Hey, how is everyone. I quit the game several years ago and just came back to play it again. Now,I dont remember ANYTHING about the stats of weapong and armours. I am also kind of low on crowns so would anyone tell me what is the cheapest but effective loadout for defeating Vanaduke and the Jelly King?
Thanks in Advance!
P.s. If anyone is selling the Dark Chaingun Recipe, let me know in the forums.
First, you might want to read my detailed armor guide, to see what the current balance and strategy is:

Not much has changed since 2014, but lots has changed since 2011. So it depends on when you left. In particular, Firestorm Citadel is not the hardest part of the game, although it is still the most farmed part of the game.

It depends on what you mean by "effective". Just about any armor can be used to beat the game, if you have enough skill and a good enough computer/connection.
The cheapest armor is the Azure Guardian line, because you get the recipes for free from the rank missions, thus saving yourself 50,000 crowns. However, this is some of the worst armor in the game, and there are lots of other costs besides recipes. So you should not get it.
Instead, spend a little extra to get armor that you really want. Which armor that is depends on which weapons you're using, and whether you can stand to play "glass cannon". See my armor guide.
