So, here is my problem, i use a shivermist buster and polaris to act as the support bomber in FSC. The problem is, i found myself in trouble when facing the trojan, sure i can freez them but there is noway for me to damage them. I have 1.1K CE which is enough to raise a 2* gear to a 5* gear, so the problem is what should I make?
What weapon best fit pair up with shivermist in FSC?

Well, IMO
Speaking as someone that mainly plays support in FSC:
If you're fighting Trojans as a support bomber, you're doing it wrong. Use status hazes besides freeze such as venom veiler or voltaic tempest to create opportunities for your teammates or make them more effective. Shard bombs will give you a large area of damage to add to your teammates', if a little unwieldy. Dread briar barrage (the 5* version of the snarbolax reward token bomb) is a personal favorite as a "sidebomb", though a sword or gun is usually good to carry with it thanks to the oilers and puppies.
Also, Polaris is the worst possible weapon to use with shiv. No close range effectiveness (where a bomber is weak), weak damage per shot to use on a frozen target, and the shock can break your freeze. Not to mention it's an annoying as crap gun.
If you must only use 2 weapons, use a sword with shiv. Brandish lines will be easy to use and spamming their charge will help you with short to medium range threats. If you MUST fight Trojans, blitz needle is the obvious companion. However, if you do use blitz I would strongly suggest investing in a third weapon slot and bringing a sword as well, because blitz essentially has the same weakness in terms of usability as bombs.

Snarbolax Items
One method to kill trojans is to spam DBB (which stands for dark briar barrage, easy mistake to make randomzz) while circling around the trojan and so he repeatedly gets spiked in the back.
Another option is to use flourish charge attacks on a shivering trojan, which does quite good damage and lets you have a weapon which you can use in panic.

For a frozen Trojan, try Blitz. For a frozen anything, try Neutralizer. Neutralizer charges do not break freeze.

Well, if you're a support player...
Get Glacius and Blitz with your shiv if you have 3 slots, and if only two, Shiv and Glacius or Blitz and the bomb that busts shivery mist.

orr...
Make like crazy diamond who forgets to switch out his shadow weapons on FSC, and just kill the trojan with the shiver :D
Metagame says blitz....
Bombers say DBB/shards...
Swordies would tell you to pick up a rapier of some fashion...
Gunners would laugh.
You should consider becoming a shadow defender if you wanna play a support role... I hear they're awesome for support and stuff.
Anyway, I'm gonna say that for a supportive role, consider using Plague Needle, Sudaruska, Scintillating Sun Shards, Nitronome (sometimes simple blue-screen of death is best case), Furious Flamberge (trojans do light), or Fearless Rigadoon.
