-Swords do normal damage (most of them) but you have to get close to the monster to kill it.

-Guns do low damage (most of them) and are ranged attacks.

-Bombs do heavy damage (all of them I think) but needs to be charged making you more open to enemy attacks
like Greavers and Devilites (Fiends).

-Which fighting style is the best? YOU VOTE!

-(I am a swordsman right now)

It all depends

Personally, I always keep a sword and one other weapon at hand.

I keep the sword because I'll need some close range attack, and the other weapon is for exercising caution.

I use my sword (Tempered Calibur) on a charge, smash mob basis. I find it very effective, because I know how to get in, deal te goods, and get out without sustaining damage MOST of the time.

The second weapon is as a backup. If I need to keep my distance, or attack from a distance (blast cubes) Then my second weapon is used. Usually a gun, but sometimes I take my graviton. Kiting with the graviton gives me time to run away and stay clear while still dealing damage, plus, I have anther hard-hitter strategy with it.

Plant bomb. Charge sword. All enemies are sucked into bomb. Whack them with the charge. Higher damage, sends em flying.

Thats what I do at least.

Vary your fighting style and make it flexible enough to adapt to other situations. Ansd see what works for you best.

Some people like to just fire guns while running around. Others combo the enemy till they drop. Some bomb kite till everything is dead. I just work with what I have.

Personally I prefer 2 swords

Personally I prefer 2 swords 1 bomb 1 gun. Generally the 2 swords are BTB/FF + some Elemental or Shadow sword.

Bombs are somewhat unnecessary but in the sense of pure map progression. For instance a gun is very preferable sometimes for hitting switches and the sort. And a sword generally a good idea for close quarters combat. But to be honest bombs are useful sometimes too for map progression, laying a long fuse bomb next to a switch can sometimes allow certain tricks. As well they are usually pots to hit most switches, and if you don't have pots you usually have vials. And you don't 'need' a sword to kill mobs. So really nothing is necessary, just more preferable for certain tasks.
