heck, I'll go with something starting with a Z", and he randomly chose something that started with a Z and dun dun, Zenphyre came into the world.
The first week of playing was interesting for him, going through Tier 1 with ease and being able to solo on the 2nd day of his commence on the game. Zenphyre, after having his Protogear set all the way to lvl 10, used the many crowns he has and bought his very first sword, the Fireburst Brandish. The first day using this weapon amazed him on how much damage it was able to deal and immediately fell in love with the sword. After having it to lvl 10 he bought his first armor, being the Wolver Cap and Wolver Coat, which added extra damage to his sword. He then picked a Pepperbox for his first gun and was impressed by the rapid fire it gave and the damage it dealt. After upgrading his gear to 3* on the second week, he began Tier 2 with a few groups to settle in with what he will be dealing with in there, and faced off against the Jelly King, a menace that he found in his 2nd group run and managed to kill him on his first try. After a few successful runs in Tier 2 and the Royal Jelly Palace, he was able to solo Tier 2 with no problems at all. The third week he had his gear upgraded to 4* and believed that he was ready to take on Tier 3, and went on a random T3 group and was amazed on how challenging it was and began doing runs in there having the fun of slicing and dicing the hardest enemies all while watching anime and listening to rock music.
A month and a half passed, his gear at 5* by the first week of the second month, having a Vog Cub Cap and Vog Cub Coat, his very first sword all grown up Combuster, and his very first gun Volcanic Pepperbox. He was able to devastate anything in his path and has little to no difficulty encountering challenging enemies. However, his greatest challenge was still awaiting: facing Lord Vanaduke. Zenphyre started to know about Firestorm Citadel that was referred by some weird hobo that he talked to when he sat near the fountain and the hobo said, "Oh Zen, FSC is where the experienced and skilled always go and I don't know if your up to the task." But Zenphyre countered, "Eh whatever, I'll give it a try." and Zenphyre gave him a cookie and the hobo was happy.
Zenphyre then past the first 2 weeks before going into FSC in intense training and gaining new weapons that will help him in his journey, having a new favorite sword which almost replaced his Combuster but still did, the Leviathan Blade, then with many JK runs and gaining many Jelly Gem, he created his strongest offensive, the fearless Divine Avenger and his sidekick, the Argent Peacemaker. He then decided on a bomb and the hobo, being as wise as any hobo, told him of the Shivermist Buster and in time Zenphyre has acquired the bomb with ease. Doing intense training and running as many T3 runs as he can, he finally lvled all of his gear to 10 and prepared his first encounter with the Duke.
The journey through FSC his first try was challenging and scary but not knowing of the fallen kingdom yet, he went in with a group who knew of the place and were nice to tell him about it. Going through the devastating wheels that come at Zenphyre in Blackstone Bridge, then his brave rescue for the small creatures in Charred Court, going through the many Slag Walker that appeared in Ashen Armory (that became his favorite depth), and finally going up the Shadow Fire -infested stairs of Smoldering Steps, Zenphyre and his group arrived at the Throne Room. The battle commenced between Zenphyre and Lord Vanaduke, being a fierce one with debris falling from the ceiling and the Duke charging at Zenphyre with blinding speed, but Zenphyre, being quick and agile as he was, dodge the devastating attacks the Duke threw at him. The group supported him all the way, using their Blitz Needle at the Duke while Zenphyre tanked the Duke and one of the other teammates of his group used his own Shivermist Buster. Ten minutes into the battle, the Duke has reached Phase 5 and has become more destructive than ever, Shadow Fire covering the floors and now being able to throw fire across the room, but Zenphyre and the group didn't gave up and after five to seven minutes in Phase 5 being a gun battle, they took down the Duke and Zenphyre was amazed on how he took him down on his first try. He had fun and was happy that he conquered the Firestorm Citadel and made his yet another trip down The Core where more challenges might await...
As of today, Zenphyre ventures down the Clockworks now doing pure solo runs since his first adventure in Firestorm Citadel and has been doing solo runs ever since. However, since the release of Danger Missions and becoming bored of soloing, he does a few PUG's every now and then but maintains his usual habit of soloing Danger Missions and the usual King of Ashes mission. He mostly does Vanaduke solo runs and has a lot of fun facing the Duke and would laugh if he dies once from debris or shadow fire being misplaced but he loves challenges. Up to today, Zenphyre can't wait for what the Core might have in store for him and if the mysterious King Tinkinzar, the king of the gremlins might appear in the Core and that Zenphyre is pumped up to face him and his dreaded Crimson Order.
