I heard its good aganist zombies, would it do any good FSC? Is it more better than Voltedge? Last but not least, what is it most effective aganist, is it worth it?
Combuster any good?

Being an Elemental/Normal sword, it excels against Undead and Construct. Statuses are subjective. I love my Glacius, as you might see on other threads, but I did use Voltedge for a while beforehand. I've heard Combuster's fire can be quite deadly though!

In FSC, you won't get it to
In FSC, you won't get it to apply the Fire status, and you won't get Shock or Freeze like with Voltedge and Glacius, but I have friends and guildmates that use it for exactly that reason. If no status is applied, the enemy will ride the entire charge attack and take more damage, as opposed to Glacius, which freezes the enemy in place and therefore only hits them with half of the attack.

Combuster forces enemies to
Combuster forces enemies to ride the entire wave, regardless of status application...

Combuster ftw
The charge will completely push back mobs, giving you room, and since everything is fire-immune, it won't interrupt freeze, say from a shivermist. Can also ignite trojans and slags if you are not good at face offs with them.

Going to interrupt freeze with the hits anyways.

Combuster is the most
Combuster is the most powerful (in damage) brandish line sword, I love it. If you already have a Shivermist buster or a Voltaic tempest or any such bomb, go for Combuster. If you don't have any of these and prefer safety, better go for Voltedge/Glacius I think.

Combuster > all brandishes
Combuster > all brandishes for pure damage terms. You get the most out of your explosions with it.

I equip it in pretty much every level. Constructs are laughable when faced with it, no matter the tier.

Just hold your charge-spamming impulse on a room with oilers and you'll be fine.

Psh, set them on fire! Challenge mode is fun mode!
Bonus points if you kill a fellow knight with fire!

It depends on the situation.
For example, in ICMF, combuster is better, due to the fact there are quicksilvers in there, and they've killed me before, due to a stupid mistake...
However, voltedge, IMO, is better in FSC, due to the fact enemies are cramped together, and shock deals a small AoE, so throw it into, for example, depth 26, first battle, first area, at the right angle, you can give nearly all the enemies there shock. And all of them if you have 2 voltedges, all of them can be shocked.
However, it's your opinion in the end, which one is better
PS sorry about not much info on combuster. I don't have one yet. However I do have a voltedge, in case you didn't realise...
Move to Arsenal.
Yes it's worth it. My brother already loves his Fireburst, and can't wait for Combuster. I would prefer the Voltedge though... but that's on you!
