-Vog Cub Cap Piercing Low Fire Low (Whenever I get the 3k cr to upgrade)
-Vog Cub Coat Shock Low
-Avenger CTR Low and Natural CTR Low
-Grand Flourish Undead Medium or Ascended Calibur Undead Low Gremlin Medium
-GOS Normal Low
I wasn't sure if I would need to upgrade my weapons, since I do not have the cr or heat to do them yet.
Will this work as an FSC loadout?

yes, for all of FSC except Vanaduke; Vanaduke will be harder
That loadout will work for all of FSC up to Vanaduke. Most of FSC just requires an elemental sword (or gun); DA is better than regular A, but you might as well try it with regular A. You can kill trojans with your elemental sword, so the piercing sword is not necessary, but it is a bit faster. If you're just learning FSC, and just playing solo, then a crowd-control bomb such as Shivermist Buster or Voltaic Tempest helps a lot. If you're playing in a party, then one person can taunt the trojans while another kills them.
You can also do Vanaduke with just swords, but it's a bit difficult for a novice, because Vanaduke is surrounded by fireballs a lot of the time. You can put the fireballs out with water and use swords, but it's easier just to fire a gun through them.

Your loadout is pretty solid;
Your loadout is pretty solid; like others have said you might want to get your gear to 5* first. You can probably run most of FSC on your own with some practice in that gear, but for Vanaduke himself you're going to want to find a group of players with things like Shivermist, Blitz Needle, or Argent Peacemaker. You can't deal much damage to Vanaduke with swords in his second and third body phases, so you'll primarily be throwing water around to douse flames on teammates, the ground, and eliminate Vanaduke's shielding fireballs.

A Cal or Grand Flour?
So, should I take my A Cal or my Grand Flour along with my Avenger?

I haven't done FSC yet, but
I haven't done FSC yet, but I'd suggest the Grand Flourish, because it would be strong versus trojans, and gives you a fast sword with a lot of knockback. Otherwise, the cal may be helpful for vana mask. It may depend more on what weapons your party has.

dude
its all about experience and skill.
i do fsc about everyday with ash tail cap/coat, blackened crest, blazebrand and something random to get heat (if nothing useful, i go silversix). beat it in duo, trio and full man parties.
(yeah, im doing fsc specifically to upgrade my gear to 5*, starting with vog)

"its all about experience and skill."
Yes, but the original poster is clearly not an expert in FSC, or else he wouldn't be asking whether a given loadout works. He wants advice on equipment, to help him survive long enough to gain experience and skill.

You are right, I am a first timer in FSC. I think this loadout will work. (With the appropriate team of course)

It should; but either get more weapon slots or replace the piercing sword with a Blitz Needle or a Shivermist, preferably Blitz Needle as it is better option.
You will be one of the most popular men in the group if you bring a Blitz or Shiver, while if you bring only swords then you might even get kicked..
I strongly suggest you replace the piercing sword with a Blitz, or get a extra spot for it.

I'd get a blitz, but...I'm kind of saving my energy for other things. However, hmmm. 2400 CE, 800 going to the DA. I could do 1450 going to the Blitz needle. Yep, I have enough CE to do it.

Strike Needle
I swapped my Grand Flurry with a regular Strike Needle. I think it will work better.
Your armor looks good, but you may want to upgrade those weapons to 5-star.
In a 4-man party, each zombie would probably take 8+ hits (just a guess) with a 4-star Avenger. It would require a fair bit of dodging, but you could probably do it if you're careful.
Give FSC a shot and, based on the experience, decide what you need to improve (gear or skill-wise).
