Upgrade sealed or antigua

Upgrade sealed or antigua because depending on the choice you make their damage output will totally change (but only if you plan to actually use those weapons).

To what?

To DA or Faust? I find it kinda hard to use but im started to get used to it. What about the tempered calibur?

More details

You need to add a lot more details if you want some specific help :
- what run are you currently doing or aiming to do ? JK, twins, T2 basil run, T3 basil run, FSC ?
- how many weapon slots do you use ?
- are you primarily a gunner or a swordsman ? (I guess a swordsman, as you have wolver series armor, but you have 2 guns ...)

Without more information, I would say upgrade your Dusker to Ash tail, so you have T3 access, and it will help you whatever weapon you use.

Are you sure you have a Polaris, not a Pulsar ? Polaris is 5*, considering you don't have T3 access, it's strange.

Answer questions ...

You only answered 1 out of 3 questions.

The only advice i can give is :
- upgrade sealed sword to faust if you are doing JK runs, to DA if you are doing twins run
- upgrade pulsar to kilowatt pulsar as soon as possible

swordsman who uses guns and bombs too

It seems that you primarily use your sword, but also use guns and bombs. Your armor is on track, then. Shivermist Buster is great for swordsmen. Polaris is a great elemental weapon, although it can be annoying in parties (high knockback, gigantic animation). You're going to want a shadow weapon and a piercing weapon. Gran Faust could be your shadow (but consider also Acheron). For piercing, consider Final Flourish or Barbarous Thorn Blade.

if ur going down the calibur

if ur going down the calibur line, go towards cold iron vanquisher. the leviathan is nice, but it only does normal damage. CIV has a UV bonus against undead and still does normal damage, so u get no penalty.

CIV has a bonus vs Undead,

CIV has a bonus vs Undead, but does slightly less damage vs everything else, so there is a tradeoff.

The Cold Iron Vanquisher gets

The Cold Iron Vanquisher gets a penalty of doing less damage than the Leviathan against everything but Undead.

@Brownknee

Yeah... the CIV also only does Normal damage. Read up on damage in this wiki article:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Damage

Any elemental damage sword is going to do better damage than a CIV due to Undead's weakness to elemental.

In my opinion Leviathan blade is better than CIV because.....

.....it does more damage on everything except undead. If you want to fight undead, get an elemental sword (for example avenger, iceburst / fireburst brandish etc) and not cold iron vanquisher. A good sword combination is Leviathan blade and avenger but you will need and extra weapon slot if you want to take the pulsar as well. Oh and upgrade your dusker.

FYI. If you had your Sword

FYI. If you had your Sword Damage Bonus Maxed out (Skolver set + BTS) then the Levi would out hit the CIV even versus Undead, because its base number is higher.

Sword DMG Bonus gets added to DMG Bonus vs [xxxxxx] and doesn't go past Maximum.
