| Build Merits | Going for maximum element isn't always optimal for Hunting Horn. This build offers a balanced alternative to our elemental build by increasing DPS against monsters without very high elemental hitzones. Element is still included, as the additional damage remains useful with the right matchups.
When using this build, Silkbind Shockwave is mandatory for the extra elemental damage it can provide. Hunters should also stick to the Blue Scroll for this build to maximize raw damage and KO potential. Hunting Horns with healing songs remain our picks to manage Dereliction's health drain. This build doesn't include armor augments. However, Bloodlust should be rolled on one piece if using the Grimm/Joie. Otherwise, the Vicello Kvar Black works as an alternative. TU4 also allows skills like Strife to be rolled. |
