Well, me and my bestest friends finally made it to Emberlight again without dying… too… too much. We definitely need to focus on our areas. I’m glad I delve in our party often, because even with four slots, I still feel like I need a couple swords to cover two cases: slow monsters whose attacks can’t be interrupted (so you need knockback) and faster monsters that mob (zombies, greavers, gremlins). This is leaving me without range, sadly. But my bombs can presumably cover these swords… and yet, I prefer Kamarin over a Blast Bomb, because at least I can still hit things simply without a charging step when in the thick of it all.

I only investigated full Spiral Demo gear at the end of our journey. Goodness, even the mere 2-star armor lowers the bomb charge time considerably, though at the cost of looking fashionable (this is exactly what costume armor is for). And my friend with range got a Gunslinger helm, and it speeds up his range like whoah. My friend with Striker needs better armor if she’s going to midline tank; and so on and so forth.

Hmmmm. Anyways, I’m going to need to upgrade my armor aaaall over again. And just when I got a unique variant on a Dusker Coat for mild curse resistance.

No pictures, but I’ll leave a song here, based on the MLP:FiM Cutie Mark Crusaders theme song.

Look here, are three little knights
Ready to sing for this crowd
Listen up, ’cause here’s our story
I’m gonna sing it VERY LOUD

When you’re a Tier-1 knight
And your gear is very bad
Feels like the Core will never come
While your 4-star gear’s not yet had

So the three of us FIGHT the FIGHTS
There is nothing that we fear
We’ll have to figure out our strategy
Until our 4-star gear is here!

We are the Spiral Knights Crusaders
From our quest we’ll never ever veer
And we will never end the delving
Not until we craft our 5-star gear!

They all say you’ll get that gear
When the time is really right
And you know what you’re supposed to do
And your technique comes to light

But it’s not as easy as it sounds
And that waiting’s hard to do
So we test ourselves at every gate
Until the revive’s above 3-plus-2

We are the Spiral Knights Crusaders
From our quest we’ll never ever veer
And we will never end the delving
Not until we craft our 5-star gear!

We are the Spiral Knights Crusaders
From our quest we’ll never ever veer
And we will never end the delving
Even when we craft our 5-star gear!
