Final Flourish has the best

Final Flourish has the best damage for the charge, but it's slower so the Trojan sometimes turns around when you start attacking. Barbarous is faster and does faster damage. It's possible to get all 8 hits in, which makes the charge even better.

With the Final Flourish, the charge is best when the Trojan's not aggroing you.

Both work great for taking

Both work great for taking down Trojans but each has its shortcomings.

For all 8 hits of Barb to connect you need to be right on top of the Trojan when you release. Because of the proximity you might get shocked. FF isn't as susceptible to this since you can release a space away and still connect all its hits.

Barb will do more overall damage if you get all 8 to hit. It is easy to get at least the middle 6 to connect, but then the damage is similar to FF. You can miss with FF too if for some reason the aim is off or they move when you are in the middle of the charge attack, I rarely miss with FF though.

Matter of preference I think.

BTB is best

Although Final Flourish is best for killing big targets like trojans, the BTB is used because of its projectile charge attack, it can hit multiple enemies (And also because it's red and black: cool) making BTB like a gun.

If you're specifically

If you're specifically looking for a good weapon to kill Trojans with, Blitz Needle is the best one for the job. A single charge will kill T3 trojans if you're solo, and even with 4 people you're only looking at maybe two. It also doubles as pretty much the best weapon for FSC.

Also note that the Barbarous

Also note that the Barbarous Thorn Blade has a much less damaging charge attack than the Dark Thorn Blade (it's 4* little brother), as each spike does about half as much damage (though the sword swipe / snarby chomp deal more damage, as expected).
