i have enough CE To only craft the 4 star version of each and i was wondering which i should craft to 5 star first?I plan on doing alot of FSC Solo's and sometimes in a party.I Also heard the Combuster forces zombies to ride the full charge attack.I've also seen some people use Electron Vortex+Brandish charge to InstaKO Some enemies :3

You can't really compare DA
You can't really compare DA to the others. It's slower, has a different charge attack, and no status.

Processing Thoughts of You Always
why are you recommending WHB
All it does is look cool. In all other respects, it is a terrible sword.
Flourishes outdo it in pretty much every regard, giving flinch ability, damage bonus against fiends as well as beasts and leaving you vulnerable for far less time. Both WHB and DVS do the same damage against non-beasts, and given that it's pretty easy to max out sword damage even without trinkies, you're losing out on the poison ability of the DVS.
The only thing that WHB has going for it is the marginal increase in range and the sexy-looking charge attack. Not to mention, he wasn't even asking for something to handle Beasts. Read the question.
@OP: DA is good at dealing with large quantities of enemies, being able to do a ton of knockback on normal hits. It also staggers reliably on normal hits, and its charge hits like a sledgehammer for well over 1000 potential damage with the right positioning, the projectiles dragging enemies across the screen. It's a heavy sword, though, meaning it may take some time to get used to.
Combuster and Glacius are both good at dealing with single enemies, with their hit areas being much smaller. However, they can outdamage the DA in this respect. In addition, their charges are good at dealing with large quantities of enemies, the Combuster being purely damage-focused and the Glacius being more crowd control oriented. Both are excellent swords. (Voltedge has a mix of damage and crowd control, but requires Lockdown games to acquire.)
Mostly the answer is a matter of personal opinion.

Brandish
I love my Brandish for FSC.... BUT the Divine Avenger is more useful in LD your choice really.
Your choice.
Combuster- Zombies ride the wave, high damage on charge. Charge does a lot of push-back.
Glacius- Freezes stuff, good crowd control.
D.Avenger- Knockback, good crowd control.
Glacius and DA are good for soloing, but combuster works well, again it depends on your taste (DA may be better since it can knockback on normal swings, whereas glacius has to charge to freeze, and combuster charges to push back monsters; this is in terms of crowd control/ survivability)
PS I'll bet someone's gonna tell you to use a search bar
