After hearing lots of suggestions, I heard people saying I need a piercing sword, gun, shadow weapons, etc... I have listened, took your feedback and got new weapons.

Legend:

★★★★★ = Stars
O = UV(s)

Information you might need:

I am a swordsman, of course. I am equipped with the Skolver and I usually bring Voltedge, Gran Faust and polaris to some clockworks. I wear a Divine Stranger Hat as a costume. <--- That info is just for fun ^_^

Swords (19)

★★★★★ Fang of Vog
★★★★★ Gran Faust - (O) UV1: |CTR Low|
★★★★★ Voltedge - (O) |UV1: Damage Bonus vs Undead: Low|
★★★★★ Warmaster Rocket Hammer - (O) UV1: |Damage Bonus Vs Fiend: Low|
★★★★☆ Ascended Honor Blade
★★★★☆ Final Flourish
★★★☆☆ Iceburst Brandish
★★★☆☆ Nightblade - (OO) |UV1: Damage bonus vs Beasts: Low | Damage Bonus vs Fiends: Medium|
★★★☆☆ Sealed Sword
★★★☆☆ Stable Rocket Hammer
★★☆☆☆ Calibur
★★☆☆☆ Cutter - (O) |UV1: ASI Low|
★★☆☆☆ Snarble Barb
★★☆☆☆ Spur
★☆☆☆☆ Hot edge - (O) |Damage bonus vs Constructs: High|
★☆☆☆☆ Prototype Rocket Hammer
★☆☆☆☆ Static Edge
★☆☆☆☆ Thwack Hammer
☆☆☆☆☆ Proto Sword

Notes about my "Swords":

-I currently need a 5* piercing sword
-The Nightblade UV's need to be switched

Handguns (13)

Notes about my "Handguns"

-Planning to upgrade the Antigua to a Argent Peacemaker
-Shadowtech Alchemer is planned to go up higher into 5*

Bombs (8)

★★★★★ Dark Retribution
★★★★☆ Freezing Atomizer - (O) |Damage Bonus vs Constructs: Low|
★★★☆☆ Dark Reprisal Mk ll
★★★☆☆ Lightning Capacitor
★★★☆☆ Super Blast Bomb
★★☆☆☆ Dark Reprisal
★★☆☆☆ Spine Cone
☆☆☆☆☆ Proto Bomb

Notes about my "Bombs"

-More bombs are mostly needed
-Upgrading to Shivermist is a priority

Armor + Helmet(12)

★★★★★ Skolver Set - (O) |Coat: Increased Poison Resistance: Maximum| |Cap: Increased shock resistance: Low|
★★★☆☆ Dusker Set - (O) |Cap + Coat: Increased Fire Resistance: Low|
★★★☆☆ Gunslinger Set
★★☆☆☆ Wolver set
★★☆☆☆ Jelly Mail
★★☆☆☆ Magic set
★★☆☆☆ Spiral Demo Set

The rest is basic T1 stuff that everybody gets.

Notes about my "Sets"

-With the current Dusker Set, it needs to be into Vog Cub ONLY since it has fire resist on both

Shields (11)

★★★★★ Grey Owlite Shield - (O) |Increased elemental defense: low|
★★★★☆ Mighty Honor Shield
★★☆☆☆ Jelly Shield
★★☆☆☆ Bristling Buckler
★★☆☆☆ Owlite Shield (Spare)

The rest of the shields are useless and you don't need to know.

Notes about my "Shields"

-Need a new shield to block other types of defense

Trinkets (10)

★★★★☆ Tetra-Heart Pendant

The rest of the pendants are useless, again.

Apart from bragging, is there

Apart from bragging, is there a point about this thread ? Are you looking for feedback ? I don't see any question.

Well, you lack a good shadow gun. It's not clear if you are a swordsman who would need a side-arm or playing as a pure gunslinger when you use guns. Umbra is more for gunslingers, Sentenza is generally better as a side-arm, especially against gremlins.

