Swordsman Guide

As a swordsman, I use Vile Striker, Divine Avenger, and Rigadoon.

Dread Venom Striker

The Dread Venom Striker is a very fast weapon. Many people claim that this weapon does not fare well in Tier 3 runs, but I disagree. Even in tier 3, this weapon has its uses. From my experience, it is not good to use this weapon on Mecha Knights, Retrodes, and Zombies. It is not easy to do good damage against them without getting hurt. I find that this weapon does extremely well in small numbers. However, in large numbers, it may be difficult to get in multiple attacks.

Divine Avenger

The Divine Avenger has the best charge attack in the game. Its charge attack fires three swords as projectiles, and they knock back enemies in their path. This sword has a good knock-back on its regular swings. However, the sword has very slow attack speed. While the final attack in the combo has really good knockback, I find it quite risky to use it. Prior to hitting the enemy with the final hit of the combo, you spin 360 degrees and this time frame isn't short. Finally, you cannot shield or move immediately after a full combo. The same goes with the delay starting a new combo. In these delays, it is common that the enemy will do you some damage. Unlike the second attack, you can shield immediately after your first attack in the combo.

Rigadoon

I use a Rigadoon only because it does piercing damage and the Flourish that I crafted has a CTR High UV. Otherwise, I would have stick with the Snarble Barb.

Gunslinger Guide

As a gunslinger, I plan to use Polaris, Sentenza, and Argent Peacemaker. These three can hard-counter everything but slimes. Slimes are usually no threat to me, and I can clean them with the Polaris.

My alternative is Polaris, Biohazard, and Callahan. However, I am evaluating the Callahan. If the Callahan does well against Beasts and Fiends, I will stick with this route.

Argent Peacemaker

The Argent Peacemaker has good mobility, short delay, short reload time, fast bullets, and a good clip size. This weapon does both piercing and elemental damage. As a result, this gun does extra damage to fiends and undeads. Some people may attribute this to its drawback because enemies [that take extra damage from this gun] only take extra damage one damage type and normal to other. Therefore, this gun does not fit well with gunslingers that carry a gun of each damage type [so that every enemy that they encounter will take much more extra damage]. It is also controversial that this gun does worse damage to its "neutral" enemies (extra damage from one damage type, reduced damage from the other).

Sentenza

This gun shares the same qualities and drawbacks as the Argent Peacemaker. However, this gun does extra damage to gremlins and beasts instead of fiends and undeads. Unlike fiends and undeads, firing a projectile at gremlins and beasts will trigger their block/dodge actions. As a result, this gun has one more drawback than the Argent Peacemaker.

Polaris

Why do you choose Argent Peacemaker and Sentenza?

There are two piercing-damage based guns: Blitz Needle and Callahan. Blitz Needle does not offer good survivability against Wolvers and Devilites. The attack timeframe for the Blitz Needle is too long, and it cannot be terminated early. Therefore, attacking will create openings for the enemies. Immediately after a wolver dodges an attack, s/he is open to attacks. Since the Blitz Needle takes so long to complete an attack, the Blitz Needle cannot take advantage of this opening.

I have never used the Callahan. I will have to look into it later.

The Argent Peacemaker and Sentenza may be a good option because of its survivability.
