FAN ART | A Bit of Gremlin Propaganda

FAN ART | A Bit of Gremlin Propaganda

Made this to post on Bluesky but I might as well post it here too. Tenderfoot Gremlin Mender Lunni is here to advertise the game (and get Knights to stop killing her kind).

I don't actually play the game myself anymore, don't really have the time to sink into it, but I do want to see one of my favorite games thrive again.

For Lockdown/Brawl Players, what makes a good map?

So I've been exclusively playing Blast Network almost in the daily since I don't have Black Kat and top tier gear, but I still want to try and make maps for every game mode and not just Blast Network.

When playing the PvP modes, what's something you prefer seeing on a map? Certain power ups? Statue puzzles to access heals? Specific hazards? What's a layout people like? And at one point does a map become "Too big even for two teams" because I even had to trim the blast network map I made a few times.

Also, I'd happily show people how to use the program but I'm still learning it myself even as I make stuff. I'd do video tutorials but I don't know how to video edit x.x

This was my entry for the storyboard contest (Rennata-Spark)

I wanted to suggest the first beats of the Spiral Order's story on Cradle, to then show the core gameplay loop (fight, itemize, dive deeper), and finally, commemorate some moments every spiral knights player, new or veteran, will grow to cherish.

knight launcher heat mod?

Is there a mod that predicts or shows approximately how much the heat i have collected will level up my gear? for context im farming forge prize boxes and i want to be more efficient by skipping part of depths after i accumulate enough heat

Also if you know other useful mods that could improve grinding efficiency, let me know

Rare Gear Drop, check it out!

Big gremlins with shields can drop a 4 star shield called "DarkFang Shield"
is a very rare drop, it has no upgrades and is just a re-skin of the owlite shield

so it is inferior to it, but is a cool looking shield.

Ever wondered exactly how much of each Material you'd ever need to craft everything at least once, so you could quickly sell the excess? I've made the spreadsheet for you :)

(direct link if u don't want to click thru my bsky post qq)

make a copy for yourselves so you can delete the columns of items you don't want/need and it'll update the totals on the left! (or add anything i missed lmao)

lemme know if you find any issues!! i kinda threw this together over 3 days so there might be errors lol

If you think about it, the elevators already have a “ready up/vote to progress” system

This would be such a huge QOL improvement and make me not wistfully wish I had brought fang of vog just to self-immolate and skip the core dialogue.

Favorite design aspect of the game?

I absolutely love the design and artstyle of this game, always have. It's a huge part of why I got addicted to it after initially downloading it for the TF2 hat.

But what is your favorite part?

For me, I just love the Snipes a lot. They don't do anything, but they're just so cute and iconic for me, the way the fly around. I also really like the concept of the Gun Puppies, especially the Love Puppy. And Snarbolax, of course.

And, for some reason, the Plate Mail cosmetic really speaks to me. The Thunderous one especially, but I'm also already very happy that the Raging one came back now. It's just so chunky. That and Sealed Pauldrons. And the Sealed Sword.

Okay I could keep going forever honestly. Just lots of cool stuff.

Stuck on this page forever

I've tried everything, even abandoned my old account and used a new one but nothing works. Just how do I fix this?

(I went to the website, created an account, validated it, tried the log in with account as well, nothing works. I also tried using steam and it still doesn't work)

WTB Black kat cloak

I really want this armor, I'd be grateful if someone could either sell it to me, or knows someone who is selling it, preferably clean.

Whats next?

I got CTR High in Voltedge and Blitz, with the Focus trinkets i get it to maximum and I also have 3* black kat so I get maximum Damage Bonus, Whats the next step?

u/FunAccount6851 — 3 days ago

The Level Editor is fun, everyone should give it a shot for sure!

Even if you dont end up getting a map in the game, just making something fun and fancy is honestly super fun.

Favourite 5* Brandish?

There's the Glacius, Combuster, Voltedge. Obsidian Edge, Acheron or Amputator; which is your favourite?

As much as it is a pain to get, I love the Voltedge. The shock can be annoying when it prevents shield bashing but interrupting an enemy's attack is very helpful.

Searching for a specific cosmetic

Hey all, this is my first post here on the Spiral Knights Redditpage. I know this would probably get buried but it's worth a shot asking here anyway.

For a long time I stepped away from this game because everything seemed way too daunting, all of the really worthwhile items were event locked, and anything "cool" looking costed millions and millions of crowns.

My friend recently got me to pick up the game and now I'm absolutely in love with it and am approaching 200 hours in the game. He's a long time veteran player with over 2k hours, optimized gear, and still finds the time to carry me through Vanaduke runs even when I'm woefully underlevelled. Due to his help I was finally able to get 5* gear!

Now, this is where I get to the item. He's been searching for one specific cosmetic for quite a long time. He's been looking for the Malachite Chapeau. I don't know when that event or box or whatever was around, but I know he's had the Tabard for over 10 years or so (i think) and hasn't been able to find it.

I know I can't afford much, as I think totally, my account has ever had was 100k crowns at a time. Is there anyone who can help me either grind for one, find one, or work something out? I wanna repay his generosity for helping me get this far in the game, and giving me really helpful tips and tricks.

If this kinda post is against the TOS of the Reddit, just let me know and I'll gladly remove the post myself, but if you're able to help, comment below and I'll send a DM. Thanks for listening to my ramble.

TLDR Searching for Malachite Chapeau to give to a friend for helping. Cant afford much, but am willing to work for it one way or another.

DLSS/RTX/Graphics Upscaling? Anyone experimented with this?

I've been thinking about how awesome it'd be to give Spiral Knights a bit of a modern visual facelift. Since the game's running on an older Java and OpenGL engine, native support for stuff like DLSS obviously isn't a thing. But I'm really curious if anyone's experimented with external upscaling tools.

Have you guys tried messing around with things like:

  • Lossless Scaling or Magpie (for spatial upscaling or frame gen)
  • Reshade with ray-traced global illumination (RTGI) or ambient occlusion shaders
  • Nvidia Control Panel / AMD Software driver-level upscaling

If you've tried any of this, did you actually notice a nice visual upgrade, or did it just mess up the UI and make the text unreadable?
