Should I go for the combuster or the da?
Combuster or Divine Avenger
I wouldnt call DA cheaper as you either need to do 30 basil runs to get the recipes, or buy them at an inflated price off the ah or from other people, whereas combuster line you can just getvthe recipes from the HoH
I said its cheaper to make as it saves 200ce on the 3* version and i bought the 4* recipie for 11k cr and 5* recipie for 27k cr so it was cheaper to make for me atleast.
The major cost in crafting a 5-star item is the energy, which is the same for all items. There are small differences in recipe and materials cost, if you need rare ones, but they are not worth planning your equipment around. Just go for whatever equipment is best for you, even if it costs slightly more.
As for which is best, people frequently ask about these elemental swords. My answer can be found in my detailed sword guide: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/User:Jdavis/Swords#Elemental_Swords.
Come on why doesn't anyone give detail for there use i mean it wouldn't hurt.Now the combustor has the highest overall damage of all the brandish swords because of the fire damage but The DA has great knockback and reach of swing but no status and i slow(blah).But is cheaper to make as you don't have to make a 3* version first.
