Spiral Knights — A Spike Storm Strikes the Clockworks!

A shimmering storm is rolling through the Clockworks, leaving mysterious energy spikes in its wake. At first, these storms appeared to be nothing more than a lovely light show, but the resulting spikes are having a dramatic effect on local monsters!

Look for Anomalie in the Arcade before you brave the storm to help investigate these mysterious phenomena. Maybe such a concentrated energy source can be used to craft new loot? But act fast! The forecast indicates the current storm will dissipate at the end of the month.

Monster Spike Details:

• A new weather event has arrived and is affecting specific areas of the Clockworks. This includes depositing mysterious energy spikes that change monster behavior.

• Monsters will be inexplicably drawn to these new energy spikes.

• Monsters who have collected spikes will be more challenging than their non-spiked brethren.

• Defeating a spiked monster will cause that monster to drop its accumulated spikes.

• Collect spikes with your party to acquire exciting rewards like fire crystals or the new and powerful Slicer line of guns.
