l have and asi low autigun and a ctr low one. which one should l upgrade?

ctr cuz the charge is so good (high at lvl 10)

or

asi because it takes so long to shoot (high because l wear the armor that gives asi med to guns)?

or should l get a fiend high one so I'll have med asi, med ctr, and hi dmg vs fiends.

preferably CTR

the Blitz Needle's charge attack destroys Vanaduke, so you should definitely try to reduce your charging time

Agreed metagenic

I agree with metagenic. Piercing already does high damage against fiends (trojans) so there's no need for a fiend bonus. Upgrade the CTR you won't regret it.

It depends if you are talking

It depends if you are talking about getting trinkets or have a UV. CTR is going to be more valuable for Blitz in and outside of FSC

If you have a UV very high or high CTR, then

1. Go ASI trinkets if you solo blitz a lot on Vana, because the charge is thrown out faster + makes you more dodgey
2. Go damage trinkets if you have someone spamming shiver because you don't have to worry about being dodgey

If you do not, then I would not go with CTR trinkets just for Vanaduke. I mean, he's just one boss and thats quite a lot of money dumped just for Vana - there will be future content and it isn't like Vana is difficult anyway especially with derp patch

Anyways, outside of FSC, Blitz charge is nice - but as a gunner, not worth wasting 2 trinket slots just for the charge. Blitz should be coupled, as a gunner, with a Callahan because blitz is not a gun to be used in every situation. Only a few, which is why you should be getting gun damage trinkets > CTR.

Now if you are someone that likes alchemers + blitz charges and use the charges a ton and have great split bullet clipping positioning, then maybe 2 CTR trinkets would be interesting, though remember you are sacrificing damage for that.

and if you're a swordsman do whatever a swordsman would do guns shouldn't matter to you outside of Vana

Swordie trinks as you

Swordie trinks as you said

For a UV go CTR.

"I don't mean trinkets, just armor/uvs"

Gunner armor is crap for gunners. We just wear it by default as it is the best OOO can do.

i.e no.

hmm...

Saw someone using swiftstrike buckler, nameless poncho, shadowsun stetson, 2 elite trueshot module and blitz needle with vh ctr.
He got max ctr, ultra damage, ultra asi on blitz needle, and he's a beast at killing vana.
Fiend bonus is useless if you're using 2 elite trueshot module.
