| Weapon Augments | |
|---|---|
| Armor Augments |
Armor Augments for this build are not necessary. However, feel free to add as you please once you get comfortable with your build! Generally, you'd want to get better skills and more slots for your armor.
Replaceable skills already on the armor: ● Ballistics For damage, aim for any of the following: ● Buildup Boost (if lacking the skill) ● Offensive Guard ● Bloodlust For comfort, aim for any of the following: ● Wind Mantle ● Guard |
| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| Blood Awakening is a new aggressive comfort skill introduced in the Bonus Update. It pairs with Blood Rite and helps in dealing with large monsters that inflict Bloodblight.
Devil's Deliverance is the choice weapon for this build for fitting enough slots and to synergize with Buildup Boost. Teostra's Fire can serve as an alternative for more raw at the expense of weapon slots, but this can be compensated with armor augments. Master's Touch is included for sharpness management since we have high affinity. Four levels of Guard are fitted into this build for a comfortable blocking experience. Feel free to adjust this according to your preference. If you only have a Buildup Boost Lv. 2 talisman, you can still augment one more Buildup Boost skill for armor. Having Lv. 3 is recommended since you get a 20% attack power boost from landing attacks with a status weapon. Augmenting for Intrepid Heart can be helpful in case your are hit with an attack that inflicts Bloodblight to soften the blow with greatly reduced damage and knockback. Bloodlust as an augment can also prove useful since it comes with stamina reduction when under Frenzy. |

| Critical Eye ★★★ |
Increasing Affinity is an efficient way to increase DPS for Lances due to their effectiveness at hitting weak spots. |

For enemies that use otherwise unblockable moves. A single point of this skill is enough for most fights. |

Two points in Mind's Eye completely prevents your weapon from bouncing off of tough monster parts, allowing Lances to thrust without fear! Only slot this skill in when you can! | Evade Extender ★ |
