I just got a graviton charge recipe, and I was wondering if this particular bomb, or any graviton bomb would be useful for JK runs since it's shadow damage and such...
Any help would be appreciated :3

I've used it once or twice in a JK run before and i got it to work well, but it's not really meant for damage, it's used for crowd control, even though it's the only shadow bomb in the game... You can also use it for much more than JK runs, like arenas and jelly farms (so much fun on those jelly farms).
Most people use a Vortex type bomb to bunch a whole bunch of enemies together to unleash a charge that hits all of them at once. The brandish line charges work wonders with those types f bombs.
Upgrading the vortex to 5* allows it to "grab" larger enemies like lumbers. I believe darkbrady uses it as a shadow dps bomb XD
Ohh, okay. So it's more of a crowd control weapon. So I guess I should get a nightblade or faust or shadowtech for damage. Thanks for the info guys!
If you're doing JK then I definitely recommend a sword over a gun to kill everything as fast and efficiently as possible. I prefer the Nightblade line over the Faust line so you don't have to chase down a jelly after knocking them away or having o shield cancel to avoid knocking them away. Plus the charge is a lot more useable than the Faust's.
its extremely useful for the jelly palace (and just about everywhere else) but not because of the damage type. sucking enemies in and holding them in place makes them extremely vulnerable to charge attacks (namely brandishes and DA), allowing u to potentially annihilate a crap load of enemies in one hit. i definitely recommend it or the electron vortex.
This is actually a guide, but for this purpose it gets the point across:

Darkbrady's video is excellent.
But remember, what you are currently carrying is the Charge, not the vortex. DarkBrady's using the vortex, which has a much larger area of effect than the charge.
In other words, play with a much more cautious tone about your weapon, it doesnt have the range that a Vortex does.
Apparently It works hilariously vs Jelly king himself.
Not sure about anywhere else.
