Shieldless Blitz Needle challenge [Part 1] [Spiral Knights]

  • 3 years ago
Today I attempted this challenge, which was posted by Web Casserole in Astraea guild's discord.

Not using a shield while only allowing blitz makes things very spicy, because you are not able to neither directly charge without an initial shot nor cancelling a lot of idle time after each of your attacks. As result you have always a lot of time where you are vulnerable. Additionally this challenge consists of tediously clearing each possible piece of lava in all levels for some reason...
