Bombing Guide

Have you read the Bombing Guide on the wiki? That's a good place to start.

As I explain in my sword guide, many sword-oriented players like crowd-control bombs such as Voltaic Tempest, Shivermist Buster, Graviton Vortex, and Electron Vortex. Then you can charge your sword into the crowd, for example. But all kinds of bomb are okay. Damage bombs are fun, and status bombs are effective in team play.

It all depeneds on your play style....

If you Solo a lot and you're only looking for 1 bomb then I'd recommend the Nitronome. It has HUGE Knockback and doesn't deal low damage to any monsters. Extremely useful for large groups of Greavers. And when your just surrounded everywhere. It can be a life saver.

Depends. If you're mostly a swordsman, then either get a haze bomb, Nitro (For the above reason), or a vortex bomb. Personally, I'd go with Nitro, due to its accessibility.

'good' against a 'lot of

'good' against a 'lot of monsters' has different meanings on what you want the bomb to do. There are status effects for control, damage or blast types that are easy to chain attacks together without needing alot of bomber gear, but there's also blast effect as some bombs, like the briar bomb types, can trip up small enemies, so while the damage might not be the best against everything, the trip effect could work well against swarms.

As primarily a swordsman, you might not want a bomb with a vision-obstruction explosion either. But alot of this stuff does get answered in looking at the wiki, so I'd suggest checking there too.

Haze Bombs

A Shivermist Buster or Voltaic Tempest might be the best bomb for you. You can use it to handicap lots of monsters and then go in for the kill with your sword.

Usually a Shivermist Buster and/or a Voltaic Tempest can give you the breathing room you need, without the chaos caused by a Nitro. Nitros have really crazy amounts of knockback, in addition to being visually distracting, making it rather bad for parties. Shivers and VTs act more like pause buttons, not the "everyone GTFO" panic button of a Nitro.