What does he mean there's more?!
As what was said, yes there's more. Zenphyre is much of a loner and tends to hang out either near one of the Strangers, sit in front of the fountain, or be in the Snipe Garden sitting near the Gun Puppy Statue that wants to eat him. Zenphyre is also pretty quiet, never talking much around people and they also do the same to just leave him there. His main priority to sitting by the fountains is to listen to any arguments that might erupt from anyone or hear interesting conversations about how someone passed the potato instead of the ketchup. His signature seat is by the left side of the fountain at the corner but sometimes a person might sit there so he goes to his second signature seat which is the right side of the fountain at the corner. Whenever he's bored, he hangs out where he usually sits and he mostly sits by the fountain, and when he really doesn't want to be noticed, he goes to the Snipe Garden, or if he's crazy and wants someone to talk to, he hangs out with the Strangers. Zenphyre is sometimes approached by a few people who are amazed by his 5* gear and would often say, "Hello" or "What's up Zen" or "Want fries with that shake?" and such, but being the quiet loner he is, he would either ignore them or just move the opposite of them. It's not because they might get annoying to him but because they will be annoying to him. When approached with a random trade window from a person he doesn't know, he will immediately close it, offer a Gel Drop, or hide it so the person won't have to insta-trade with him. Zenphyre at times if he is that bored and no conversation happens and a person walks up to him, he would begin a small conversation with the person and would make him/her laugh while still avoiding attention that others around him might notice. Zenphyre is a nice person but is mostly alone so if you see Zenphyre sitting near the fountain or stalk him inside the Snipe Garden or interrupt his conversations with the Strangers, feel free to attempt to talk to Zenphyre and if he's pretty bored and has nothing to entertain himself, he might start a talk with you, but make sure you bring a cookie just in case.
-Le Gasp- No Guild?
If you try to invite Zenphyre into one, he will ask you in the most kindest voice that one space alien will fall and find the all powerful bagel with cream and ride a fish to Africa, No. Zenphyre does not join any guilds end of story. He strives to continue being guildless and will get many guild invites while happily pressing decline on all of them :D. Even if you beg or cry or give him a million CE, he won't join one. The top guilds tried to invite him but he turned them down, eventually seeing them fall after he came back four months after he quit. Zenphyre works alone with no help (besides Nekoloko and Kingerly) and will do it with no guild backing him up. Even with the guild hall update coming soon. Zenphyre isn't excited about viewing what it will be like and will only be busy running Vanaducky or watching from the stairs he sits on towards arguments. Anyone sending him a guild invite, prepare to meet the terrible decline of it and no matter how much you beg or cry, Zenphyre always says no. Go ahead and try, Zenphyre's mind is made up and will not take very kindly to spammers, he has the ignore function which is his ultimate weapon. If you give him a cookie or bacon, he will accept the offer but he will never join your guild. Good day sirs and mada'ams.
Como se mira
Zenphyre in the first two months of playing Spiral Knights, his attire consisted of his Vog Set, Combuster, Heater Shield (forgot to mention my first shield), and Volcanic Pepperbox. He went on using these when he was informed about Firestorm Citadel from the cookie-loving hobo and soon his added attire was his DA, AP which replaced his Volcanic Pepperbox (it will be missed), and Shivermist Buster. He went with this attire for about a month with the added gear but then when the update came to making the enemies more dangerous, he noticed that the Jellies and Wolvers will now deal piercing damage, which terrified Zenphyre (not really). He then went to work on another armor set in which he bought another Wolver set only when upgrading it did it become Vog Cub's nicer and shinier brother, Skolver which includes his Skolver Cap and Skolver Coat and not only did he need piercing defense for just his armor, he began lvling another shield which eventually became Aegis. Oh, forgot to mention, Zenphyre when he did a few runs in Tier 3, decided to make another shield which is stronger than his Heater Shield and before was god tier, and upgrading it, it became his signature shield: Grey Owlite Shield. Skolver eventually became his costume with Vog underneath and his Grey Owlite on his back which showed his shininess to the world and attracted those who were hypnotized by the light.
When the summer came and the fireworks have come and past two days later, Zenphyre noticed that there were too many Vog Cubs around and noticed an increase in the Skolver migration. He felt that he would also be common and to prevent that, he got to work on another armor set, but it took him a while and two cookie breaks to decide on another set and eventually, an angel with a halo and wings came down from heaven and immediately did he get the idea on making the set. He got to work and in two weeks of FSC runs and much heat acquired, his set was complete, being Divine Veil and Divine Mantle. When the Roarmulus Twins were released to the public, he noticed the two new guns and went along with getting the Pulsar. Leveling his gun up, it became his new favorite gun that replaced his AP but not entirely, Polaris.
