Hey everyone!
Im kind of at a standstill with the game as far as gear goes.... Not sure what i should purchase next....

So i have since a couple months ago switched to bombing for a while...
I mainly run FSC for the crs profit and my FSC bomber gear is this:

ARMOR:
Mad Bomber Suit
Volcanic Demo Helm
Volcanic Plate Shield (UV Piercing MAX)

BOMBS:
Dark Briar Barrage (UV vs Undead med)
Shivermist
Voltaic Tempest
Nitronome (UV vs Undead me)
Radiant Sun Shards

So the two UV'd bombs i have coupled with the damage boost from mad bomber suit = ultra damage... I love it! :)

MY QUESTION IS:
what should i get next as far as bombs go?

I have the 3* versions of the grav bomb and the fire bomb...
not sure if they are worth upgrading...

Now for swords:

ARMOR:
Fallen Armor
Valkyrie Armor
Vog Coat
Skolver Coat
Radiant Silvermail

Fallen Helm
Ancient Plate Helm
Vog Cap

Leviathan
Barbarous Thorn Blade
Acheron
Combuster
Vile Striker
Divine Avenger

Volcanic Plate Shield
Grey Owlite Shield
Barbarous Thorn Shield

Any other gear i should try? swords?
Should i upgrade to the DVS? (5* of vile striker)
Should i try out the slower swords?

TL;DR - Just looking for some advice on any fun gear/weapons i should try out....

For swords: You have all the damage types covered (piercing, elemental, shadow), and all of the styles covered (Brandish, Sealed, rapier, cutter, 360-degree charger). So there is nothing crucial that you're missing. Maybe try Fang of Vog, which has poor regular attacks but an insane charge attack? The Troika swords are unfortunately not good; get one only if you're really a collector.

For bombs: The obvious omission is a decent vortex bomb. I don't have either one, but people say that the vortex bombs don't really mature until 5-star. So upgrade your Graviton?

For guns: You don't seem interested, but you're pretty much done with swords and bombs, so get interested?

For bombs, both fire and

For bombs, both fire and graviton are definitely worth upgrading :
- trinkets ? You didn't talked about that
- fire with shock is a great dps combo for huge crowds
- graviton/electron, coupled with good teamates, can clear things VERY fast. And it's fun too.
- if you often use freeze, venom veiler makes a good combo with shivermist.

As for your swords, some nice additions would be :
- trinket too ?
- Snarbolax armor to have some shadow armor with swords bonus
- DVS, although not that good, is fun to use, it is worth the try. It's good against Vanaduke mask phase (perhaps superior to Leviathan, but i didn't do the maths)
- a shadow shield for those pesky devilities is totally worth it.
- you already have a Divine Avenger. If you like it, by all means do a Gran Faust.
- a Fang of Vog ? Not really useful, but it's fun to roast JK from time to time. And I think it can actually OS Slags in Vana P5 (but not sure about that).

That's about all I can think of, but that's still quite a list.

Thanks so much guys! I did

Thanks so much guys!
I did forget to mention....

I do have two CTR med Sword trinkets that i equip when using swords so i have CTR max on all swords... which is fun :)

Is the Graviton Vortex ok in FSC?

Is the Fang of Vog really that good of a sword? I've seen it used, but how powerful is it really?

shadow shield... might be a good idea...

Thanks for all the input!!!

vortex in FSC, FoV

I've seen Graviton Vortex used very well in FSC. It speeds up all of those crowd-of-zombies fights, by letting one sworder do huge damage to every zombie in the room. I've also seen Voltaic Tempest and Stagger Storm used well. It turns out that there's whole world beyond Shivermist Buster. ;)

Fang of Vog's regular attacks do pretty poor raw damage (see here), although they are able to inflict fire, which makes them a bit more attractive. Just as the whole point of Leviathan is its charge attack, so is the whole point of Fang of Vog its charge attack. People annihilate the Royal Jelly with it. People carry it into FSC, even though the fire is worthless, just because the raw damage of the charge attack is so high. To make good use of it, you want lots of fire protection and lots of charge time reduction.

For FSC, Electron is better

For FSC, Electron is better than Graviton because it has elemental damage and shock. In general, Electron is a little superior to Graviton because shock can prevent flinch (although i didn't tested that myself), except in RJP because Jellies are weak to shadow. But Electron is a pain to get because you'll need at least 250 coins (if you buy the 3* one at AH)

I highly recommend getting

I highly recommend getting either vortex. Even if they don't do much damage, the clustering alone will greatly help. Other than that you have most of the bases covered for bombs.

as for swords, why isn't faust on that list? You got leviathan yet not faust? The curse can be immensely helpful, and it has way more knockback than acheron, I suggest you give it a shot.

Thanks for all the comments!

Thanks for all the comments!

One more question:

I have the Vile Striker sword (4*) and the Silversix gun (4*).
Which should i upgrade? :) What would be more important?

DVS and AP

Currently, Argent Peacemaker is generally undesirable due to its split non-normal damage. So I would not upgrade it. The game developers are actively considering changing its damage type to pure elemental. If that happens, then we will have to re-evaluate the elemental guns.

The Dread Venom Striker is good against Vanaduke's mask. I've also seen it used against his body, even in the later phases. It used to be great against the Royal Jelly, and maybe it's still good, but I haven't tried it since RJ was changed. In general, it's considered to be a pretty weak sword, due to the normal damage, the lack of knockback, the "unsafe" charge attack, etc.

Both of these weapons are fun to use, because they're fast, but neither really deserves upgrading. I would concentrate on getting more trinkets, or maybe some gunner or bomber armor.

Cool. that does make

Cool. that does make sense...
I was thinking about getting Bomb Damage trinkets. Then a couple of my bombs will have Max damage vs undead so that will help in Fsc...

If the argent gets pure elemental that will be awesome! definitely an upgrade if that will be the case.
Thanks Bopp! Always a pleasure reading your comments!
