Low Rank Build (HR6 - HR8)

WEX Flayer Evasion Lance

Best Weapon

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
G. Veldian Lancea I	4	391 (170)	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity
	①①ー	140	-10%
Skills	Guard Lv. 2

The G. Veldian Lancea I is a great Lance that has access to two levels of Guard and two level 1 decoration slots. With this in mind, we can slot in two Guardian Jewel [1] decorations for two levels of Offensive Guard AND Guard!

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
Chthonian Firewheel I	4	322 (140)	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity
	①ーー	260	0%
Skills	Offensive Guard Lv. 2

A great replacement for the G. Veldian Lancea I because it has two levels of Offensive Guard. It only has 1 slot for a level 1 decoration though, so you can only slot in another Jewel - preferably an Offensive Guard jewel to increase the level to max!

The build focuses on providing two of the most important skills for the Lance: Offensive Guard and Guard. In addition, the synergy of Weakness Exploit and Flayer will do wonders when attacking wounds for this build, especially since the Lance is known for its precision!

Comfort skills for this build includes Evade Extender for more mobility, Constitution for better stamina management when guarding or dashing, and Shock Absorber so you don't get knocked off by teammates in a group hunt setting.

Gently reminder to execute Perfect Guards to activate Offensive Guard. This provides around +10% increase in Attack when Level 2, way higher than an Attack Boost skill!