As the Shadow Lair update came along, he was upset of how much the Shadow Key was and boycotted against the new depths for most of his time but giving into the challenge that awaited him, Zenphyre took the chance and gave it a try. He took down the Rabid Snarbolax with random party members with one of them having a key and in a few short runs with other people he obtained Snarbolax Cap and Snarbolax Coat. A few days after that he also defeated the Ice Queen, Red Roarmulus Twins and eventually it took him many tries to take down Darkfire Vanaduke until he was defeated. His attire mostly is seen with him wearing the First Generation White Rose Regalia set, consisting of a Prismatic Wolver Tail, Prismatic Glow Eyes, Prismatic Wings and Parrying Blade, and Twilight Aura along with Grey Owlite Shield.
Red Rose Regalia: Rise of Untamed Power
Upon his entering of SK in April 2011 two weeks after public release during Waffle Tuesday and after the outbreak of flies in the jungle that fed baby platy-pi, Zenphyre worked his way up to making a Vog Cub set and Skolver set in order to have the best gear he can find. However, somewhere in the eternal abyss of his costume section (over 100+ costumes), a great power lays dormant in which it has another two of its kind, but has quickly taken them down easily to be the one true set worthy of being shown to the virtual SK world, hibernating from even Zenphyre himself who has received this set during the time of distribution. The event which lasted more than a week gave it time for it to collect immense energy needed for in three years and two taco lunch breaks, it can be released and display its raw power to Zenphyre and the local hobos around it. From that day of stardom it has hidden itself within the depths of his costume section and gained power every passing day, having eliminated the White and Black Rose sets within his inventory, and from that moment on, the Red Rose set will appear to unleash his true form.
From the start of his life in SK, Zenphyre has collected and used many sets to which interested him, but has not interested him in the form that will remain on him for more than five months and two bathroom breaks. Even his Vog and Skolver sets didn't interest him as a form as many others have the same set and he will only be seen as a commoner who looks like others showing the set and eating soup with a fork and no napkin. Weeks and months passed and Zenphyre has collected even more sets to accommodate with, but they still have no revealed his true form which interests him due to the commodity of the sets and how even with accessories do not provide the display needed to create his own image. From that point on, the Red Rose set began to make its ascension known in which like The Ring movie (great movie :D), it began to crawl out the well with red lightning appearing out of the well, and growing and growing every passing second that the set ascends, and soon its revelation had caused a scream to be heard in the darkness....
The day of its revelation took place when Zenphyre himself is scrolling through his sets to find one suitable for his extension of time wearing it. Passing through his helmet and armor sections, none within them did any good and Zenphyre was about to give up. However, upon scrolling through his costume section and seeing the White Rose set he has, he had came to the conclusion upon wearing it, but further inspection shows that it has been killed in battle and didn't match very well with the toast he was eating, so it was out of the picture. Scrolling down more, he saw a flash of red strike his and immediately has foreseen his very old Red Rose set. Intrigued by its color and that it wasn't killed (the set killed the White Rose set D:), he equipped it and soon he was very interested in not wearing it for a while that he realized that this set will create the milestone for him needed to display his true form (and that most people either don't have it or show it :D).
Throughout his time wearing the set, it has begun to grow in power and evolution began when Zenphyre noticed Prismatic Valkyrie Wings appearing along with a Prismatic Wolver Tail forming on the back of the set. Liking the combination, Zenphyre has done many runs with it and was impressed by the swiftness and speed he was able to achieve through sitting down on the desk and and doing real life morning runs in the morning before yesterday's morning two months after the morning of fresh orange juice. Over time, Zenphyre's eyes began to glow more vibrant and and defined as he noticed the set has evolved Prismatic Glow Eyes, allowing for himself to become a portable flash light and giving him night vision like a flashlight with batteries in them. More time passed, and his Prismatic Valkyrie Wings has started to change shape, becoming more defined and losing its ability to flap along with looking more streamlined, Zenphyre noticed that the wings have become more shorter and static and realized that it has evolved Prismatic Wings. But the next evolution was the milestone for Zenphyre in order to achieve his immense display of power and strength.
