I'm looking for gear to counteract the flourish and other piercing swords in Lockdown. Any suggestions?

This seems to be exceptionally difficult. Does anyone use the Magnus line without auto-aim? Is it worth it to try to learn to do this? The issue is, in Lockdown with auto-aim it's very difficult to hit moving targets that aren't directly in front of me.

I recently found out that my Cryo Driver line was not on par with the other alchemers, so I was wondering, should I craft a Storm Driver or Nova Driver?
I already found out the damage of both, thanks to the gracious testers in my previous thread. Link is here.

Now I'm looking for rather opinions. Just give me your initial thought. Or if you've tested them that would be great as well.
Thanks! Already got some great opinions in that forum, but still looking for more! I am looking for a all around gun, including FSC.

This is a big question in terms of armor and weapons. Or a few questions, rather.
Question 1:
Should I upgrade my Ash Tail Coat to a Vog Cub or a Skolver? If neither, which armor should I switch to?
Question 2:
Should I stay with Silent Nightblade and upgrade it to Acheron, or switch to a Divine Avenger/Gran Faust?
Question 3:
Should I upgrade my Graviton Charge, or switch to a different bomb?

Thanks for your time!

I really need to get a new sword; the arc razor only does normal damage so it isn't good for lockdown. So I was wondering which three star sword to get thanks.

I'm almost always leveling something, but am running out of things I feel like I really need. Maybe a driver or two? Nova and Hail or something? I dunno. Here's what I currently have...

Swords
Divine Avenger, Gran Faust, Leviathan, Acheron, Combuster, Glacius, Barbarous Thorn Blade

Handguns
Polaris, Blitz Needle

Bombs
Ash of Agni, Shivermist Buster, Voltaic Tempest, Nitronome, Radiant Sunshards, Electron Vortex

Helms/Armor
Vog Cub, Skolver, Divine, Mad Bomber, Volcanic Demo

Shield
Aegis, Grey Owlite Shield, Barbarous Thorn Shield

pretty much what the title says, its gotta be over 4kCE

starting bid: 4kCE
buyout: 8kCE

this would decidmate jk if u made it a faust/gran faust, and it would help a bit with the blast cubes and slags at FSC, either way.

undead uv is good on a DA, and slime is rly good on a GF............ come and buy the weapon of mass-slime destruction! :D

why cant we refill enrgey instantly and we should get 200 a day for being in a guild can we have that?

Hello my fellow knights! This topic is for your choice in load-out; which do you prefer?
-Gun and sword.
-Gun and gun.
-Sword and sword.
-Gun and bomb.
-Sword and bomb.
-Bomb and bomb.

Can't decide if I should go with Combuster, Voltedge, or Glacius alchemy path. Wiki recommends Voltedge or Glacius, but is the Combuster useful anywhere?
