● Recovery Up
● Wind Mantle
● Frenzied Bloodlust
● Guard

Build Merits and Notes
Blood Awakening is a new aggressive comfort skill introduced in the Bonus Update. Paired with Blood Rite, this skill becomes formidable late in a hunt or when dealing with large monsters that inflict Bloodblight. This build leans toward comfort. If seeking for more elemental damage and a consistently higher overall DPS, we recommend the Dragon Conversion build. For the Charge Blade play style, this focuses on the use of Condensed Spinning Slash. The switch skill Ready Stance is helpful in bringing out damage faster, since they can cancel Elemental Discharge axe swings. For sharpness maintenance, we included Risen Teostra's waist piece and maxed out Master's Touch. High affinity weapons and affinity-boosting skills are used to ensure that you get the most out of sharpness preservation. One level of Blood Rite can be exchanged for two more levels of Guard if needed since they share the same jewel slot requirement. However, recovering health and activating Blood Awakening will take longer, requiring more hits. Intrepid Heart comes handy in receiving Bloodblight since it significantly reduces damage and negates knockback when filled. If armor is to be augmented, you can put in Recovery Up which synergizes with Blood Rite.

Build Merits and Notes
*Note: Thanks to the new Qurious Melding introduced in Title Update 5, it's now easier to acquire great-value charms. For this build, try and meld for a talisman with a Weakness Exploit Lv.3 and a Rapid Morph Lv.2. This will open up slots in the build, making it possible to max out Burst and slot in Critical Element that can increase your DPS further. However, keep in mind that this is not a requirement and the build can still work without a secondary skill on the talisman recommended above. In Free Title Update 5, the heavenly armor of Amatsu descended from the skies. Three pieces of this armor introduced a new skill; Heaven-Sent. This skill bestows its users powers when they manage to not get caught in any attacks. At level 3, it prevents sharpness loss and allows you to recover some after switching scrolls. This is perfect for the Charge Blade's Savage Axe playstyle, which usually depletes sharpness fast. Say goodbye to sharpening and say hello to continuous spinning (slash)! Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax's armor skill, Dragon Conversion, 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 continuously. Be sure to start fights 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. High affinity benefits the Savage Axe playstyle greatly. For this reason, we maxed out Critical Eye, along with Critical Boost and Weakness Exploit to get critical hits in. This will quickly bring the monster's health down to zero. Before venturing out and using this playstyle, don't forget to equip Condensed Spinning Slash and Ready Stance as your Switch Skills. This is the optimal build for Savage Axe that uses the new skill from the Amatsu armor. You can get continuous hits in and stun a monster once or twice for your team, since all of the selected Charge Blades have impact phials in them. However, if you're looking for more damage, we highly suggest our Dragon Conversion Elemental Builds on the next section.

Build Merits and Notes
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. To build up the elemental resistance you get from attacking with the Blue Swap Scroll, it is important to get your combos or elemental discharge in without getting interrupted. Proper positioning and guarding can help with this, but to ensure that you do your combos consecutively, we maxed out the Intrepid Heart skill just in case an unexpected move delays your resistance buildup. For weapon choice, Charge Blades with the highest possible elemental values and an element phial type were chosen to take advantage of the power given by the Dragon Conversion skill. To further increase this damage, we maxed out the Element Exploit skill and, thanks to Weapon Augments, slotted in the Elembane as a Rampage Decoration. This will ensure a quick hunt against monsters weak to a specific element.

To increase the damage further, we slot in two Flamescale Jewels for the extra 10% Fire Attack from the Teostra Blessing skill. Powder Mantle's additional blast damage complements the AED playstyle, as phial discharge counts as hits needed to build up the skill. Firing of an AED will boost you damage, which can, potentially,speed up the hunt!

Build Merits

Bloodlust is crucial in this build as it utilizes the unique mechanic present in all Chaotic Gore Magala Weapons; overcoming the Frenzy virus will turn the weapons' afiinity from negative to positive. With that in mind, it is important to be aggressive as possible while using this build. Overcoming the Frenzy virus will also activate Coalescence for an added boost in damage.

We equipped this build with the Mail of Hellfire for an extra boost in damage. You would mainly stay at the Red Swap Scroll, since this build focuses primarily on raw damage. However, it will also decrease your armor this way, so one point of this skill is enough.

Build Merits and Notes

Elemental damage becomes more important for the Charge Blade in Sunbreak's endgame, as several options open up to amplify damage significantly over their Impact Phial counterparts. Defensive skills like Guard, Guard Up, and Defiance, are included to ensure counters don't cause knockback and that your AEDs are uninterrupted by roars and wind. Embolden may also be added or used in place of Guard, especially when solo, to reduce knockback against stronger attacks.

This build can be a great start as you grind up MR and anomaly research level, as the armor and decorations only require MR 10 to craft. The weapons suggested are the same as the ultra endgame sets, and should mostly be available by MR 50. Only the Crimson Mechwing unlocks at MR 70, but the Draquila Reaver+ may be used in the meantime.