Doing a Shadow Lair FSC run with a random skilled group, Zenphyre and his group battled their way through Carnavons and Slag Guards along with dodging Trojans and having cookies with Howlitzers. Reaching Darkfire Vanaduke after forty minutes, Zenphyre prepared himself and after hearing his deep voice that made potatoes grow, the battle began. Dodging and killing Carnavons and shadowfire, Zenphyre began to notice a trail of thick red cloud radiating form Vanaduke himself transferring over to his set. Ignoring the trail, Zenphyre continued to battle the Duke and throughout the fight the stream of red club began to make itself more visible and Zenphyre swore he saw a spark of red lightning emanating from himself. A few minutes later, Darkfire Vanaduke stands near in defeat and Zenphyre and his group ready their Blitz Needles to take him down once and for all (again). However, the Duke had his eyes set on Zenphyre and prepared to charge against him. Noticing this, Zenphyre released the charge on his Blitz Needle and fired volley upon volley of piercing armor rounds at the Duke who suddenly charged at him full speed. The collision of both gun and trojan charge caused a huge explosion to appear and the three members of the group then released their Blitz Needle charge and fired at the Duke, seeing his now fallen form exploding in mini eruptions before finally being defeated (again). Out of the smoke, Zenphyre stood dazed and his vision was blurry from the enormous impact he and Vanaduke made. Upon recovering, he turned to who his group who had looks of awestruck and amazement in their faces along with burritos they packed for lunch. Wanting to know what happened, they told him to look at himself and Zenphyre noticed that he was glowing more vibrant and red sparks of lightning crackled from his set. Looking at himself more, he then realized that the stream of red energy being transferred was the set absorbing Darkfire Vanaduke's power and making it its own, thus receiving a huge power boost from the battle. Upon realization of this, Zenphyre has achieved a great power of his own and realized that power coming from the earning of the red energy, being hte Aggro Aura.
Coning out of the Clockworks in his newly established aura and having a small water fountain break while nibbling on a bagel, Zenphyre noticed many people looking at him weirdly and others trying to buy from him. He went on his usual business on sitting at one of the corners of the fountain and looking outward toward the Auction House. Upon seeing more arguments and virtual fights happening in Haven, he noticed a retiring knight is selling Prismatic Parrying Blades for a very cheap price, and having an urge, bought one from the knight and equipped it on his set, becoming more detailed. However, his original sky color didn't clash well with the red patterns of the set, so after thinking about changing color for 11 years and 4 soccer matches, he decided on changing his color. Buying the red personal color, he recalled his many memories on his sky color and telling it that he well miss it. Equipping the red color, a sudden explosion happened which made plants grow and created a new national park created, in which the explosion was so huge that the hotel manager hired a new assistant to build more rooms for more people. The smoke cleared and shockwaves of red lightning appeared everywhere and a crater was in the explosion's place, in the middle being Zenphyre standing with red glory and display of immense power: the Red Rose set has shown Zenphyre's true form to the world!

White Rose Regalia: Next Level Unleashed
Ever since Zenphyre came into SK when God adopted the bagel at the donut shop next to the swap meet where he gets his fresh clothing apparel with no mark on it, he always though upon exceeding his limits in ability. Having achieved the Red Rose power acknowledged him to be the best he can be without having short lunch breaks in between depths and hearing the spider walk outside on a leash. However, Zenphyre knew he could gain more abilities if he worked harder in going beyond his limits. While the Red Rose power came with many benefits (dem people looking at it too long), Zenphyre knew he could do better, and ever since God created Zenphyre when he quit WoW forever because he wanted to watch more anime on Saturday nights, he knew he could achieve more. When Zenphyre got the Red Rose set, he acquired another set that was partially incomplete and during his time in SK, it took him many months to acquire the next piece but he knew it was worth it just like feeding kiwis to platypus when they're on winter break. The other set he acquired was incomplete due to the missing link that SK didn't have, and for many months Zenphyre has been seeking it to finish the set and once it is fully complete, then his limits can be exceeded in which his limits will have no limits (see what happened there. :P).
