Build Merits |
Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax's armor introduced a new skill called Dragon Conversion. This skill converts elemental resistances you get from attacking with the Blue Swap Scroll to elemental damage when you switch to the Red Swap Scroll. This is a powerful skill to use with elemental builds and for weapons that are able to land hits continuosly. Be sure to start fights with this build with the Blue Swap Scroll first and switch to Red only when the elemental resistance logo appears at the top of your health bar. Also take extra care when fighting with the Red Swap Scroll as your elemental resistances will all be 0.
We slotted in the Bow Charge Plus skill to increase the weapon's charge shot to level 4. With this in mind, we chose the best Bows in their respective elements with a Spread Level 5 on their Level 4 Charge Shot to make sure significant damage is dealt. A talisman with at least 2 levels of Critical Eye is ideal. When Latent Power activates during hunts, this will make your shots deal 100% affinity to monsters' weakspots, further increasing your dps! This build assumes that no Armor Augmentations have been made.Should you do some, we suggest targeting a skill that doesn't fit your playstyle and replacing it with a better skill. |