There is no bomb at all. If you intend to have a complete arsenal, you should have some bombs.

@Fradow

The point is to give feedback to me and suggestions on what I should do. It is a hard time thinking about it when it comes to weapons. I've changed the title for feedback.

I am a swordsman and always carry 1 gun, 1 sword. I'm a Skolver, so I will add what I wear through. I do have some bombs which will be posted later

hmm

You have enough weapons to get by,

as u say we should have your armour & shields really for best advice as there could be some big gaps here.

on the weapon front ...eg nightblade. it would be cheaper now to decide what uvs u want on any new weapon and get them before upgrade
i suggest you buy it again as a brandish with whatever u prefer in uv you can pick up an asi med for 20-40k cr if thats your budget ( its mine :( )

my opinion is such...
get set of every armour def shadow, elemental (of course skolver means u have pierce already) shields too

as swordsman make sure you have bristling buckler line of shield

i second what fradow says in getting sentenza dont go a/p as u already have polaris for elemental now

For readability, you should

For readability, you should remove any gear that is not at least 4* or currently being upgraded (though I'd let those ones as notes). Frankly, we don't care that you have a Static Edge or a Pummel Gun, unless you are playing T1 LD.

The biggest gap is that you have no 5* piercing sword : upgrade that Grand Flourish first. The second gap is Shiver indeed, especially if you intend to Shiver Vanaduke (4* version doesn't reach in P5). Third would be a shadow gun. I'd argue for a Sentenza, unless you have a good reason to choose Umbra.
I wouldn't worry about UVs on your gear yet, especially for your Nightblade, since you already have a Gran Faust, this should be low priority.

After that, since you are not a bomber, there is no need to get more bombs right now.

I expect big gaps in your armors/shields. Most people generally neglect that part, because it's not as shiny. I expect you to have only 1 or 2 usable shield. If that's so, having at least 3 shields (one for each damage type) is a priority, just after finishing the 3 weapons listed above.

Then I'd get weapons slots, and probably trinkets and trinkets slots before doing a lot on armors (unless your armors are really lacking, you should have at least a part for each damage type).

CAUTERY SWORD

You obviously lack Cautery Sword as well as Wrench Wand. I suppose Cold Snap is something that you should consider if you're into LD. The Ban Stick could be a good complimentary normal weapon, also.

I had the Cautery Sword

But I sold it for profit

And why do I need a T1 Wrench Wand?

/e detects the subtle fragrance of troll.

Final Flourish would be first on my list to get. Given that everyone grinds Vanaduke, the Buster would be second. I would personally skip the Argent Peacemaker; I have never found the Antigua lines to be especially worthwhile in terms of damage, despite their mobility, and you have a Polaris to shut down turrets anyway. Sentenza or Umbra Driver would be a slightly better idea since you lack shadow damage guns. Not sure whether you would be keener on the high mobility or high damage, however.

I have no idea how your costume or 0* and 1* items are relevant to your loadout.
Will comment further when I can read your list of relevant trinkets, armours, shields and helmets.

Edit: Actually, scratch that, you'll want your Vog Cub as a higher priority than that Flourish since you have no fire resistant armour. I would recommend you get a Crest of Almire at some point when you have more funds available, although if your diet is Vanaduke-heavy that isn't such an issue since you currently have GOwlite.

You should get an Electron or Graviton Vortex who are awesome bombs.And don't upgrade the Antigua to an Argent Peacemaker make it a Sentenza its much better for OCH as it is a fast gun with a large clip while the Umbra Driver is not so good for OCH and is slow which i am thinking isn't your style.

In that case, I would get that Dusker of yours upgraded into Vog ASAP, since you don't currently have any t3 armour other than Skolver. After that, getting enough tokens for a Blackened Crest would probably be an idea, and FSC has lots of heat available to get your stuff levelled up whilst you're doing that. Then Shivermist Buster and all the other stuff afterwards...
