which brandish is the best and why do you think it is the best brandish i like the shockburst line because shock is like a total stun that does damage
Questions on brandishes
Why 'stun' when you can simply burn'em to death faster? -Combuster
Seriously, not this question again. there's noreal winner.It's situational.
I like fire brandish because i turn enemies on fire. And I also like freeze brandish because I can freeze enemies too. IT depends on the stratum FOO, I AIN'T WALKING WITH A COMBUSTER IN FSC. So the brandish line in general has to be my favorite. (acheron is fun with jellies)
The Combuster is also great in FSC. The Combuster in FSC behaves just like the Archeron vs Slime/Gremlin anywhere else. Who lets anything live long enough to burn to death anyway? I run the Combuster with DMG Max, ASI VH, & CTR Ultra and it is a powerhouse in FSC.
fire and shock brandishes are the ones i like they most
Fire is the best status effect. Shock doesn't save your skin much, and freeze doesn't damage unless no-one attacks. If you're going to FSC, however, then freeze/shock suddenly seem very attractive as the fire-themed enemies are immune to fire.
Shadow (Nightblade to Acheron) is the best for the Royal Jelly. Don't fall for the cautery sword, nightblade is better, more general-use, and goes up to 5*.
I'm guna step in and defend freeze. Freeze doesn't really kill the enemy, it just makes the enemy equivalent to dead for about 10 seconds. Glacius AOE is also incredible, and you can pretty much immobilize half a room if you're good. Makes less things to worry about.
Is this intended as a brandish appreciation thread, or are you asking people to compare the brandish lines (i.e., wanting to know if one is more effective than another)? Either way, however, I would recommend starting by doing a quick search for the 5* brandishes--there are many, MANY threads exactly like this already, and no reason to start another.
