I was wondering what was the best weapon that could go along with the gun Supernova, Right now Im thinking its either dread venom striker or Glacius.
Please reply ^_^

My supernova has Dmg bonus Gremlin low, which polaris wouldnt be very effective since it has elemental damage. The enemy I have most trouble with would probably be the Kats considering they are melee and ranged attackers. So maybe I can keep glacius with me :)
I actually do not like combuster because I think that freeze would give you an advantage to charge up again and repeat the process until the enemy is dead.
I couldnt find a particular weapon that would fit Supernova, Im probably going with an elemental weapon like Glacius or DA. And maybe if i become good at pvp (Like thatll happen) Ill make Voltedge ^_^
I don't think you should plan your equipment around a UV of gremlin: Low. That is not much of an advantage over no UV. If I were upgrading that item, I would certainly uncheck the UV, trying to get a better one. (I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just trying to give you an idea that better things are in your future.)
Focusing on elemental swords is a fine idea, if kats give you trouble. I agree that they are some of the hardest monsters. Have you read the explicit comparison between Combuster and Glacius in my sword guide? Combuster often just kills the enemy in one charge. Thus your argument for Glacius is not very compelling --- a dead monster is better than a frozen one. But they're both fine swords, so use what you like.
By the way, according to the customs of these forums, you are bumping your thread a bit too much. Your thread is still on the first page of the forum. Give people a chance to respond.
Yeah I guess I see your point. But I wasnt the one who put the UV, a random guy sold me the 2 star pulsar version for 20k and it had the UV so it was a really good snag. I also read Your calibur vs brandish section and I think the Levi blade is good since it said that the calibur line is good for emergencies. Ill think about combuster since I got four 4 star items needed to be made into 5 star xP
Thanks for the advice and help
I don't really agree with some of your statements, but it doesn't really matter. You'll be fine. Have fun.
For your case specifically, dread venom striker would be alright but kind of redundant, as supernova excels at killing priority targets and crowd control. I'd say that glacius wouldn't be a bad idea. Been starting to think that what battle sprite you have really dictates your gear more than anything at this point.
Well you've got that fire shield thing, and thats as much as I know about it. So yeah, I'd say that'd work well with glacius as you could use the fire thing as a last resort when you're getting swarmed by enemies.
Glacius's charge attack is basically like supernova at range, however, it's a bad idea to take TWO normal weapons because you won't be good against ANYTHING
Therefore, if Supernova is for range and knockback, I suggest BTB or Grand Flourish. One covers the other's weaknesses, more or less.
I think two normal weapons are a great idea because you wont be very good against anything, but you wont be very bad against anything either, no matter if you want to use a gun or a sword.
Edit: I reworded it.
Before anyone rips you apart for your somewhat flawed understanding of the game mechanics.
2 typed weapons will deal effective damage against 4 family types and neutral damage against 2. A typed weapon deals just as much base damage as its normal type counterpart. This means that with an elemental/piercing weapon setup, you would use piercing on gremlins and elemental on slimes. Everything else has a weakness to the weapons.
On the other hand, your 2 normal type will deal neutral damage to all 6 families. I suppose the benefit of this is that you don't have to remember to switch weapons.
I'd use a heavy sword, like WRH or DA.
The knockback/crowd control is needed quite often.
Since you have to get distance between yourself and the target with supernova, if someone/something gets past it, you can whack it with a giant hammer. Then shield cancel, move out of the way, rinse and repeat.
I do this with polaris.

But then you have a problem that both of your weapons are elemental. Unless you're in a specific locale (e.g. Firestorm Citadel) where that's okay, it's probably not okay. You'll be bad against gremlins and beasts, and not great against fiends and slimes either. As Demonicsothe pointed out, you really want to have two non-normal damage types (piercing, elemental, shadow), to maximize your overall damage against monsters. On the other hand, Skykillerthefirst's preference for two normal weapons is okay, for those players who value flexibility (using either weapon against any monster) over damage output.
Forgot to mention that I had a third weapon slot.
I usually fill it with a toothpick, which isn't such a bad idea.
The speed interrupts most attacks.
As for demonicsothe, since he has a normal gun, an elemental sword is acceptable.
This is assuming he has 2 slots.
Supernova has two advantages over Polaris:
To pair with Supernova, you could use something like Sudaruska. The two weapons will be able to push back anything within combat range for you between them; Suda against close things and Supernova against far things.
The charged shots have the same base damage for some reason.
That's just how the Roarmulus guns work. On Pulsars you don't care about the charge attack, so the charge attack is the same on both. With Catalyzers you don't care about the standard attack, so they're the same on both.
I have a detailed sword guide for people in your situation. There's even a section on mixing weapon types.
In your particular case, your gun is applicable to just about any enemy, so your sword doesn't have to fill any particular niche. What enemies are most difficult for you? You could pick your sword based on that. Have you considered Combuster instead of Glacius? Dread Venom Striker is fun, but not especially effective, and one of the hardest swords to use safely in Tier 3. My guide goes into lots of detailed comparisons.
By the way, is there a particular reason why you chose Supernova over Polaris? They're similar in style and knockback, but the latter has the advantages of shock and a specialized damage type.
