I'm thinking about rage-crafting/buying a shock max Wolver set for Lockdown but a question popped up, what will it be in 5* ?
(Vog may not be an option since I feel lucky with speed variants and I want the maximum of damage available)
Please discuss nicely, we strikers have a heart too :3

I'll make a compilation of the pros & cons here:

1/ Full Skolver Set

.Toothpick's pure piercing
.Normal def. can handle the sealed sword's normal damage
.Natural immunity to shivermist

2/ Skolver / Snarbolax mix

.Normal def. can handle the sealed sword's normal damage

Thinslayer

Snarbolax if you can.

Snarbolax has the more valuable defenses. Fiends and undead are more dangerous than Wolvers and slimes to a swordsman.

Everyone has flourishes -pure piercing.
And a slight poison/shadow defense isn't important.

Buuut outside of LD, we have GitM with shadow + shock.

He is talking about Lockdown, Thinslayer?

Skolver. Skolver. Skolver.
I don't care if you make Skovler, Vog or Snarbolax. But when you feel like quitting the game and sell your stuffs...Skolver Shock Max worth MUCH more.
And in LD many people use FF/BTB and they have pure piercing damage. Gran Faust/Acheron deal half Shadow and Normal damage so you can reduce some of the damage by using armours that have Normal defense so it can be skolver or any wolver line. But FF/BTB deal pure piercing damage so you have to wear piercing defense which is only skolver for sword man.
Also GF is slower than FF so it is easier to dodge.

You can be immune to shivermist buster and tempest by using Shock max skolver so that only stagger storm will stop your movement. It is a big advantage. (You can be immune to shiver with Skolver/Snarbolax too but the reason above I recommend full skolver)
