Hey, I'm fairly new to SK. Been playing for about a week and I plan to buy more energy to advance in the game. I've been reading through several threads about weapons/effects etc. I wanted to know what you thought of the following set up. Also, if you could make any suggestions/subsitutions/points about each, I'd appreciate that. My main routine will be to kill and explore as I'm a noob, nothing much else :p
Weapons: Leviathan Blade, *Dread Venom Striker OR Divine Avenger?
Bomb: Nitronome
Armour: Vog Cub set
Shield: Grey Owlite Shield
1. Is this a good setup, why?
2. What does this setup lack, why?
3. How can this setup be improved?
4. Would the Dread Venom Striker OR Divine Avenger work best with the above setup, which one and why?

That's a solid build and there's not anything wrong with it. A lot of people go with the build that you just listed because of the elemental defense and fire resistance for the Tier 3 boss, Lord Vanaduke. But I encourage you to try out some other armor and weapons as well. In addition to Nitronome, you way want to take a look at the Haze Bomb series, but there's nothing wrong with having weapon slots if you want 3+ weapons.
If you only want to craft one set of armor and limited weapons for the sake of saving yourself money, that's completely understandable. The build you listed is definitely the safest choice and you'll be satisfied with it. But consider whether you want to fight with swords, guns, bombs, or a mixture of these weapons. There are a lot of good armor sets out there for a pure swordsman/bomber/gunslinger.
