i disagree
i disagree. CIV, while doing less overall damage than levi, is a perfectly functional sword. specilization is a very efficient tool for different stratums and levels, and CIV is a very affective sword for FSC, doing more damage against zombies. in a party, the facts that CIV lacks knockback is better, so youre not knocking slags into teammates, and keeps them organized so wespons like DA hit more baddies. also, you cant compare CIV to weapons like DA and the brandish lines charge attack, seeing as their in two completley different categories of play style (heavy vs calibur, 360 spin vs a line of attack) overall, if youre planning on doing runs other than FSC, levi would be a good choice, however CIV shouldnt be overlooked.

CIV does less damage, but
CIV does less damage, but having less knockback is generaly a good thing, you are far more likely to get two or three hits with the charge attack (levi tends to just throw them out of range too fast), and you are less likely kill temates by throwing mid attack animation monsters into them. Its a much better sword in team situations than the levi. Of course I am of the opinion that special damage>>> normal damage, so I wouldnt take either, but i much preffer my teamates to take a CIV over a levi, much healthier for me.

Yeah, we've had this a few times before.
Cold Iron Vanquisher is an overspecialized sword. There are no practical applications for it - any elemental sword (Combuster, Glacius, Voltedge, Divine Avenger) has a better charge attack and an inherent damage bonus against constructs as well.
CIV does more damage to undead than Leviathan, but Leviathan does more damage to all other five monster families and has ridiculous knockback which makes it the perfect lifeline jack-of-all-trades sword (something else that CIV lacks).
