Spiral Knights is classless

Spiral Knights is classless and there is no need to limit yourself to the role of "bomber" or "gunner" or "swordsman". Bring all three! You'll be versatile and have fun!

You have covered all damage

You have covered all damage types with your weapons. Shadow with faust and driver, elemental with siversix and brandish, pierce with toothpick.

Unfortunately, there isn't much detail we can work with to tell you what to upgrade first. If you were planning to use mainly swords, we could tell you which sword is better to upgrade first, in relations to your preferred farming grounds. Same with guns.

Only advice I can give right now is perhaps expand into haze bombs like freeze, shock, and fire. Or craft a bomber armour set. Or obtain missing pieces of your sword/gun bonus set like sword bonus body or gun bonus body.

Also invest in a shield. I know being shieldless seems cool, but the shield cancel and bumps are extremely valuable in anyone's skill set.

yeah, need to know what class

Although I'd like to oblige Monocelha, we need to know what "class" you want to be (pure sword, pure gunner, mix of swords and bombs, whatever). You can change this "class" whenever you want, so choosing it isn't a big deal. But you have to choose one, before we can give you any customized advice. And there is no right answer; class is personal preference, for how you want to play.

Bump

Trying

Ah I see you want to play the bump class. All you need is a shield which you are currently lacking. Just sell all your weapons and go buy one.

huh?

Willshock, you're willing to show up and bump, but you're not willing to answer my question in post #4? If you did, you might get some more responses from people.

An experienced 'bump class' will also craft BAB, so as to maximize the amount of bump delivered.

You could start by making

You could start by making your ash tail into vog, since you say you run FSC a lot. If you're confident you can avoid taking damage you could make skolver for the damage bonus. If your sword is your main weapon I'd upgrade that first. Decide if you want armor for your guns/bombs since you're hybriding. I think I went main wep>armor>shield>secondary weapons.

okay

I'm sorry; after re-reading your initial post, I know see that it contains all of the info I wanted. Did you re-edit it? I hope so.

For FSC, you'll want an elemental sword (your proto-Voltedge is great). For how most parties fight Vanaduke, you want a gun with a big charge attack (your Blitz Needle). Vortex bombs (your Electron Vortex) can really speed up a lot of tedious zombie-killing, but it's certainly optional. So you're well on your way.

For other areas, I'd recommend a piercing sword (your Barbarous Thorn Blade) with an elemental gun (your Argent Peacemaker). But really you've tried a fair number of weapons, so you probably have a good idea of what you want, and you don't need our advice.

You don't have any sworder armor, which is strange. Wolver is popular for a reason. I always recommend one piece of Vog Cub and one piece of Skolver. It's adequate for FSC, and the Skolver offensive bonus is really nice. Fiends may still chew you up, though; consider a little shadow armor if so.

trojan charge

The trojan charge is normal and shadow, according to the wiki. So I agree that you need shadow armor. Eventually, you'd like it to be Snarbolax. But that requires a Shadow Lair trip (or paying too much to buy it unbound). So consider Dread Skelly, Valkyrie, Shadowsun (if you gun often) --- those seem best. I wouldn't upgrade the Miracle Cloak --- sorry.
