@Shocking Beats, Jayenna
Indeed! There are a few reasons that the Skolver+Divine Veil combination is considered the best of the three.
Divine Veil has three resistances while maintaining a damage bonus and the same defences, which makes it objectively better if all resistances, defences, and abilities were considered equal. This is not the case, though.

  • Piercing is widely regarded as the least dangerous damage type. Divine Veil has Shadow and Elemental defence instead, which is especially useful in Elite when playing T3, where there's very little normal damage, aside from Lumbers and Trojans and such.
  • Shock and Fire are without a doubt two of the most desirable resistances.
    • Fire resistance reduces both duration and damage per tick, which means that the power of the fire is greatly reduced by resistance. Notably, you'll find Fire in the popular Firestorm Citadel.
    • Shock is probably the most lethal status as it will stop you dead in your track every once in a while and if you're not positioned well, you're gonna get smacked in the face by something hard.
  • The Fiend damage bonus is very neat as Fiends are widely regarded as the most dangerous enemies in the game.

Mewkat. I already have one, though.

I'm sure I've died plenty of times running IMF because of Shock. Stupid Quicksilvers.

Also, how about one that hasn't been put in a monster pocket?

That's a hard one. I like cats, as you might have noticed. I'll post another answer if I can come up with one.

Frankly I haven't thought about it much. Now that I have time to think, I suddenly realized that I don't want to know.

Also, what's a cat? How do you pronounce it? Like Kat?

Are you sure about bombing? I thought LD gunners were more violent than LD bombers, similar to Striker clones.

I think Nitro bombers are way more impressive, although perhaps not as effective. Still, there's no way you can just walk through a Nitro without being harmed or knocked back (unless you're a guardian).

Have you wanted to set something on fire with your combuster, flash freeze something with your Glacius, and/or fry something with your voltedge? Or maybe eat grilled Devilite on a stick?

I tried once. Turns out, Punch knows how to pack a punch.

@Sonosuke
I often do that with my enemies. As for my diet, it's strictly limited to Skolver clone flesh (yes indeed I am a cannibal). I'm often encouraged to consume the genitalia of males but I refrain from it due to risk of disease.

Does anyone think RS + vog would be a good combo? Also leviathan blade or CIV? leaning toward CIV for FSC

@Tiraid

The Radiant Silvermail+Vog Cub Cap combo is respectable, but I would not call it better than Divine Veil+Skolver Coat. The matter was discussed a while ago in this very thread. Here's a link to the post that began said discussion. Don't forget the post on top of this page, either.

As for Levi vs CIV, there are a few things you need to consider.
If you're primarily a swordsman, I do NOT recommend Cold Iron Vanquisher. When you start getting more damage bonuses through gear later in the game, CIV will be obsoleted. Additionally, you'll want Levi's extra damage when using the charge vs Trojans and turrets, which you find in FSC. No matter, there's more to SK than FSC. For your own sanity's sake, I suggest you play The Arcade and other missions.

No matter, getting Levi or CIV in the first place might not be the best idea. If you're looking for the plain most powerful swords in the game, consider getting Combuster and Acheron. I suggest you hop over to this guide by Bopp for comparisons.

Already planning on Acheron. And as for my sanity's sake, TOO LATE SUCKERS!!! :D
and thanks to your sound advice (and the fact that I havnt done it yet) I will probably go for levi, since im pretty sure it gives you the recipe anyway
as for divine, ill probably end up getting vog, since im so sick of getting banged up by constrcuts

Divine Veil+Skolver Coat will give you as much protection against Constructs as Radiant Silvermail+Vog Cub Coat. The former will (in my opinion) grant you better resistances, though. Most notably, Shock resistance.

Looks or utility? If you suddenly got a spore in the brain causing you to be obsessed with the CIV, say, would you craft that almost immediately?

Just the helm, although I have a Heavenly Guardian costume set which means that I can use the armour from that with the helm for a similar look.

@Sandwich Potato
Normal snipe. Gobblesnipes are too heavy, they'd fall off my hat.
