Recommended Talisman Skills	・Destruction Art ・One Stroke: Fury ・Provocation ・Defense Boost

Build Merits	This build provides players with the perfect gear set for hunting Volatile and Deeply Volatile Kemono. The build focuses on parry mastery and building the Bladed Wagasa's weapon gauge faster through parries to obtain stronger combos and higher damage outputs. The weapon build path focuses on stacking skills like Sublime Dance to extend the Bladed Wagasa's weapon gauge timer, Parry Boost: Fury to increase attack damage after a successful parry, and the Bladed Wagasa-specific skill Dodge Master to extend the parry timing for more successful parries. The armor chosen for this build primarily serves as a complement to the weapon build. An important skill to get is Provocation from the Sable Mara armor, this makes Kemono target players more often giving players more parry opportunities to build their gauge faster. To finalize the build, we recommend equipping talisman skills like Destruction Art and One Stroke: Fury to boost attack damage after breaking Kemono parts, as well as Provocation to boost the chances of Kemono targeting players. Defense Boost is also recommended as the armor chosen for this build has low defense points.

Recommended Talisman Skills	・Grab Master ・Tangle Resilience ・Tangle Recovery ・Critical Master

Build Merits	This build provides the perfect gear set for players against Amaterasu and mighty Kemono in Harugasumi Way. The weapon build focuses on critical hits that profit from the Gleaming Corvid Wagasa's default 10% critical chance and the Bladed Wagasa's fast-attacking pattern. Additionally, the Gleaming Corvid Wagasa has a Wind affinity which is a weakness of Amaterasu, leading to higher damage outputs. Our recommended armor is the Great Juniper set as it focuses on Wood Resistance and comes with Strong Arm skill bonuses that can help with survivability. The armor set also comes with the Fusion Master skill which is important for the Harpoon Karakuri, this extends the pin time of the Amaterasu; leaving it open for more attacks. To finalize the build, we recommend equipping talisman skills that further boost the skills already in this build like Grab Master to further improve the chances of getting Strong Arm buffs, and skills like Critical Master to increase the chances of dealing critical hits.

Recommended Talisman Skills	・Destruction Art ・Savage ・Tiger's Den

Build Merits	This build provides players with the perfect gear path and armor set when hunting Deathstalker. The weapon build focuses on dealing fire elemental damage which is a weakness of Deathstalker. This build also adds the Heavenly Dance skill to improve the charge rate of the Bladed Wagasa's weapon gauge which grants more powerful attacks and combos that can help with the fight. Adding the Tiger's Den should not be a problem for players as the Freezing Recovery skill from the Bandit armor set should mitigate its side effects. Our recommended armor set is the Bandit set as it provides high resistance to both fire and water elements and comes with both damage and defense skills which are important for hunting Deathstalker. Leaning to a Pure-Kemono path build of this armor grants players valuable skills for damage and survivability like One Stroke: Fury as well as Resurrection. To round up the build, we recommend talismans that boost damage and synergize with the skills present in this gear set. Skills such as Destruction Art work well with One Stroke: Fury as it makes parts easier to break, allowing players to gain the damage boost from the latter skill. Damage boosts such as Savage and Tiger's Den should be safe to add in this build as the armor set already provides enough survivability skills for a normal Kemono.

Build Merits	This build provides players with a strong gear set against Cobalt Lavaback for farming gear when hunting Deathstalker. The weapon build focuses on building the Bladed Wagasa weapon gauge to gain access to powerful combos and damage output. Parry Perfection synergizes well with Heavenly Dance as it further boosts the gauge fill upon a successful parry. Additionally, the Yashima Bladed Wagasa has the highest raw damage output at this point of the game, which makes this weapon stand out among others. Our recommended armor is the All-Black armor set that is obtainable after defeating Fumebeak. This armor set has a combined total of 20 resistance to fire-based attacks and grants access to unique skills like Lunar Protection and Sprint Master when using its Kemono-path variants. Furthermore, Provocation is an important skill to obtain from this set as it allows Kemono to attack players more frequently for them to parry and build their weapon gauge. In addition to the build, we recommend equipping talismans that boost defense and attack and can synergize with some skills in this gear set. One Stroke: Fury pairs well with Destruction Art as it boosts damage output after breaking a Kemono part. Savage and Defense Boost are also great skills to add to further boost damage and defense.
