    Hello! For the HR 21 to 35 build, you can aim for any element as the build doesn't have an element focused skill. However, Paralysis is a good choice for status. Thank you for your question and we hope this helps!

    For the HR 20 to 35 build, what element should we aim for for the Artian weapon for good synergy with the set we are already crafting for the rathalos blood 1 long sword?

    Hi in the summary are 3 divine blessing,but are only 2 point

    Agitator's Rush Long Sword Armor Loadout Skill Summary is showing Divine Blessing lvl 3 Build uses 2 divine blessing glyphs. Not sure if this is an error or I am missing something. Love your builds Thank you!

    Thanks for the feedback! We have corrected the decorations for the Wyvern Blade Maple. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the question! Paralysis is a good choice if you wish to use status for the Long Sword. We have updated our writeup to reflect this.

    18 Anonymous Anonymous 8 monthsReport

    wyvern blade maple only has one t2 slot, your guide lists 1 t3, and 2 t2 when its 1 t3, 1 t2, 1 t1. while the build gives you the same result with using crit one it would still be best to fix it on the display

    17 Anonymous Anonymous 8 monthsReport

    Would having a paralysis dimensius be considered the best? Or is it something else?

    16 Walkthrough Team Walkthrough Team@Game8 9 monthsReport

    Hello! Having a Non-Elemental Artian Long Sword is alright since our upper High Rank build focuses on Raw Critical damage! However, if you are considering an attribute, we recommend going for Paralysis as it can allow for free hits once the Status Ailment stacks. Hope this helps!

    Is non-elemental okay for the artian sword?

    14 Walkthrough Team Walkthrough Team@Game8 9 monthsReport

    Thanks for pointing this out! We've updated the page to display the correct level for Evade Window in the skill summary. :)

    13 Anonymous Anonymous 9 monthsReport

    evade window is level 2 not 1 in skill summary since one of the armor gives basic Lv 1 window evasion

    12 Walkthrough Team Walkthrough Team@Game8 9 monthsReport

    Thank you very much for the queries and feedback! The Wyvern Blade "Maple" was chosen as an alternative for the HR36++ Build exactly for the added white sharpness and the innate critical boost level 3 which compliments the build better as it focuses on affinity. As for the Challenger Jewels, one level 3 challenger jewel is equal to one agitator skill only, hence we need 3 to max out the agitator skill (plus the 2 skills from the challenger charm). Hope this helps! :)

    Each gem only gives Agitator v1 rather than lv3 like most gems

    10 Anonymous Anonymous 9 monthsReport

    Genuine question. Why have three level 3 challenger jewels if the skill only goes to level 5?

    9 Ilka Ilka 9 monthsReport

    Just for sake of claroty it'd be worth mentioning that the artian weapon is prefered if maxed out. Otherwise the nin-artian alternatives are way better

    8 Anonymous Anonymous 9 monthsReport

    they are indeed armor deco

    7 Anonymous Anonymous 9 monthsReport

    Sheath Jewel is not Armor Decoration

    6 Anonymous Anonymous 9 monthsReport

    Would the Wyvern Blade "Lily" not be better than Maple as a monster part alternative? Loses 50 Fire and a bit of white sharpness but gains 33 attack, 1 Critical element and 5% affinity.

    5 Walkthrough Team Walkthrough Team 9 monthsReport

    Hello, and thank you all for the feedback! The Armor decorations have now been updated to recommend more appropriate jewels. We have also updated the writeup under each build's top weapon that a Master Jewel [3] is needed to gain the Master's Touch skill. Thank you for checking out our build guides!
