I'm planning to get a recipe with krogmo coins, but which weapon should I choose:
The Shock burst Brandish,
The Grintovec,
or the Toxic Needle?
Which weapon?
Magnicth is right in his comment. But really, for us to advise you, we'd have to know something about you. What weapons do you already have? For example, if you already have an elemental sword, then getting Voltedge is not a high priority. What is your play style? Sworder, gunner, bomber, mix? If bomber, then damage or support? Help us help you.
Get Electron Vortex. Unless you absolutely hate bombs. Hell even if you're a swordie, EV makes it super easy to massacre large clusters of enemies.
Toxic needle is arguably the worst krogmo weapon.
I have the fireburst brandish, but what if there is a fire theme level?
I have the kamarin, but I think the grintovec is much better because of freeze.
I have the autogun, and I think the poison might be good.
I'm not a bomber, but from what you said, I might get a bomb.
BUT, which weapon do you think is the best?
It's fine to get a bomb, but let's make sure your reasons are solid. Combuster is not weak in fire levels; it's just as strong there as Acheron is anywhere, and arguably still stronger than Voltedge or Glacius. You can take Triglav over Sudaruska, but the general consensus (insofar as there is one) favors Sudaruksa. Similarly, you can opt for Blight Needle over Blitz, but the consensus is against it. The consensus is not always right, but just be aware that you're disagreeing with it. Anyway, enjoy whatever you get.
Actually, no. If you can't cause the status effect, Acheron SHOULD be stronger on neutral enemies than Combuster simply by virtue of no status. As for Voltedge and Glacius, they may do theoretically less damage, but they make up for it with crowd control. Fire has no effect whatsoever on enemy movement.
As far as triglav, someone posted a thread just a few days ago saying how AWESOME triglav was so I think the difference is a matter of preference and not a flat out "triglav is always worse".
This isn't a suggestions thread. Neutral Acheron does the same damage as neutral Glacius. That's the fact.
GRINTOVEC
CAUSE IT'S EPIC!
but in alll honesty, shockburst is a wise swordie choice.
Brandishes are universal, so it will not be bad choice. Great charge.
Troika line is pretty strong, but slow - being slow can be dangerous, but remember about it's power. Charge pretty good to PvE.
Toxic needle is useless, because poison don't have serious impact, when you can cause more damege with Blitz needle.
I've tried it for the poison but i pretty muchly hated it. The poison definitely gives your teammates a slight boost in the damage department but the poison only hits like once per few charges. Plus, you deal about 10 damage less than a blitz per shot, that makes you deal around 150 damage less than the average blitz. The poison really doesn't cover the lack of damage imo but it does give decent poison, your choice though. I recommend shockburst, the shockburst is a major killer with zombies and can occasionally stop them mid-attack and it's awesome in vana or lockdown, it's a versatile weapon you can use nearly everywhere except shock themes. Grintovec is decent but i doubt you go around charging that sword to get freeze right(lol). I wouldn't recommend the toxic needle either due to the massive damage lack. Just what i think, you don't have to take my advice if you don't want to.
Bear in mind poison is a mostly DEFENSIVE debuff (drops enemy attack much more than enemy defense). Also the Troika line specializes in knockback as well as damage. The charge attack is like a bomb in sword form. On one hand, the disjointed hitbox means you can hit enemies without practically touching them like leviathan blade has to, but on the downside, it doesn't hit behind you at all. You have to fight like a Trojan.
I have electron charge and a magnus now. But I have to choose between the Grintovec and Shockburst Brandish.
I have the Kamarin and the Fireburst Brandish.
Decisions, Decisions,
Which is better, Stun or Freeze?
Which is better, Fire or Shock?
If freeze better than stun, the Grintovec will be my choice.
If shock is better than fire, the Shockburst will be my choice.
But, do I choose Grintovec OR Shockburst Brandish?

If you want to ask whether Voltedge is better than Combuster, then just ask that, instead of asking whether shock is better than fire. In general, I do think that shock is more useful than fire. But in Brandishes fire is better than shock, because shock sometimes prevents monsters from riding the entire Brandish charge attack. Indeed, if I were choosing among Combuster, Voltedge, Sudaruska, and Triglav, then I would certainly choose them in that order.
Depends on your needs. It might be easier to help you if you told us what weapons you use, what armor you use, what you run, and which weapon type you prefer.
-Voltedge: shock status brandish, great charge attack, very useful for constructs and undead and especially in FSC.
-Triglav: Freeze status troika, smashing charge attack, is slow however. Has a better chance to freeze than suda and can freeze on second hit. normal damage, so is good for basically anywhere. With its slowness, however, you will need to get used to it. Also pairs very well with Electron Vortex.
-Plague Needle: poison status autogun. Piercing, and is very good for Lord Vanaduke fights. Trades a little damage for the poison, but not much. Good for beasts and fiends.
Other options:
-Stagger Storm: stun status mist bomb. Can be very helpful in a wide variety of situations. Status control bomb.
-Electron Vortex: shock status vortex. Wonderful for clumping enemies together for controlled charge attacks. Good crowd control. Elemental, good for constructs and undead. Goes absolutely wonderful with triglav.
