Hey there!
I mainly use sword(s)(I only have one sword until now), but I do like the Autogun line in many cases.(I have 2 Autoguns)
My loadout WILL be:

Combuster
Argent Peacemaker

Gran Faust
Grim Repeater

Final Flourish/BTB (help)
Blitz Needle (ofc Vana runs)

So, should I get a Graviton Vortex or an Electron Vortex? Do they even help us in any major way?
I mainly do Vana and Arcade runs, rarely play LD, and sometimes grind other bosses for token items.

Thanks in advance
Snarby

PS: Bonus Questions-
Should I get a Final Flourish or a BTB?
Is there any difference between the 3*/4*/5* versions of the Vortex bomb?

You do realize you have made

You do realize you have made many threads about the same topics. Please stop making multiple threads about the same topic. I know for a fact that you have only two weapons Combuster and Black chaingun. You make multiple threads saying you will get "x" weapons and you never make any of them.

Conclusion-You make these threads to get attention.

Why do you make multiple

Why do you make multiple threads then?

In this one you listed out weapons and you didn't get any of them.

In this one you said you will be getting DA or GF and you didn't get either. You also asked which one is better BTB or FF.

Explain all of these. Its clear enough you make the same threads over and over again. Read all of your other threads again for answers, and do not keep making multiple threads.

The Vortex bomb series is a synergy weapon rather than a damaging one. Much like the Pulsar series it is made for controlling where the enemy is. Pulsars are typically used defensively to hold back enemies and to push them into clumps.

Vortex Bombs are much more offensively synergized, that is they are used to help increase the damage output of other weapons. The Electron Vortex is typically hailed as the best but the Obsidian crusher also finds much use in levels where healers abound (arenas for example). The Graviton Vortex is the easiest to obtain and deals more raw damage on the blast but the status on the others make them much better offensive support tools.

If you are planning on using vortexes you must have decent CTR on them (via armor, trinkets, UVs, or sprite perks) and on other weapons as well. The radius of affect is smaller than any other 5 star bomb and the walk speed is slow so practice is a must.

If you can't get good CTR on all your items (you need to be able to charge your other weapon before the vortex blasts) then be sure to bring teammates who you can work with and can take advantage of your vortex.

PS
Vortex bombs work wonders in compounds when paired with the Voltaic Tempest.
