So I have recently been debating about spending some CE on getting some UV gear for LD. I was deciding between the following three things.

Wolver Cap Shock Max
Flourish ASI High
Sealed Sword ASI High

In the end, I settled on the sealed sword asi high, and am currently trying to get one.

However, after messing around with swiftstrike in the training hall, it seemed that the ASI high had a much more profound effect on the attacking speed of the flourish and not so much on the gran faust, so I figured I might as well ask for an opinion.

Which one of these would be the most useful to get?
(I already have a shock high skolver coat, and I use gran faust and BTB about equally in Lockdown, my usual loadout being BTB, GF, polaris, and sentenza. Also, if I get one of the weapons, I would be using snarbalox cap, as I do not yet have a skolver cap)

Thanks!

I would probably take the wolver cap shock max, because being immune to VT is priceless, especially if you play as a striker.

As for the choice, it really depends which one you use more, but my guess is flourish is going to be cheaper. ASI does have a noticeable effect on GF : not the actual speed, but rather the shield cancelling speed, which is much more important in LD.

I usually play recon with VT

I usually play recon with VT and some sword and gun (for use when people try to push me out of my shock cloud). By far those immune to shock are way more annoying than those with max ASI. Those with max ASI still have to push me off of a control point. Those with shock immunity just dash right in and hit hard. I then have to recover.

I have a shivermist buster too, but if you make wolver shock max into a skolver cap, then you'll be immune to that too and you'll be immune to the two biggest status bombs.
