TU2 High Rank Build (HR50++)

Sere-Gore Adrenaline Bow

This Sere-Gore Adrenaline Bow Build make use of the usual Artian weapon with production bonuses that focus on raw Attack and a bit Elemental damage on the side. Taking Affinity reinforcements can be helpful for making your Critical Hits more consistent but is completely optional simply due to the bonus affinity we get from our skills.

Try to aim for having at least 2 Affinity rolls to bring it past the 50% Affinity you already have from your skills, while rolling the rest for Attack reinforcements. As for your Decorations, make sure to equip the appropriate Element III/Crit Elem I jewel while also keeping mind your preference between equipping Spread or Pierce jewels that compliments your Bow playstyle.

Weapon Decorations	Crit Elem Jwl III【3】 x1 Blaze Jewel II【2】 x1 Blaze Jewel【1】 x1

The Dark Filament is a respectable Fire Bow due to its Affinity and Element Values being appreciated for the build. It also has Critical Boost, furthering its own damage on Critical Hits.

With the release of Mizutsune, we are now provided with another bow with a non-negative affinity! Though Slicked Blade would not function with our current non-bubbleblight build, this should still be a great Water bow option!

Weapon	Rarity	ATK	DEF
High Voltsender	8	264 (220)	0
	Slots	Element	Affinity
	③②①	250	0%
Skills	Tetrad Shot Lv. 2 Convert Thunder Resistance Lv. 1

Weapon Decorations	Bolt/Crit Elem Jwl【3】 x1 Trueshot Jewel II【2】 x1 Bandolier Jewel【1】 x1

The High Voltsender comes in as the recommended Thunder weapon due to Convert Thunder Resistance that can give high amounts of thunder damage. Additionaly, Tetrad Shot provides affinity that the weapon doesn't innately have.

The Singha Sharanga has the best offensive stats amongst the Ice Bows, and its -10% Affinity is cancelled out by the build. It also carries Tetrad Shot for more damage.

Though Zoh Shia's weapon is out, the Verzweiflung is still the best choice for Dragon Bow builds with its high 200 Dragon Element, as well as a great 20% Affinity. It also has Critical Element natively, allowing for the use of a Spread Jewel III.

The skill summary above takes note of all the skills if you use the Artian Weapon.

The Sere-Gore Adrenaline Bow Build focuses on the application of Adrenaline Rush to consistently increase your Raw Attack damage throughout the fight. This makes use of a 2-piece Gore Magala set paired with a 2-piece Seregios set to compliment their skills while also providing numerous decoration slots.

Slotting in max Agitator, Adrenaline Rush, and Antivirus will optimize the damage output of this build, while having max Constitution, Stamina Surge, and Evade Window 2 should keep you comfortable enough to take on any monster with ease.

Best Mantles to Use

Best Mantles	Explanation
Evasion Mantle	•　Provides longer invulnerability window for Perfect Dodges. •　Provides Attack Boost after successful perfect evade.

We highly recommend using the Evasion Mantle on this build for easier dodging when the Mantle is active. This synergizes extremely well for the Sere-Gore Adrenaline Bow build as the mantle also provides an Attack Boost after a perfect dodge.

Best Secondary Weapons

Weapon & Type	Explanation
Inspired Ywain (Dual Blades)	•　Dual Blades can make excellent use of the builds' skills, both offensively and comfort-wise. •　The Inspired Ywain is at the pinnacle of the Dual Blades options, sporting all-around great stats.

Playstyle and Combos

The general gameplay of this build from the previous build will not change as much, except for the consideration of Adrenaline Rush's activation.

Before starting combat, load up on Coatings, such as Power Coatings, Close-Range Coatings, or whatever your equipped bow has access to for boosting damage or applying status effects. Note that you can load Coatings on the Seikret while on the way to the monster.
Start working up your charge levels to fire Power Volley strings at the monster's weak point, while also activating Burst; alternatively, fire a Tracer first using Ready Tracer before beginning your attacks.
After enough attacks, Antivirus will activate off of clearing Frenzy from Black Eclipse.
Use Discerning Dodge to avoid damage and increase your raw attack damage with Adrenaline Rush, but also as a tool to refill both Stamina and the Trick Arrow Gauge.
Don't forget to reload Coatings to keep your damage boosted during a fight, or to keep applying different statuses to the monster.
Use the Bow's Focus Strike for a free Dragon Piercer follow-up on monster wounds. You can also use Dragon Piercer, or Thousand Dragons, as a combo-ender on low stamina.

This build capitalizes on Discerning Dodge to consistently increase your Raw Attack damage and refill your stamina gauge to continue attacking with ease. We recommend mastering your perfect dodges to keep your damage output steady throughout the fight.
