So where are the suggested Augmentation for each weapon and armor. There should be a subsection to suggest what to augment and what skills to roll for. If any. It's understandable that in such a subsection if augmentation is a bad idea. It should be noted.
Lagombi's Swax is probably better as it has a 3 slot and a 1 slot. + Element phial.
is there a way to see builds from past Titles Updates?, that would be great
This frevel/Suris Build wants you to use 10 level 2 decorations. From the obvious looks of it. This is impossible. So care to explain how these builds go together?
What's the deal with Storge Greaves? They're rarity 9. Not exactly ideal for "Best Armor" when there are better options.
After playing around with Mizar's Asterism build. I noticed that it lacks the things that makes it a Switch Axe Build. The Weapon Needs to be polished a lot. You barely ever activate Zero Sum. If the weapon loses it's sharpness. The weapon bounces off of certain parts of the Monster and do minimal damage. I feel like the Abyssal Torrent build was way better and it resisted more elements too. The Mizar's Asterism is a bad build.
08/12/2022 10:48 AM UPDATE Build. The build is actually missing one decoration. It's actually missing a Quickswitch Jewel 2. To obtain the full Level 3 Rapid Morph. Everything else fits into place well.
The issue with the Abyssal Torrent build is that it has a -20% affinity and relies on a Rapid Morph Lv2- with 2 - 2 slots. You'll have to RNG Melding Pot for this to drop. As of right now 7/7/2022 build for Switch Axe isn't ideal for a casual much less a reliable build considering the fact that you'd be throwing away all of your consumables for a Talisman. To even make this build completed.
the recommended rampage slicer rampage skills are the biggest bullshit btw. exhaust phial is insane damage lose. 20 more affinity are way better. and the sharpness is also bullshit. better go for attack. it has way more bluesharpness than white without sharpness augment. and power phiol is 100 times better than exhaust. i tested all of that. at first i had attack, non element boost and affinity and now i have it like this page. bullshit recommtion. we speak about 10-20 less damage per hit btw...
Idiotic. Diablos axe has way higher power with managable green for blunt. It get pretty much same damage as this one while in white, without blut3.
My build isn't finished but so far im using: Mizu Swax Almudron Head Narga Chest Rathalos Hands Anja waist Rajang Legs Crit eye / Weakness exploit talisman And with Decos I have: 5 Crit eye 4 Attack boost 3 Rapid Morph 2 Crit boost 1 Weakness Exploit 1 Latent Power 1 Evade Window 215 Attack 29 Water Attack 46% Affinity 61% On Weakpoints If you have any suggestions post them I will share the final build soon
I’m currently working on a Valstrax Wyvern-Exploit build, I think with a better talisman than what i have it could be great.
On the diablos switchaxe build, it equals out to rapid morph 5 on the build, which isn't obtainable
Nargacuga Switch Axe*
If I can make a suggestion for the current emd game, here's my build. Nargacuga Almudron Helm Jyuratodas Chest Rathalos Arms Spio Waist Rajang Legs Weakness Exploit Talisman With this build, including the decos I've slotted in, I'm sitting at 6 Attack Boost 3 Rapid Morph 3 Weakness Exploit 3 Speed Sharpening 2 Critical Boost 2 Power Prolonger 1 Evade Extender 212 Attack 40% Affinity, 90% on weakspots White Sharpness
There is no hands armor piece in the recommended setup for the early game
