Is VH the best you can do, or do these go to Max?

They deal so much knockback it allows you to push anything and everything into a corner and keep it there for as long as you want. Lumbers? Pulsar. Zombies? Pulsar. Gremlins? Pulsar. Crippling fear of your inevitable death? Pulsar has got your back on anything you want to get as far away from you as possible. Thit brings me to my main point. The description says "A high-tech Gremlin firearm designed for use by elite squads of Ironclaw soldiers." How come we have never seen a single gremlin use one? And how come Brinks has so many and sells them for the relatively low price of 15 bark tokens?

So i just bought a full regal node slime set, shield sword and costume (so cool :3)
but from what I remenbered the sudaruska was a lot stronger than that, I remenber being able to use a khorovod on fsc whithout much suffering with that crazy charge attack, but it seens to be inconstant, much of the times I use the charge it ends up hitting only once instead of the double hit it did,
and i dont know if im using it wrong or if it has been nerfed.

Full chaos armor and most of the time the mobs survive a charge on elite solo.

Doesn't any of you find it weird that even though the wolvers themselves are resistant to elemental and weak to piercing, the armor made out of their hide is actually resistant to piercing and weak to elemental? The slime armor makes sense, slime resist piercing so do their armor but the wolver armor is reversed.

im making a wild hunting blade, and maybe i will also make a DVS later, i know that the WHB may not be the best weapon but i have tons of fun with the cutter and i want that interrupt effect on the charge attack.
but im in doubt about which of the wolver armor should i get, the skolver or the vog, im also working on the Barbarous thorn shield.
my set will be one of these armor the WHB and a gun or bomb as sidearm, probably the valiance since i already have a blaster and all the recipes.

And I don't know which choice I should pick.
The good old fashioned attack speed has been working fine for me, but then we got the shadow-defense changing me to damage up, or this other armor doing other things, it's just too hard to pick a choice out of all of these.

My gun collection is rather... Minimal. Im planning on getting Phantamos and a Callahan/Iron Slug?
Though sometimes I just swing my sword around cause it's a bit easier.

I got an Owlite shield and I'll get Almire Crest soon so I got elemental and shadow covered. I don't care for piercing damage much so I was thinking about getting the Grand Tortoise. Is that a good choice or is there a reason for getting the others instead?

Maybe I'm asking for too much but
why in the actual fuck does the Trokia a 2-star sword, have fair when the Sudaruska a 5-star sword has slight?
What kind of fucking backwards world is this?
Someone, please help me understand if this game works the way I think it does and statuses are Slight, Fair, Good
Then why doesn't the Sudaruska a weapon that looks like it's literally about to fucking bust a nut full of stun not have Fair or Good?

is it a good idea to make a set with only a grim repeater and blitz needle? right now i have dark chaingun and needle shot and im doing quite well, i wish to only have two weapons because i dont plan on buying those weapons slots(at least not until later on)
I was planning to make it with the seerus mask (I have the expansion) and a shadowsun slicker, the shield will be the free one from the missions since there are no gun shields(maybe swiftstrike but my net is slow so i might need the shield)
so what you most experienced guys think about this?

I'm currently on Rank 5-2, 2 missions away from fighting the Jelly Boss as part of the story mode. Right now, I have been rewarded with 3 Advanced Orbs and some recipes to upgrade my 2-Stared Cobalt Armor Set and Weapons to their 3-Stared variant. However, I don't have enough Orbs to craft the entire set, meaning that I will have to farm crowns to get energy to purchase them from the market, or I'll just have to keep grinding in order to, hopefully, get the as drops.
