I have a Vog Cub Coat and Cap. Both give me a Sword Attack Speed Increase of Medium. Does that mean that they combine to give me a sword attack speed increase of Very High? And if so, would a sword UV of Attack Speed be wasted since Very High is the highest you can go to?

I'm mainly a gun user in the game, and the gun I use is the Sentenza. The thing that really got me hooked on the antigua series was the nice 5* charged attack, the pushback of the owl is great and I've even seen it hit the same enemy 4+ times, but also the 6 shot burst it has.

I probably should have gone with the argent, considering how weak the sentenza is against a lot of mobs, but I love the look and feel for the gun. Maybe I'm just choosing aesthetics over functionality and damage, but when paired with a gravaton vortex you can unleash hell.

Fiends going down, bro.

I'm wondering how elemental weaknesses stack across your gear. More specifically, I have a skelly helm, a magic cloak, and an owlite shield. Does the skelly helm's fire weakness get canceled out by the shield and cloak's fire resistance? I may end up keeping the skelly only for cosmetic purposes (thinking about replacing it with the chroma line), but as a low end Tier-2 knight I want to spend my money carefully. I'm also aware that varnaduke's attacks do fire damage; would the fire weakness be detrimental or would he just destroy me regardless :P ? Any advice about my armor is welcome.

I currently have a Cold Iron Vanquisher and wear Vog Cub Coat and Cap. I was going to start working on a Leviathan and have been crafting caliburs with leftover mist energy. Here are the UV's I've kept so far:

tempered calibur with medium ASI
calibur with damage bonus vs construct high
calibur with damage bonus vs undead low
calibur with CTR low

I'd appreciate any suggestions on which one I should upgrade. I was leaning toward the medium ASI so I could end up with Ultra ASI with the Vog bonuses. Another option would be to keep crafting on days I don't play.

Is there a clearly 'better' one of the three? I hear Final Flourish is superior, on the basis that "it does the most damage, while the others have lackluster status effects".

Thoughts?

I am highly intrigued by the new guns.
I want to get one of them with the new tokens, but am on the fence.

I got a good sense of the catalyzer mechanic from this video.

Does anyone know of a video of the pulsar, or could post one?

Thanks!

[THIS IS THEORY AND HAS NOT BE TESTED]

First of all, I would like to say this is a hunch, but I believe it can be tested and I invite others to do so. This guess about how the system works is mostly from thinking about stuff in this thread.

So I think every piece of resist gear you have applies a multiplicative modifier to incoming damage. What this means is that your first piece of gear for each type of resist is super valuable, while subsequent pieces of resist gear provide diminishing returns.

the weakness or the UV? IE Magnus with UV VH vs Beast...would the damage be caculated (damage x weakness x UV) or (damage x UV x weakness) or do they add so it would be (damage x weakness+UV)?

Any information would be greatly appriciated as it would help me determine which UVs are more beneficial for which weapons.

the title is somewhat self explanatory. Which sword does more, the barbarous thorn blade or the final flourish. (Assuming no UV and general situation)

Im sitting right now with a final flourish that i made before the arrival of snarb and im considering making a barbarous thorn blade.