Searching for many months on the item that he needed to complete the set, Zenphyre knew that he would have needed a pine-cone scented miracle to even get it. Not many in SK have the item nor did it show up often in the AH. For almost four years Zenphyre has traveled distant lands to find such item to increase his limits, yet it was tedious for him to keep looking. As many of the old folk went and played other games or pet the baby kittens, the items they had from the ole days were long forgotten which made it harder for Zenphyre to obtain. While Zenphyre still had his specific set which made him stand out somewhat, he only considered the set as a substitute until the item he needs is revealed. Almost four years later such an item has shown up and Zenphyre went all out in obtaining it, as others saw the item as well and battled it out to obtain which. Eating a sandwich in front of the AH with apple juice and pocky sticks, Zenphyre kept watch for arguments or people trying to lightly rub their bellies while they sit down. As the item has yet to be given, Zenphyre remained vigilant and kept and eye out for anything out of the ordinary, such as snipes forming a line for a field trip to the sock museum. A day went by and the item was close to be given out, and Zenphyre remained the high bidder in which almost no one opposed him. As the item had five minutes remaining in the AH, another posted a higher bid on it but luckily Zenphyre was aware of this and nuked his muffin with his own bid. Unopposed for the last five minutes, Zenphyre has finally acquired the item he needed to create his long term goal set which will help him in ending the Great Big Duck Rebellion of Mars.
Having obtained the item, which is a Chapeau of the White Rose that he has been searching since his entrance in SK, Zenphyre has put on the chap along with the Tabard of the White Rose that he has obtained in the start of his SK life. Loving the look and feel of the silky fabric and more lightweight material and that it came from the swap meet, Zenphyre has gone ahead and transferred all the power he had in the Red Rose set and put it within his new set. Immediately Haven started to shake violently at the raw power emitted and somewhere along the way snipes gathered to watch with popcorn and soda at the bright light that was emitted. Growing prismatic aspects as well as gaining a Twilight Aura (the gummy delicious flies around him as snacks), Zenphyre felt his power go beyond what he originally had in the Red Rose set and upon passing his limits, his personal color changed back to his original form from when he started. Once that happened, an explosion like before erupted only this time it was ten times more massive that one needed 3-D glasses to experience higher definition that normal movie theaters didn't provide with their highly salted popcorn and tasteless smoothies. When the smoke cleared, a gentle wind flowed through the air and a caressing aura was felt as Zenphyre was revealed, having returned to his original color and now sporting his new sought after main set, the White Rose set which was Zenphyre's truest form behind his Red Rose set. Glowing an immense sky blue with wisps of blueberry-tasting flies around him that he shares with friends and hobos, Zenphyre has achieved his perfect and exact form to show to the world!
Skill Level and Experience
Based on Zenphyre's time and stay among SK has left him with tons of virtual adventures that made his knowledge of Cradle grow and knowing of the Clockworks increase, along with making it on time for bagel breakfast bonanza every Saturday on the third week of June after National Donut Appreciation Day. Having been on SK for 3 years and going on since two weeks after beta ended made him more aware of what happens within the Clockworks and what stuff happens among Haven when weirdos come next to him and ask him for pizza takeout. From the beginning, he was a small recruit amazed at what challenges await him and what perils he will face among reaching the end, along with finding the snipe that took him back in time when the lazychair was invented so he can test drive it around a stock car track designed for 200 mph speeds. Years later, Zenphyre has transformed into an experienced field veteran that utilizes tactical and strategic plans to wipe out his enemies and destroy countless foes with the use of his arsenal and fearsome cookies. Time passing by, Zenphyre has grown a lot more aware of what happens and knowing what happens makes him do things that he is able to do in his sleep like punching the pillow who he thinks is Marshmallow Man trying to take the flower away from the little girl aggressively without trading it for a giant lollipop. Zenphyre even grew more knowledgeable to how the Clockworks is run and how facing certain enemies are to be taken care of, and overtime he turned from being a runt of the litter to a hobo laying on the stairs for a few hours and watching people wrestle each other for who can get the last smoothie from the AH on Labor Day.
In terms of Zenphyre's fighting style, he deploys mostly offensive/powerful sword/gun combos while utilizing speed and agility for his main strategy. Unlike charging into enemies without knowing what their strengths/weaknesses are, Zenphyre plans ahead of time to see what he may deal with and tactically devises ways on how to dispose of them for attempting to take his dark chocolate bars ahead of time before next day's waffle giveaway is made. Before dash/shield bash were ever incorporated into the game, Zenphyre focused more on ASI more than CTR where it played as the underdog and ASI wasn't much of a matter for CTR gave more overall damage. Zenphyre however chose ASI for better DPS with the use of his fast-swinging weapons at the time he created them. Once dash/shield bash has been added into the game, Zenphyre took advantage of the dash ability to increase his dodging/agility even more and due to that, the use of blocking with his shield has been reduced dramatically to the point where he almost never gets hit (unless he messes up, sometimes...). Aside from Zenphyre utilizing ASI and fast dodging abilities, he focuses on increasing the DPS of his weapons to allow for more powerful hits upon striking enemies with weaknesses to said weapon, and from that he is able to extinguish them more quickly before dealing with other enemies who may be trying to bite his apple juice off. Zenphyre takes advantage of increased damage to further increase his speed of clearing out rooms while gathering loot at a faster rate, and sometimes he dodges attacks so quickly that it causes knights near him to lag spike off the screen and fall into the dark abyss not knowing how fast he got from point A to point B without spilling his water cup. Overall, Zenphyre incorporates more offensive techniques while achieving greater speed and damage to reduce his time of clearing out rooms, and coming out of them movie-style with an epic explosion behind him, and a pig flying off into space in a rocket :D.
