So it turns out Zerokk's more of a total bro than I thought.

He was nice enough to send me a review through Cutmail, and I figured I might as well put it here to help anyone else.

[4:25:55 PM] Rock Strider: I have no idea which Digimon to take into the digital world
[4:26:08 PM] Rock Strider: to be perfectly honest I hardly even used them
[4:26:15 PM] Rock Strider: I'm just used to punching dudes in the face


you must review all of them SUBJECTIVELY so if you come out with "Seraphynx sux" I'm ignoring your answer

oh alright


Drakon is that direct assault type and is actually pretty cool for bombers but it's probably not what a gunner needs. As Llama said, it's good for defensive playstyles. All of it's stuff cause the burn status which is pretty cool unless you're in FSC. The firebolt has a fairly low cooldown, especially with augments.

Seraphynx is that support type that may or may not increase the amount of Sparks of Life you keep with you. The ray of light is very useful when paired with a teammate's Maskeraith's Caustic Quills. The heart attack and angelic aura are both for defense+support, and are quite useful.

Maskeraith is that OTHER one that I picked due to thinking it was underrated. Caustic Quills are handy because they inflict poison, and they stick to targets. When you hit a target, it deals bonus damage and removes one quill from the target. Shadow Cloak is useful for people that like to go to arenas, or any place that you get chased by everything. It's more of a utility, and I don't use it all that much, but it helps you get out of sticky situations. I don't know much about Hexing Haze, but it looks like a pretty cool thing to use in a crowd.

So basically:

Drakon = Single Target-ish Assault, Fire, Thunder_Electros raging at you.

Seraphynx = Healing, Defense, Awesome Level 100 appearance, if you have the patience and materials for that.

Maskeraith = Crowd Control, Poison, Escape

I think Maskeraith or Seraphynx is what you want: You like slapping things with oversized icy hunks of metal on a stick like you always did, and they both seem to compliment that.

By the way I know like nothing about Seraphynx and Drakon's game feel because I picked Maskeraith.

That was extremely informative and from that post alone I felt like I learned more compared to the overview post from the Spiral Knight devs or me repeating the three sprite missions about five times.

You're right, I'll probably end up choosing Not Drakon; Arena sub-stages are actually my second favorite Clockworks design and it seems like I'm always shielding or using the Dash Booster, though Seraphynx is incredibly tempting in the whole "you won't die so fast" department. I think I burned through three Sparks of Life on Warmaster Seerus alone, and mob-type bosses like Jelly King typically give me trouble, so making their minions spit out hearts for me sounds like an ideal ability.

Thanks for writing this out, and if you don't mind I'll go toss it in the thread as well.

I'm glad I could help while listing the positive stuff on each of them. I couldn't get much detail on the ones I didn't use, myself.

So yeah, I'd mostly recommend Llama's info on Drakon over mine, or a mixture.

Maskeraith's ultimate skill augments for Caustic Quills and Hexing Haze usually help alot with crowd control, especially that one that makes a quilled target shoot another quill to another target, or you can go for explosions instead.

It takes a while to get Hexing Haze, sadly. Same with all the third skills. I think level 50-ish?

[Balrog]

I made suggestions. Give feedback, bump, do whatever you have to do to get a dev response.

[Ceridran]

Oh, hey guys.

If you want to get in the guild, send me a friend request so I can invite you. "Zerokken"

You can also send Balrog "Warp-Master" one because he can invite people too because he's the guild leader.

[Ceridran]

I do solo elite missions alot.

I've been chased by more T3 Jelly Cubes than that.

Especially in waves.

Thankfully I didn't die.

[Rozark]

guys you should donate crowns to the guild so we can be amazing

also stop playing on mentally disabled orangutan mode you're embarrassing me

How about I go LEL and make my own guild.
Also, I've solo elited every mission so far at some point.
Only on 4-2.
I got this.
Man up already and ELITE everything.

First of all, having more than one guild is a waste of effort and energy. I can give you Guild Master privilege if you really want it, I guess.

Also, I'm not as OP as you are, I guess. Do you have 5* everything, perchance? (I'm going to try to elite everything I can because of the payout, but I'm doing it with friends so the monsters have someone else to use as a punching bag.)

I have tier 2 star/stuff.
So no, I'm very UP.
I just find it ridiculous easy because double pistols yes. (Before then it was just Pistol x Bomb)

Hey if anyone's wondering my name is De-Xstroyer.

Squidgy was taken :C

Anyway I REALLY like the new Battle Sprites and I think that Maskeraith's cloak could really come in handy with my equipment...

How about you just run for the exit in Deconstruction Zones? It's fairly close in most cases, and it's not like it's blocked or anything

Who would do that? The visit is worth nothing if you don't explore the Deconstruction Zones.

so close to vog cub cap

Mind promoting Thunder and I to a high enough rank to be able to decorate and make purchases? We want to use some of our own money to help make the place more aesthetically appealing via furnishings (i.e. plants, beds, shelves, ect.).

First off, I was playing the knight rescue mission, so the exit was in fact blocked. Second, running past all the loot defeats the purpose of playing on Elite. (Also I screwed up the locked-door chain )

EDIT: Gumball can now decorate. He can't change anything without permission from me or Zerokk though, so don't worry about defaulting or anything. (I hope.)
