Ok,.. im confused of which equipment is good for Shadow Lairs.
My Current Equipment is:

Armor: Ashtail 4* (almost got Vog Cub Coat)

Helmet: Sepharic 4*

Sword: Glacius 5*

Handgun: Silversix

I've heard tht 1nce u finish all Shadow Lairs you get a Snarbolax Coat nd Cap... ''Is this True''?
Any suggestions appreciated :D

I would suggest that you do

I would suggest that you do SL's once you become full 5*.

Also, yes you can craft a Snarbolax coat or cap, but you need 1600 CE, 2 expensive 5* mats, and all that other jazz you shouldn't have to worry about.

After each shadow lair, you

After each shadow lair, you get a mat you can use to craft an armor or helm.

Your Ash Tail coat is pretty

Your Ash Tail coat is pretty much the only useful item you have for SL since I take it that you're doing SL Snarby.

Your elemental weapons weapons won't have much effect since the levels consist of beasts and they are resistant to elemental.

Although the Seraphic Helm wouldn't be completely useless.

huh?

Goldarchh, read the wiki page "Shadow Lair". The Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods is loaded with undead, in addition to beasts, with a poison theme. Seraphic and Ash Tail is one of the best 4-star armor setups you could have in SGWW. It makes sense. And elemental weapons are exactly what you want against those undead, although you're right that Bionec badly needs a piercing weapon.

Bionec, read "Shadow Lair" too. You seriously need a piercing weapon. What is your shield? Is there any possibility of getting more 5-star stuff? SGWW is hard. As Dukeplatypus says, you get a single material at the end, and you get unlimited access to the Sanctuary Alchemy Machine. So you'll be able to craft your Ash Tail Cap into a Snarbolax Cap (assuming you have 800 energy, 5000 crowns, and the rest of the materials, and the Ash Tail Cap is fully heated).

Goldarchh you are lucky

Bopp already answered it while i was logging in to attempt trolling you.
ok my two cents:
wear a mixture of skolver and any poison resist shadow gears
use dread skelly shield instead of CoA, BTS is another story if you have skills
use 3 weapon slots at least with a piercing sword, elemental gun and elemental sword, kk

also bringing a well prepared ash tail set and any other things for the craft, no 4* gears should be worn in SL

There's something to be said for bringing a plate shield to Shadow Lair Snarby. They can survive his pure-normal triple-bite.

You need normal and shadow defense! Forget piercing defense, of you are getting hit by solvers at all in a wolver den, shadow lairs are not for you. For the Snarby shadow lair there are solvers and undead everywhere. Howlzers and zombies will kill you more and lets be honest, wolvers are a joke. They are the least dangerous of all the monster families. That said, Get the Dread Skelly Suit and Helm and you will praise god for taking this advice. Equip a Dread Skelly shield and also make sure you have an ash tail coat and cap at lv 10 and all the materials ready. You will only get one knightmare mane so buy one at the AH. Then for weapons, you need a peircing and an elemental weapon. Then now that you have done all this, go find 3 other people who are ready and have them take you along as a fourth. Do not try to be a leader on your first SL, preferably get someone who has done this SL before and follow their advice. That said, I might do Rabid Snarbys again soon so feel free to ask me.

4-star gunslinger hat has shadow?

Well guys i got a 4* gunslinger hat, which has shadow defense.

Are you sure? What hat are we talking about? Sunset Stetson has normal and piercing defense.

Nd a silver six which i think is useless....

Why do you think it's useless? An elemental gun is exactly the kind of gun you want.

What shield shud i get?

For shields, I'd go with shadow (Crest of Almire, Dread Skelly, etc.). If not that, then piercing (Barbarous Thorn Shield for the offense).

Damn this is old xD Anyways

Anyways in case you were wondering still, piercing defense is necessary for the boss, which is why i would recommend your shield having it but i find having armor and shields having different resists being overall better than armor that slightly resists two things and a shield that resists one. Over all I'd say damage is key due to the fact that if it is dead it can't hurt you. The main threat leading up to the boss is from shadow dealing enemies as those are the turrets that usually spawn. Also if you can't get to the boss what is the point of being resistant to him? Also I would recommend practicing against the regular snarbolax since it's been a while since you last probably faced him. Try soloing him a few times and get used to his movements because the bosses of that shadow lair have the same attacks! (except they deal poison.)