Build Merits and Notes

While using Element Phial Charge Blades is the way to go for maximum DPS, the Condensed Spinning Slash (CSS) or Savage Axe can still be viable, especially if you can target weakpoints consistently. Impact Phials are still recommended for CSS, as stunning monsters remains useful in the endgame.

This build mostly only requires parts from monsters unlocked at MR 10, and it can be used to grind for better materials from higher-level Anomaly Investigations or Risen Elder Dragons later on. The Rare 9 versions of the weapons may be used while Afflicted Claws are unavailable. While the Handicraft Jewel+ 4 is not yet available, the Handicraft Jewel 3 can be used with a level of Sharpness Augment in the meantime.

The Chaotic Gore Charge Blade can actually be used as a raw alternative when replacing the elemental boosts with an Attack Augment and Attack Boost Lv.7. The Dragon Attack decorations can be replaced with 3x Attack Jewel 2 and an Ironwall Jewel+ 3.

As the playstyle requires staying in Axe Mode, equipping Ready Stance with Guard levels makes sure knockback is reduced. This also allows for guarding when necessary while being able to maintain CSS. Intrepid Heart works well for extra safety since it charges quickly with spinning attacks.

Free Title Update 1 gave us the opportunity to pack Savage Axe and Ultra Discharge playstyles into well-rounded package! Phial damage is maximized through Attack Boost and Artillery, while the sword and axe swings are bolstered through Weakness Exploit, Critical Boost, and Burst. QoL staples are present to provide maximum comfort as well.

For Qurious Crafting choices, we recommend Attack Boost or Rampage Slot Upgrade. The latter allows you to slide in Wyvern or Fanged Exploit for more damage depending on the target, while the former is a less potent, but universal improvement.

The Pure Axe Omonshiro replaces the Fine Kamura Charge Blade for our Savage Axe (Condensed Spinning Slash) climber build thanks to its longer purple sharpness and three Lv.2 slots that allow us to finally hit 100% affinity on weakpoints. Damage across the board is improved via Attack Boost, Critical Boost, Weakness Exploit, and Burst. You'll need to augment the weapon with a Rampage Slot Upgrade to slot in the anti-species jewels and then add an Attack Boost augment to round it out. Levels in Guard may replace Rapid Morph to use Ready Stance without heavy knockback.

Build Merits and Notes

This early game build combines both of our endgame High Rank CB builds into one package! Start off strong by maximizing the Charge Blade's strongest aspects: Savage Axe Mode and Ultra Element Discharges. Damage for both of these are improved through Attack Boost and Artillery respectively. This build also hosts Guard, Speed Sharpening, Evade Extender, and Load Shells as well — making your early hunts in Sunbreak relatively comfortable.

AED Charge Blade Playstyle

Best Skills	Explanation
Attack Boost ★★★	Focus on maxing out this skill when using an Impact AED build.
Offensive Guard ★★★	Doing moves such as the Guard Point or Counter Peak Performance activates this skill, increasing your damage values. Be sure to max it out!
Artillery ★★	Improves phial hits for Impact Phial builds.
Slugger ★	Improves stun rate. Useful for solo play due to the lower enemy ailment resistance. Also useful for multiplayer to give the team openings to deal damage. Only viable with Impact AED Builds.
Partbreaker ★	Easily break monster parts with the AED's reach.

Savage Axe Charge Blade Playstyle

Best Skills	Explanation
Critical Eye ★★★	With the Savage Axe playstyle, this skill will provide more DPS the higher its level. Always aim for 80-100% affinity to amplify base damage efficiently!

Best Comfort Skills

These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!

Best Skills	Explanation
Rapid Morph ★★★	A Charge Blade's best friend. Rapid Morph is still an amazing skill for Charge Blade builds as it makes the transitions between its two forms as seamless as possible. The damage increase for its morphing attacks further improves its value.
Load Shells ★★★	Get your Charge Blade into full potential as soon as possible with this skill, decreasing the time it takes to fill all your bottles!
Guard ★★★	This skill decreases the impact and stamina consumption upon guarding a strong attack with Guard Point or Ready Stance, making it easier to get back into your combos!
Protective Polish or Master's Touch ★★★	Be sure to consider these skills for the Savage Axe Playstyle, which can eat up sharpness fast!
Guard Up ★★	Lets you guard normally unguardable attacks. A single point of this skill is enough for most fights.
Defiance ★★	Three levels of this skill prevent most roars, tremors, and winds from interrupting your charged attacks. The Cornerstone Jewel is a level 1 decoration, so slot it in whenever possible! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1
Wind Mantle ★★	This skill from the Risen Kushala Armor will recharge your Wirebugs faster after a Counter Peak Performance or Ready Stance. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3
Flinch Free ★★	Useful especially in multiplayer where minor attacks can interrupt your attacks, especially when trying to fill your bottles!
Speed Sharpening ★	Reduces a cycle for sharpening with each level. Useful for getting your sharpness level up mid-fight.

The Elemental AED Climber Build is falsely stated to be available with TU1 but the Onmyo Sashiko are only available from TU 2 onward

12 Anonymous4 months

this question may be a dumb question but is the part that says "for higher overall DPS, we recommend the Dragon Conversion build" referring to the dragon conversion + heaven sent build, or the pure dragon conversion build?
