So currently the extent of my 4* arsenal is as follows.

Rock Jelly Helm
Rock Jelly Mail
Rock Jelly Shield
Sinister Skelly Mask
Sinister Skelly Suit
Sinister Skelly Shield
Miracle Hood
Miracle Cloak
Wise Owlite Shield
Grand Flourish
Cryo Driver

Also I have a Shadowtech Alchemer MK2 waiting to be upgraded to a Shadow Driver

As I prepare to make the move to 5* Gear I was hoping to get some feedback on the order in which I should make the transition, as well as how I should branch of my Miracle set. As a side note I was considering holding off on the rock jelly to get Ice Queen for the slightly better stats especially since my rock helm has UV Elemental Max and it would seem a waste not to utilize a Max UV to the fullest.

All advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

5* Gear eh?

Well...

First of all, for the Rock Jelly Set, yes I'd prefer Ice Queen Line because there are less sleep afflicting monsters in the Clockworks.

Second, I have no advice for the Sinister Skelly Set.

Lastly, the Miracle Set, I'd say the Divine Mantle, for the over-all elemental defense.

Stick with the Wise Owlite, Grand Flourish and Cryo/Shadowtech Lines.

I say this because, Armor/Helmet > Weapon > Shield, in importance. You need to have good defense to do well, as well as offense. However, you'd rather take a little longer to kill and not die all the time (not saying you will, but theoretically). Anyways, Elemental and Shadow sets are a good start for your transition, as those two types are probably the hardest type of monsters you'll face (Kats, Slags, Gremlins, and Gun Puppies). I, myself, started my transition Final Flourish -> Valiance -> Grey Owlite Shield -> Grey Feather Mantle -> Divine Veil. It wasn't terrible to go that way, but still... Advice? Angelic armor sets (and their upgrades) are better than Skelly series xD I like my Valkyrie Armor for it's Shadow defense, along with help against fiends. However, that's my preference, and you do what you'd like.

Y'know, Stuff Goes Here.

I think you're well-off buddy! You made nice decisions on the lines you went up, and you're set for FSC forever already pretty much. I mean...even a Scary Skelly Shield does a lot there.

Remember...

New Addition

So I wasted 110 CE on revives but I just solo-ed Tier 3 Warmaster Seerus so I have the Warmaster Rocket Hammer and Dark retribution. However, I have yet to face Vanaduke, so in preparation for that is it better to go with the Skelly Line or the Elemental Armor
