Hello, now with my 4* normal Calibur I think that I need for another weapons but with different damages. I think, the ice Brandish and Magnus(fiend sniping) combo should be good but I want read your opinion. I need something good for charge spamming (I'm using almost always in this mod the Calibur) and a gun (the fiends are to hard for a sword).
Pierce sword and elemtental gun or vice vers?

Turrets, the main ranged threat, are weak or neutral to elemental. So elemental gun is a better choice.

agree
I agree. Piercing swords are really great, especially because fiends are so difficult, and elemental guns are really great, especially because of the turret thing.
You might go for Barbarous Thorn Blade over Final Flourish, because it charges faster, but they're both great.
In guns, I agree that an elemental alchemer is a good idea. The charge attack is really powerful, once you master the aiming. The regular attacks are good too.
At some point in the future, you could bump up to three weapon slots, and put a shadow sword (or utility bomb) in the third slot. Very nice.

As a Gunslinger that owns and
As a Gunslinger that owns and uses a Callahan regularly.. I'd have to agree, get a piercing sword. AVOID Callahan unless you are a gunslinger. Without ASI, the Callahan can be dangerous to the user without planning before each shot. As for elemental guns, Alchemers are a nice option.
A little more advanced would be a Polaris, using it to set up a wall of bombs as the fiends jump around running into them, usually they get hit and shocked by one or two. But this takes more work then using a Alchemer or just a piercing sword, so I don't recommend it.
Or if you want something just general purpose for all the clockworks, just make a Valiance. It's fast, 3 shot, normal damage works on everything,low knockback, and the recipes are free. It's not the most popular gun, but if your a sword user it makes a nice backup plan.
Other option would be Argent since that's more of a sword user's gun.
Definitely Pierce sword + Elemental gun
Unfortunately, there is a lack of effective pierce guns against Fiends. Yes, there is Callahan, but I have heard it has a low damage output. The two piercing swords, Flourish and Snarble Barb, are much better for taking out Fiends. They are much different from Calibur and Brandishes in use though.
For a good elemental gun, there are several choices, but if you like chargespamming, Alchemers are the way to go. Nova is pure damage, Hail has freeze, Magma does fire, and Storm does shock. Nova is for pure damage, Hail does crowd control, Magma isn't very good apparently, and Storm removes invincibility frames and shocks somewhat randomly. I suggest you wait for some other opinions though, I'm not very good at giving advice.
