Should I go with Attack Speed Increased or Charge Time Reduction? Yes it will be used in Vanaduke.
TL;DR : ASI or CTR for a DA

CTR CTR CTR!
the divine avenger is basically used for the crowd control, being that you run vanaduke a lot, it would be in your best interest to buy a sealed sword with a ctr med>very high.
-why? because, most of the rooms in firestorm are spawned where you can kill multiple amounts of slags in one charge. i was fully going to recommend to recommend asi in this case because you will take less damage using the swing+shield+swing+shield technique. which even so it's a hard decision for me to say it because of the new slag jump attack but i am still sticking with ctr in your case. i am an owner of a ctr very high d.a, so that's your best bet.
--this goes with the brandish line also, the brandishes are mostly used for their amazing charge. which is why the brandishes ctr vh go for 25kce+ because it's SO much better than ASI because of how frequent you can get off a charge and how many slags/monsters it affects.
---if you're not a big money spender, i would recommend just getting a medium ctr sealed sword and ranking it up to divine avenger which with the level 10 base status you get very high anyway which is a good variant to have.

I agree with Snarky on this
I agree with Snarky on this one, you can shield bumb to get through slags.

Ever consider an Undead UV instead?
For the price of a CTR Med, you could get an Undead VH. Run in full Vog (for ASI VH) and with BTS (for a total of Max vs. Undead) and you'll never need to charge, nice though the charge may be.

Don't get ASI on any slow wep e.g. DA
ASI may have been useful for weps like DA but no longer is. The effect of the ASI is now proportional to the wep's original attack speed. Even if you get ASI maximum with DA the attack speed will increase a very small amount. You can see this if you have vog set and swiftstrike buckler; while these are equipped, your swords get maximum ASI. So it's best to get CTR.

FSC swordsmen
Vog Cub Set + Barbarous Thorn Shield + Elite Sword Focus Module, Elite Slash Module = Sword CTR very high, ASI very high, DMG very high. No need for any UVs, especially if you're using the already hardest hitting FSC sword lol.

As long as the sword in
As long as the sword in question has a useful charge attack, CTR is usually better as a UV because no armor or shield gives you CTR. Vog or Snarb/Skolver and SSB/BTS gives you ASI/DMG, and if you get even just a Med CTR UV you can just pop a single CTR trinket to get max.
I don't agree with Darkblizarga though, ask any LD player - ASI makes a pretty big difference on 2-hit swords.
What are you doing more in FSC -- Crowd Control or actually killing zombs? Because the DA isn't entirely useful vs. Vana himself.
For CC, go for CTR.
For actually carving a path through zombs, go ASI.
