Decorations are randomly obtained, so feel free to adjust with what is available.

For this Charge Blade build, go for 2 pieces of Guardian Ebony for Burst skill bonuses, 2 pieces of Guardian Arkveld for Flayer and Decimator, and 1 piece of Guardian Rathalos for Weakness Exploit.

A good choice for decorations would be the Guardian Jewel for Offensive Guard, giving more damage on Perfect Blocks. Alternatively, you can also go for Critical Jewel for more damage on critical hits. If you have none of those, comfortable alternatives would be the Ironwall Jewel or Quickswitch Jewel.

This set is will compliment the Charge Blade's Savage Axe significantly increasing the damage of multi-hit attacks and giving you more damage to wounds.