From other knights/player's point of view, Zenphyre will literally rush his way through levels effectively clearing out depths with max damage and max ASi while incorporating max CTR to finish the job on stronger enemies. Zenphyre will NOT slow down if players tell him to slow down so they may attack enemies as well. It is their problem if they do not like his fighting style, as he is skilled enough to obliterate his way through levels at even the hardest difficulty. No matter what players think of his fighting style, Zenphyre will remain using his techniques and from the Battle Sprites update, his Drakon with Swift Steps has increased his ability to clear out depths even faster and make it to the end of the elevator in less time than a nonrushing person would do. In short, Zenphyre goes so fast that he makes fast people not fast. Whatever you tell him when you join his party or so, Zenphyre doesn't care if players want him to slow down, he will rush through depths at the fastest speed he can possibly go and destroy enemies with max dmg/ASI/CTR (his weapons have okay UV's) and get to the end while waiting patiently for players to get to him, but don't think he'll listen when players tell him to stop, they'll have to deal with it. Overall, Zenphyre is the best in his own sense but doesn't admit that he is the best in SK, he is just among the best in his field. In Lockdown and Blast Network, he is decent but above average when it comes to fighting against other players. Even then, Zenphyre is more focused on PvE since it gives him more cooperation among other players and lets him gain more experience on what goes on when the gates switch in the Clockworks, as well as knowing when lunchtime goes on when he gets hungry for a burger :T.
Fang of Vog: Eternal Flame
The Fang of Vog, which I acquired somewhere in the 2nd day on the fourth week of May somewhere in 2011 after that one holiday, is one of my most used weapons when it comes to going against enemies that are weak to elemental (and sometimes I would have a fun time with fiends with it :D). Now, the swings from the blade are slower than that of a regular 3-swing sword and even though it looks like a Cutter, it doesn't have the speed of one. The speed of the blade is almost that to the DA but with a third swing, and each swing has a chance of causing strong fire against the enemy. The DPS from the swings are less than what a normal elemental sword should be and because of the slow speed it does with each swing, not many use it as much due to it, but with ASI trinkets the blade can strike faster but not nearly as fast as a 3-swing sword. Now for the fun part (YAY!), the sword's charge creates a circular pillar that engulfs the user in flames which swirls around him, creating a vortex of fire which I truly adore. However, the charge gives a chance of strong fire against the user, meaning that the user will burn baby burn until he or she smells like chicken (must resist turning cannibal...). But the charge has a ridiculous amount of DPS to it, making one of the strongest swords through charge, and since the charge has almost no knockback, the charge can hit up to 4 times, and with trapping enemies in corners, get ready to see those red numbers :D. Against Trojans, the charge will one shot them in T1, T2 and the early depths of T3, but with elite slash modules (which I does not have but have Skolver which hurts me because of no fire resist. D:), it is possible to one shot them in lower stratums of T3. Even against Slag Guards it is effective, and helps in clearing out the waves in which they appear during Phase 5 of Vanaducky (yes I call him that :D).
Even if the blade isn't powerful enough when it comes to normal strikes, the charge amazes me and helps me out in taking out Jelly King and Ice Queen in less than a minute (Ice Queen takes a little longer due to... yeah xD), and helps a lot when it comes to arenas and graveyards. Fang of Vog is also cool looking to me with it's flames engulfing around it and the way it sounds from the strikes is like a torch. Even though I sold FoV's for crowns and such (unbinding is still ridiculous Dx), I kept my very first FoV and will stay with me forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... :).
Because the charge of the FoV is cool and bad@ss, these are the times when I would get bored and have fun spamming the charge in ATH, killing myself from the burn afterwards (but at least I still smelled crispy and chickeny :D).

The End?
The usual look before transforming.
What I do before runs
OMG it's alive!
Her new look looks cuter. Now I can tell that it's not a guy :D.
One day...
...that thing will open.
