Best Armor Augments and Armor Recommendations
| Type | Effect |
|---|---|
Great Sword |
Improves charging speed of the great sword's charged slashes. |
Long Sword |
The Long Sword's Spirit Gauge fills faster. |
 Sword & Shield |
Increases charge level speed time. The change so small that you're better off using other skills instead. |
Dual Blades |
Improves the fill rate of Dual Blades' Demon Gauge |
Hammer |
Improves the charging speed of Hammer swings, similar to Great Swords. |
Lance |
Improves the charge time of Wide Sweep. |
Gunlance |
Shortens the charge times of Wyvern's Fire and Charged Shelling. We do not recommend using this skill on Gunlances due to how miniscule the improvement is. |
Bow |
Improves the bow's charge rate. Not recommended since Charging Sidestep and Dodgebolt are still more efficient in managing the bow's charges. |
Heavy Bowgun |
Improves the charge rate of the HBG's charged shots (Hold zR). |
If a weapon type isn't on this list, then it isn't affected by Focus in any way.
