Umm... There's not much to say... I guess you can say that i'm a "Wolver" Knight. Basically a Knight with the Wolver series. Currently, i have a Ash Tail set and i'm preparing to upgrade to a Vog Cub set for countless runs of FSC. I usually like having a heavy sword around with me, that's why i pick the Divine Avenger. A ranged weapon for FSC is most likely going to be either a Blitz Needle or a Argent Peacemaker.
 
  
The types of swords i would use is a Elemental Sword and a Piercing Sword. The reason why i don't bring a Shadow weapon is because i have a bad experience with Undead and Fiends. That's why i choose to have strong damage against those types of monsters. It also includes strong damage against Beasts and Constructs, with Neutral damage against Slimes and Gremlins. I like to be a Knight which as weapons and gear that fit nearly every situation. Sometimes that's not actually possible.

There is the 3-swing sword which deals average damage for a average speed. The most common 3-swing sword is the Calibur, which is given to you in the Rank Mission 3-2 Blades of the Fallen. The best 3-swing swords to my personal opinion are listed below. It would be wise to also check the [[Swordmaster_Guide]]

The Thorn Blade is the best piercing sword in my opinion. The Flourish series has a wider range of blades but the Final Flourish and the BTB have the same combo and damage. The difference is the charge attack. Final Flourish is a forward strike and the Thorn Blade does a ranged attack. It sends out thorns in front of you and a hologram of a Snarbolax biting as well which deals damage. Much like the Divine Avenger charge attack except without the Snarbolax. The Thorn Blade is a fast weapon so be careful using it. Using Auto Aim would be recommended.

In most cases the Thorn Blade is considered a "Fast" Weapon. However, it follows a three-swing combo and that is why it is in this category.

Slow Swords or Heavy Swords deal massive amount of damage for the cost of speed (2-Swing Sword). The normal combo of the Heavy swords generally leaves the user vulnerable on the 2nd swing. It would be effective if you use only the 1st swing unless you know the 2nd strike will hit the target. The 1st swing knockbacks enemies and the 2nd swing normally doubles the amount of damage of the 1st swing and does knockback.

Fast Swords to me aren't really worth it. I prefer swords that deal good damage rather than swords that are fast. The only series of Fast swords i like is the Cutter series. Dread Venom Striker is one of the swords that can inflict Poison, and i find it useful for Jelly King.
