Special Effect

Special Effect are interesting graphical entities or animations added onto many items in Spiral Knights. Some accessories might be considered "pure special effects", such as auras. These effects are hard to classify, but there are a few main types that appear quite often. These are organized by behavior on this wiki. Check out the Special Effects subcategories to search for various items that have these effects.
