So. Basically.
Chaos set
Swift strike shield
Glacius or combuster. With asi low
Acheron with asi low
Barabrous thorn blade with asi low
Polaris.
Dmg bonus med trinket
ASI Med trinket

Pros.
So. CTR Max for all level 10 heated equipment.
ASI Max for all swords. Very high for all guns ( Polaris i use nothing else )
Dmg bonus maximum for all swords. And very high for all guns and bombs.
Weapon for everything. Polaris is useful for knocking back stuff. Long range , killing turret too. I have a really big allergy to puppy turrets all kinds..
Would be super overpowered in LD
Shield is only 3 stars. Can be bought for auction house and saves 1200 ce and 7500 crowns a ton of mats too.
Magic cloak/hood are super easy to find and super cheap
Can do damage in all kinds and 2 kinds of annoying status. Maybe exchange acheron for combuster when your sure there will not be any shadow weak creature.
Cons.
Swift strike shield is a 3 star item. In vanaduke it won't even take the fire breath of a zombie. I think. Tho it can be used to shield bump tho :)
Biiiiig hole in defensive capabilities for lots of statuses. Most importantly are fire , ice and shock , Those are the most common afterall.
Can be worked through by getting Fire def , ice def and shock def maximum on shield helm and armor.
Apparently the chaos set looks [crap]. It needs a good costume.

Questions.
How would the swift strike do in a 5 star mission such as vana?
If i get max for fire , ice and shock on all three items. Even with the terrible weakness of the chaos set for fire ice and shock. Can i be immune to them? Ya know i see people who cannot be set on fire or be frozen. Can that effect take place if i have max for fire ice and shock on my helm armor and shield?
What is the lowest uv needed on each armor helm in this case the chaos set and the shield the swift strike in order to be immune to those certain types of.. Status XD
When i charge the glacius ( i am all about charging in fighting ) The ice balls that throw out in a line. Ya know. We get about 5 explosions. When the first explosion touches the undead they freeze? and the rest damage that the ice balls do is pretty much wasted right? In the combuster. The charge actually drags enemies all the way till the end. Will that happen with glacius. And instead of them coming out burned. They are waiting thier death at the end of the line of ice balls frozen? or they stick to staying at the first ball frozen and probably doing the flame air attack thing and burning me :(

Sorry if my grammar is bad. I am kinda tired and sleepy so.. XD

-Swifstrike will get destroyed mostly in 1 hit, 2 if you are lucky (varies depending on monster, weakening the enemy with poison helps).
-You can't get immunity with UVs on Chaos. You can only counter the weakness and get a slight defense.
-On LD, you'll need heart pendants. And you don't see people charging swords that often. A skolver with only damage would be just fine (I hate clones, but everyone ends up using it for a reason)

The set is good if used by an experienced player, but full chaos can be a challange for unprepared people (and UVs to counter it's weakness are expensive and hard to get). You should start off with a single piece of Chaos

And maybe a Barbarous Shield instead of swiftsrike.
Note that you still need a 5* shield to get mission clearance, you can't become a vanguard with only swiftstrike anyways.

I am already a vanguard and i

I am already a vanguard and i am quite experienced. I also have cursed experience of using a normal / shadow with a super high fire weakness armor. That thing that looks like a robe. To do vana hundreds of times on another char. Plus i got 2 years of experience. :). And i am not that much of a LD Player.
I am already a full 5 star.. I got the skolver set. Barbarous shield a combuster and a little silversix. Damn i had about 7 4 star guns now. Ice alchemer , silver , black hawk etc. I know uvs are expensive and super dooper hard to get. But that set is to be made in the long run. Looking into the deep distant future XD Did i mention i love cookies?

after skimming

I've only skimmed the post, but you are right to be skeptical of Glacius' charge. I compare the elemental Brandishes in detail here. Glacius is fun, and it's nicely defensive, but you seem like a highly offensive player, so I would recommend Combuster.

Swiftstrike's protection is really poor. A still-offensive-but-more-defensive option would be Barbarous Thorn Shield.

The good news is that Chaos Cloak, Chaos Cowl, and Barbarous Thorn Shield give you CTR+6 and damage+6 against all monsters. If you're into charging Brandishes, then you just pretty much won the game. There is no longer much point in getting UVs on most items. Just try to get status UVs on Chaos gear, and Chaos takes care of the rest.
