How To Play

Gear Choices

For our we'll be going with element, but this build works perfectly fine with Raw Damage or any other element Artian you want. If using another element besides , Simply swap the in your Weapon Jewels for the corresponding Elemental Attack, and if going for a Raw Weapon instead, replace them with minors.
In both cases go full Attack for the parts themselves, then 3 Attack/2 Sharpness Reinforcements for Elemental Weapons, and 4 Attack/1 Sharpness for Raw Weapons.
In both cases use in the third socket for 3/5 to go along with your 3/3 , which is one of the largest attack boosts in the game with a very generous window for activation when guarding. 15% Attack Last's 12 Seconds after a successful guard.

If you do not have an Artian Weapon yet, then the is a great substitute in the meantime socketed with & for 3/5 and for 3/3 which is a massive 15% Attack Boost when we guard, and 1/3 for some extra Elemental Damage.

is by far the best mantle in the game and it's not close, Putting the mantle on increases your Raw Attack by 10, and grants you 10% Affinity at the cost of draining your health, when charged up after a few hits however, it adds an extra hit to your attacks, gives you 20 extra Raw Attack, and 20% affinity functioning as the largest DPS increase in the entire game besides your weapon itself.

Is a fantastic value piece providing us with 2/5 and a Level 2 Decoration slot for our first getting us 1/5 Two of the strongest effective DPS increases in the game.

Gets us 1/5 for a very consistent increase to affinity, as well as a & for another level of & creating a very efficient gear piece.

has no decoration slots, but it does get us up to 5/5 and activates set bonus for getting us 3 more Raw Attack with virtually perfect uptime. The extra isn't bad either giving us a bit of extra defense.

Sucks, isn't very good for Sword & Shield but, we need it for the set bonus, which when combined with 3/3 gives us 25% more affinity with very good uptime. For the Decorations we get another level of & 3/3 with a &

Completes the set requirement while giving us 3/5 & a nice little level of with another , and 3/3 by socketing 2

Afflicting ourselves with Frenzy and Corrupting Mantle makes this set dangerous to run if you're not locked in, but the pay off is 85% Affinity and high uptime bonus 41 Raw Attack +15% from Offensive Guard. If you start the fight off poorly though it's going to quickly result in getting you carted off, so be careful when running this set.

Consumables

The best meal for damage is Meat + Airy Eggs + Wild Seed Oil
Meat gives +2 Attack, Airy Eggs gives Attack Up L at random intervals and Wild Seed Oil improves our Paralysis Build up.

Make regular usage of and , which grants you +7 Attack and +25 Defense for 30 minutes.
You can pop these when you eat your meal while equipped with 3/3 to make them last 45 minutes saving you materials.
You can also in your opener for +25 Attack for 20 seconds.
If you want to go nuts then gives 10 Attack for 3 minutes.
a further 10 Attack for 3 minutes, all of this stacks.

Carry Shock & Pit Fall Traps as well as a tranquilizer consumable to utilize when you hear the call out informing you the monster is getting weak or when you see a skull icon on the monster on the minimap indicating it can be captured ending the hunt quicker then slaying it.
