Glacius/Voltedge would work fine. Combuster will do good damage also but you lose the charge attack's status as everything in FSC either can't be set on fire or likes being set on fire.

Normally the Elemental lines
Normally the Elemental lines of Brandish is not brought into FSC because Divine Avenger deals Elemental damage and outshines them (the projectile and everything), for the status effect of the Elemental Brandishes, you can simply bring Shivermist or Voltaic Tempest into FSC.
What I think is the best weapons and armors to bring to FSC is:
1. Leviathan Blade/Cold Iron Vanquisher
2. Divine Avenger
3. Argent Peacemaker/Polaris/Storm Driver/Hail Driver
4. Shivermist Buster/Voltaic Tempest
5. Vog set/Fallen set (not sure about this one because it has damage penalty vs Fiends which means Trojans in FSC)/Volcanic Demo Helm+Mad Bomber Suit (mixed these two together because Mad Bomber set has fire penalty while Volcanic Demo Set has fire resist, don't use Volcanic Demo Suit+Mad Bomber Helm because Volcanic Demo Helm has CTR low while Volcanic Demo Suit has CTR medium)/Divine set (not sure about this one because it doesn't have Normal resist which is what Vanaduke himself deals)
6. Volcanic Plate Shield/Grey Owlite Shield/Crest of Almire
Note that you should only bring Volcanic Demo Helm+Mad Bomber Suit when you are going with 3 or 3+ bombs.
Recommended Bombs:
1. Shivermist Buster/Voltaic Tempest
2. Nitronome
3. Radiant Sun Shards
4. Any other good bombs that isn't the Graviton series. Something like the Electron line (Electron line with Shivermist is a killer, if you brought Electron line then don't bring Voltaic Tempest since they both can inflict shock)

Grav Bomb
Once you run vana fsc more, you'll realize the beauty of the grav/electron bombs and the glacius/voltedge. These bombs clear rooms extremely fast and allow you to deal so much more dmg than any of the other weapons that you have mentioned.
- DA is a good defensive weapon that does ok dps and knocks back mobs but it's slow swings aren't good at killing zombies fast.
- Shiver is good if you're still new to FSC but there is really no need for it
- Voltaic tempest is one of the better bombs
My general load for fsc is
- Glacius
- DA
- Argent/Polaris
- Grav Vortex/Voltaic Tempest
- Vog Set
- CTR med trinket
- Sword dmg med trinket
- Barb thorn / Volc Plate / Grey Owlite shield
IMO, nothing beats grav to gather up enemies & glacius charge attack to deal dmg to all the lumped up mobs. If done right, you will be amazed at how fast you get thru fsc levels.
Hey what about the Elemental lines of the Brandish (Glacius/Combuster/Voltedge) for FSC? Other than that, this guide basically covers all what new players need to know about FSC/Vanaduke boss.
