no Acheron
Acheron is a great sword in many places, but not in FSC. Almost everything in FSC resists it, so leave it at home. Everything else is cookie-cutter great.

needs moar cautery
...to be perfectly honest, you don't really need to replace it with anything. Your Glacius should do perfectly well to extinguish those Oilers, thus removing the need for a shadow-damage weapon. I suppose you could pack a DVS if you want to speed up mask-killing, but even then it's an optional maybe. Other potentially good additions would be an Electron Vortex, which will drastically improve damage efficiency if used correctly, a Shivermist Buster for obvious reasons, a Polaris if you feel the urge to suppress turret fire, a Venom Veiler/Voltaic Tempest for softening up Vanaduke and other enemies... none of these are completely necessary, but might make good additions to help out your playing style.
Of course, I get by with a Plague Needle and Fang of Vog in two weapon slots along with PMoS and Vog Cub Coat. Or PMoS and Shadowsun alongside Plague Needle and Nova Driver. But then I just don't like spending the extra money on opening up slots, because I like having the extra challenge of limiting my own choices and I am a masochist.

replacements for Acheron
Okay, I should have made suggestions for replacing Acheron. It slipped my mind because I use only three weapon slots. Many ideas were already mentioned by Aureate, but here we go:
* any weapon that you wish to heat
* Shivermist Buster, in case your party wants to freeze Vanaduke and doesn't have one
* Fang of Vog, if you have it, for slag guards
* a vortex bomb, which can speed up processing of crowds of zombies
* a normal sword such as Dread Venom Striker or Leviathan Blade, for Vanaduke mask phases

I'd swap it for a fast gun, like an Argent Peacemaker or an Alchemer if you know how to use them.
Also, I personally am a fan of Snarby in FSC over Vog.

You're all set for FSC. This doesn't mean you should stop crafting gear, of course, but that you don't NEED to plan your crafting around FSC anymore.
That said...if you are to bring two weapons most people would go Brandish and Blitz, which you already have. For a third weapon most would pick up an elemental gun, with AP being popular. Shiver is the common choice for a fourth weapon.
You don't see that many normal swords anymore, and for good reason imo. EV is fantastic...if your party knows how to work with one, which often isn't the case in FSC pugs.
I would suggest swapping out one piece of Vog for Snarby, and your Owlite for BTS or Swiftstrike.

:o
I use Divine set, CoA, Voltedge, Ap, Blitz, and Shiv; it's an all out set, and will work quite well in Ufsc. Most of my items have Uv, which I am too lazy to list. :s

I use Skolver set, grey
I use Skolver set, grey owlite shield, Voltedge and blitz.
I recommend Vog cub set to be resisted against fire.
You're set to kill many Vanadukes. Good luck!
