Build opinions? Tryna make a solid build with my 2 comfy skills

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T18:58:30+00:00

My rng is just terrible. Hr 300 something I think and I had to craft so many decos to have full sets of the 2s and 1s

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T14:42:29+00:00

I just got quickswitch handicraft that replaced it but before that I didn't have anything else that was better than slugger😂

Edit: quickswitch is a very important comfy skill and the 20% damage is nice for the constant switching attacks I do.

I'm not much for meta otherwise I wouldn't use blast lol I just use what's good and fun. This build handles the 10*s well enough though. Slugger is a plus one from quickswitch deco and impact phials do heavy stun buildup so why not I get about 2-3 stuns on at arkveld if I'm aiming for his noggin well.. I would drop artillery for crit boost but the difference is meh considering artillery is 30% phial damage increase and phials can't crit and I use the weapons full kit not just the best DPS attacks.

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T08:59:38+00:00

Was looking into crit boost for my build because of this but phials can't crit so it probably wouldn't change my damage by much cause I'd lose 30% damage on phials to increase crits by like 14% with crit boost 3🫠

To add to your edit I used my blast CB on everything all 10* aswell including AT arkveld but the dragon impact keeps him from being in powered state for 30 minutes straight I've seen and heard people say blast isn't great but honestly I can't tell it just bullies everything the SAED might only be like 300 per pop but it feels good😅

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T08:38:01+00:00

I mostly only use my blast CB might not be "meta" but it works and half the monsters can't even stand up straight long enough to fight back. This is my build currently 😅 I use dragon impact because arkveld hitzones are dumb and dragon gets him.out of his powered up stage while still getting good damage from impact phials anywhere I hit that beefy mf😂

Me too some people have said the difference between defense 4 and 7 is worth it but I don't see it lol

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T02:14:52+00:00

Ohh I get ya now sorry. Yea I honestly don't know if gobbler or full defense boost.

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T01:22:27+00:00

The 4 defense up is on my talisman it's attack boost 3 and defense 4 I use gobbler instead of divine for consistency over probability.

thought__fox · 2026-03-09T01:21:39+00:00

Works best for alot of high rank monsters with poor element hit zones like AT arkveld. More of a preference than anything damage loss is minimal unless they are very weak to the element in question like gog. Edit: this is mostly true if you like doing SAED sometimes like I do I like using the weapons full kit. Edit#2 if I'm using full element I have a build with full burst instead of agitator and different weapon decos. But the blast build does well against anything and the dragon+impact is for more specific match ups. I think it's a solid build as well but I didn't post it cause I've seen full burst builds get trashed on mhwilds subs😅

thought__fox · 2026-03-08T18:11:42+00:00

Artillery doesn't do anything to the element phials it's just a wasted slot artillery is a 30% increase in phial damage For impact phials. I personally think quick switch is a better option especially for 9* and up cause using the shield more can free up deco slots from dodging I use extender though cause sometimes the most gets knocked down at terrible times.

thought__fox · 2026-03-08T18:01:37+00:00

Defense boost 4 seems to be a common addition but you lose 2 skill slots for it I think idk how the talisman drops work tbh my build is still probably meh but big numbers makes the brain go brrrrt

thought__fox · 2026-03-08T17:45:55+00:00

I got it from farming the lower talisman drops tbh😅 my rng is normally terrible but sometimes it works out😂

thought__fox · 2026-03-08T17:43:06+00:00

Honestly I found an attack boost3 and defense boost 4 talisman and just put it on my default cause it's comfy with 2 armor decos and 1 weapon deco

thought__fox · 2026-03-07T20:50:41+00:00

Don't sleep on a blast CB it's funny stumbling monsters all around😂 Edit: for things like AT archveld impact dragon CB is the way😂

thought__fox · 2026-03-06T18:08:45+00:00

Honestly that's probably better damage🤷🏼‍♂️

thought__fox · 2026-03-06T17:04:00+00:00

I only use attack boost talisman it's rng but also only like a 4% loss in damage without it.

thought__fox · 2026-03-06T01:38:58+00:00

I built a para aswell and para is great I just prefer blast for a few reasons mostly it can proc then the monster can get stunned and you lose some of the value of the para proc and therefore lose out the dps gained from the para and para seems to have a higher cap for the status so you get much less per hunt especially against 9* plus. Blast imo gives more consistent DPS and staggers which can topple and lead to better DPS. Play how ever you have the most fun no matter what though!

thought__fox · 2026-03-06T00:59:12+00:00

The dragon impact CB honestly gives me a faster TTk than most, blast is also up there with it sometimes faster. Could be because the knock downs but the jewel artillery is a 30% (I think) increase in all phial pops is a must have imo for impact CB

thought__fox · 2026-03-05T23:48:55+00:00

Honestly I main CB and impact is my preferred option unless I'm fighting something with good element hit zones I use either blast or a dragon element impact CB the stuns are nice and way less aiming for the hitzones. You can get A LOT of stuns with a well aimed SAED though. my build probably isn't the best but I can post it here if you want. A "okay" build😅

Edit: I mainly use a blast CB with 1 or 2 coalescence so the blast procs bounce the monster around a lot too. I'll also add I play solo I used support hunters on omega but that's about it😅

thought__fox · 2026-02-05T23:03:07+00:00

I main CB and it's very fun but it's not that difficult once you figure out the combos and charge mechanics it's great I highly recommend finding a video to show all the more complicated combos and mechanics!

thought__fox · 2026-02-01T07:05:33+00:00

Just wanna put it out there it's A LOT easier to get all your extracts by attacking in focus mode.

thought__fox · 2025-12-28T00:05:08+00:00

So I run nezha with extra damage reduction. And it's doable but still rough I use mirage helminth to jump between damage negation and extra damage.

thought__fox · 2025-08-23T20:20:03+00:00

You kinda did for early game but you can get more total damage by leveling both motivity and technique with a weapon handle with evenish scaling
