Introduction
Welcome, Spiral Knight! This guide is meant to show you all the ins and outs of the Player versus Player (PvP) game, Lockdown. Lockdown is a PvP activity that closely resembles the game "King of the Hill." In this children's game and/or popular video game multiplayer PvP mode, multiple people compete to stay on top of the hill for the longest time. In Spiral Knight's Lockdown, two teams compete for multiple "hills," "capturing" a Control Point by standing by it until it has been claimed. Points are accumulated by both teams by keeping control of Control Points for a [certain amount of time] until a certain point goal has been met. Depending on the size of the teams, the point goal is either 500 or 900.
The purpose of this guide is to provide players tips on how to win Lockdown matches. We will give you helpful advice, such as equipment recommendations, strategies on how to attack and defend points, team coordination, and more.
Capturing Points
Dealing Damage
Common Weapons
There are many weapons that are used during Lockdown, but there are trends of commonly used equipment.
Note: the best version of the weapon alchemy line will be used.
Polaris - This shock-inducing gun that fires exploding bullets with high knock-back is a common sight in Lockdown arenas of any type. With its wide range, the Polaris line is a force to be recognized.
Divine Avenger - This elemental, two-swing sword is a powerhouse of damage. Though slow, its heavy damage output is highly prized in both the PvP and PvE worlds.
Gran Faust - This two-swing sword is almost exactly like the Divine Avenger, save for two very notable traits: it can induce the curse status effect, and it inflicts shadow damage instead of elemental damage.
Final Flourish - This fast piercing sword can deal substantial damage in a short amount of time and is very effective in hit and run strategies.
