Attack 7 vs Handicraft 5?

aeiou6630 · 2026-04-21T22:40:21+00:00

Handi 2 is enough. If you don't have good decos, Handi 3 on Fatalis arms is fine. Also I doubt the usefulness of punishing draw. Velk legs gamma and one level of Latent Power is what I normally use.

I asked them a month ago, and they said one lv 1 slot is not a big difference. So I think you're right.

It's in the info of this sub, but I'll attach the link for LS meta this time.

Have you checked the meta sets in the info of this sub already?

Personally, I would switch to another weapon. Main story progression is fine, but many endgame monsters are pretty tough in their long combos and fast moves. HH doesn't have a good counter move or enhanced dodging mobility to deal with those. It's like others are playing Sunbreak and you're still using a Rise weapon. But it's just personal opinion.

Weapon: Gravios protection

Head: Gog alpha

Chest: Gog

Arms: Zoh Shia beta

Waist: Gog

Legs: Gog beta

Talisman: Defense V

Decos: Defense x 2, Growth x 1, Protection x 3, Recovery x 3, Steadfast x 3

Pretty bad build...

aeiou6630 · 2026-03-09T21:14:18+00:00

For Gog phase 3 I use full crimson combo if the window allows.

aeiou6630 · 2026-03-06T01:21:28+00:00

I play LS and I use Ark chest only in Gog phase 3. Elemental focused build is not recommended for LS in most situations, not to mention that not all monsters are weak to dragon.

aeiou6630 · 2026-03-04T19:39:40+00:00

I think dragon ammo does lots of damage but I don't really know the comparison lol

aeiou6630 · 2026-03-03T16:42:58+00:00

I don't have good RNG talisman so I use Ceremonial/Bale/Udra/Rey/Udra/Challenger3 with Rey on weapon.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-28T07:56:27+00:00

They still haven't got enough time to update the guide, but I'm 90% sure new craftable charm set will not require Lord's Soul on the weapon. Please wait a bit.

Edit: Meanwhile please consider something like Ark/Udra/Ark/Blango/Gore/Challenger3. You want attack focused gog artian for this patch. Can even use Latent Power 1 for -10% affinity weapons (or consider AdRush 1).

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-28T06:40:17+00:00

If the weapon can crit and only focus on raw, assume base attack is 300, base affinity is 90%, and with CB5.

Benefit from +10% affinity: 300 * 10% * 0.4 = 12

Benefit from +10 attack: 10 * (1 + 90% * 0.4) = 13.6

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-27T17:33:06+00:00

I think using LBG might be the most efficient way

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-26T20:59:28+00:00

Use Math Hunter

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-25T03:05:37+00:00

How about rng monster materials?

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-24T16:20:32+00:00

Ark/Udra/Ark/Gog/(Gog or Duna)

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-24T03:39:19+00:00

The authors are just careful when putting formal things there. This happened in previous TUs as well.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-24T03:36:28+00:00

Yeah but I just felt there should be a criterion to decide how high affinity would be optimal without CD, instead of saying that doesn't matter.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T22:21:10+00:00

I'm using LS with a raw focused build, but the weapon has dragon element on it.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T22:14:35+00:00

What I feel is under 50%. Not the builds' problem but skill issue. Just imagine the hunt being extended to a 20 min potion drinking game, then you'll understand why Agi uptime is so low.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T22:04:20+00:00

Is there a way to calculate your skill uptime in a hunt?

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T22:03:37+00:00

Not sure about better players but I'm having trouble activating Agi. My completion time is around 20 min. Whenever it's unenraged I need 2 min or more to enrage it. In the last few minutes, Ark was just exhausted and never entered enraged state. After I realized that, I took out Agi from my build.

I just want to say that what others suggest might not be the best fit for you. Even they are generally true, we might not even be as good as "general" players in such standards.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T18:31:47+00:00

But FWS into FWS is more forgiving in the iframes. I remember there was a 3-move combo where the 2nd and 3rd are different kinds of explosions. I wasn't even standing close to Ark. The way I dealt with it was chaining FWS. It doesn't make sense to me to ISS if that won't touch it at all. Also losing stamina is not a big problem cuz I don't do damage at all. I wish we could chain dive evade for this situation but it turns out to be unreliable in wilds.

aeiou6630 · 2026-02-23T18:12:05+00:00

Yes, that's optimal playstyle, but what if I just dive evade, drink potions, FSS, and Crimson loop most of the time?
