I haven't bought CE for this game, and it's going to stay that way. So this is a rather crucial question, what should I upgrade to 5* next?
My current 4 and 5* items are: Swords: Ascended Calibur, Avenger, Silent Nightblade.
My style is swords, though I'll use my gun and bomb a good amount.
Bomb: Freezing Atomizer.
I was going for Shivermist but then this update comes out and make's freezing vana a lot harder, so I'm at a loss.
Gun: Gigawatt Pulsar. (This question really lays at bomb or sword.)
Armor: Vog Cub Coat.
Helm: Ash tail Cap. (I already have the fire resist with vog, so hoping to get a 5* weapon next.)
Shield: Grey Owlite Shield.
So, in short should I upgrade my bomb or one of my swords first? I hope to get a few details here and not just get "da is awesome u get that."
I'm thinking for everywhere. Thanks for your help guys! I put out only my 4 and 5* gear, not my 2 and 3* stuff.

Sword I think? Because you need to hit with swords a lot as you are more of a swordsman?

Might want to upgrade

Might want to upgrade Ascended Calibur. It's an all-around weapon, so it'd be more useful for anything rather than situational like the Silent Nightblade or Avenger.

personally, i would go for

personally, i would go for ascended calibur first. its normal damage, so it will be good to upgrade that first. later, you can upgrade the others. o, and dont listen to bigfoot. hes always like that. "get divine avenger, it has a great knockback in FSC" or "get vog cap first, its so good for FSC" or "get shivvy, its the best for FSC". WHY IS IT ALWSY FIRESTORM CITADEL?!!! WHY CANT YOU GET SOMETHING ELSE?!!! TELL ME BIGFOOT!!! WHY?!!

BTY, i just need 7k more to get leviathan blade recipe ;) i know, im so pro. i shuld prolly get enough money in 1 or 2 days. stupid thing is, i still have 2* armor. i really should be upgrading those instead...

@bigfoot

Thank you, thank you very much. =).

On an off topic, i will not be able to post the 4th chapter of Necropolis today. 1 more week until school for me and shadow, so we r sort of procrastinating everything and whining. Yes, whining. We're in middle school. Not high like most players are it seems.

ta da

silent nightblade. so can kill jk. cause jk is slightly weak to shadow. as r his minions. so u can get jelly gems. so u can get antigua. so u can get silversix. so u can get argent peacemaker. so u can kill snarby easier. so u can get frumious fangs. so u can get snarble barb or snarby bomb. or both. so u can upgrade the sword. or bomb. or both. so u can kill vanaduke with argent piecemaker, 5* snarby sword and/or 5*snarby bomb. cause he is a bit weak to piercing.

ta da!!!!!

Edit:

"argent piecemaker"
get it? piece-maker. piece. it shots things into pieces. so it makes pieces. therefore argent piece-maker.

AHEM.

Ahem, Necro, btw I HAD silversix, I disliked it, because it sucked as a all purpose gun, of course in FSC it was great, but that was about it. I sold it. My gigawatt pulsar has taken its place with much ease, doing around 200 damage per shot, plus it works everywhere, I can annihilate constructs and slimes as well. So imo Gigawatt pulsar>Silversix. I'd take the giga over the AP. 4* vs. 5* and I'd still go giga. :P. Perhaps I'll go DA first.... still looking for suggestions in game currently

Upgrade DA Farm FSC with it

Upgrade DA

Farm FSC with it so you can upgrade the other slots.

Your night blade isnt gonna be as useful in FSC.
And rather than upgrading calibur which only does normal dmg, its better to upgrade DA that do extra dmg to most things in FSC.

Cuz FSC is where the money is at after the JK money nerf.

Well, the question answered itself I guess, because I found a shivermist buster recipe at basil. :D

Order is main weapon, shield,

Order is main weapon, shield, armor/supplementary weapons depending on usefullness. Shivermist is supplementary, leviathan or Divine Avenger have (or had in your case) a higher priority.

You're fortunately in posession of a giggawatt though, which is in my humble opinion the best FSC item there is and massively useful at even 4*. Only trojans are a bit tough with it. Without that gun I'd have advised not doing vana before getting full vog.
Instead, play on, you can comfortably keep farming till you have everything 5*.
