Hello. So I was wondering wether I ghould get a 5* Shield, Armor, Helm, or weapon first. It's kind of hard choosing which one to create. On my other character I did it all in one go. At this point, I am unable to do so. So which one should be first when I get my orbs?

You're forgetting that she probably can't heat it... well, that isn't strictly true. If you have enough radiants to get it to around level 8, then go for the weapon.

Otherwise upgrade your armor first, as upgrading your weapons will cost you damage.

Thx.

He*.

And thx. I'll probably go armor first then. I'm planning on farming radiants in FSC. I might as well use WRH Until I have enough for heating.

OCH is better than FSC for farming radiants.

I'd go for shield. depending on which one you have. if you have aegis line then don't bother, if you have plate then get volcanic plate shield right away, it's invaluable in FSC. Big amount of normal + stun defence for trojans, fire defence for just about everything else. If it has elemental or shadow it would probably be considered OP. Hell, at heat level 1 it can take a hit from vana's mace. not many shields can do that, the only other one I know of is omega shell, and that's because it has 20% extra health.

it also depends on your armour. if you're getting skolver, then get that first, as offence is clearly more important to you than defence. If you're using plate, or a decent shield, then do the shield first. It's all depending on what your playstyle and such is.

You should still go with shield though.
