My Current Loadout:

Grintovec (+Construct Damage: Low)
Master Blast Bomb (+Slime Damage: Medium)
Bristling Buckler (also own an Owlite)
Fused Demo Helm
Spiral Demo Suit

Currently, my focus is getting my Demo armor leveled up to Heavy Demo. That's where the dilemna starts: Which Demo suit do I go for? I've been experiencing a conflict: I absolutely love bombing, but I rely on my trusty mountain sword to deal massive blows, knock away foes, and easily destroy lesser opponents. So, the question: what armor do I get? I love the concept of mad bomber and it's damage boosts, but that comes at the price of severe resistance penalties. Yes, I could use Owlite to counter them, but that would mean no sword damage boost. Do I go for Volcanic? Then what about my precious BOMB damage boosts?

Next is the weapon question. Obtaining 5 star armor and weaponry is initial priority, but I would like to eventually branch out into a 4 weapon loadout. For that I am picturing 3 bombs and a sword.

Nitronome
Sudaruska?
Ash of Agnil?
Electron Vortex?

The Nitronome is a definite for me; I just love the blast bomb line. However, I start having questions when it comes to the other three weapons.

I currently have a Grintovec, which I like because it has a chance to freeze on the second hit. However, this chance is ridiculously small, and I vehemently hate how freeze = no knockback (knockback is the reason that I USE mountain swords). So, I want to switch to the Sudaruska line. Problem with the Sudaruska line: Once you pass Kamarin, you can't stun on the second hit. Now, I don't really do charge attacks with the mountain swords (the charges are just too inefficient and I'd rather spend that time charging a bomb), so this is a bit of a problem for me. I ask: Could it potentially be a good idea to just go Kamarin forever? Probably not, but maybe? I doubt it but...

Also: Should I just stick with the Grintovec line?

Now...bombs...I've heard great things about both the Ash of Agnil and the Electron Vortex, but I have to wonder just how useful they actually are. For Ash: Yes, it does great damage, but I feel that I could accomplish the exact same thing by spamming nitronomes. I should probably still have a status bomb, though...that brings me to an excellent combo that I thought of a while ago: Voltaic+Electron. Shock status spreads, right?...field of shock status shenanigans.

Now, Electron Vortex. I've heard that it's good for clumping the enemy and then dishing out a sword attack. To me, that sounds perfect for the mountain swords, but the comments that I've seen have talked about "use a brandish charge". How effective is it with the Troika lines?

With this loadout, though, I notice one thing that's missing: damage types. Everything is normal, so I won't be doing any crits. I'd like to throw in DBB and Radiant Sun Shards, but there is no space; I sacrifice damage type prowess for various utilities (sword knockback, blast bombs, status, vortex pull ins). I'm especially concerned by the lack of sun shards. I have heard so many fabulous things about Sun Shards, and I love their ability to terrorize gun puppies. Somehow, can I fit them somewhere? (Edit: Hm...I could replace Voltaic with Ionized Salt Bomb. I've heard terribad things about the bomb, but what if I have max CTR?)

And what about different swords or maybe even a gun? Any that would help out this playstyle?

Well, that's pretty much it. Help?
