need to see their skills. xeno set not very good for melee.

example mix and match i got earplug5, handicraft4, weak exploit3 (w/o gems). personally i feel very much better then xeno set alot (for melee).

PS. recommend everyone go experience earplug. now i can't live w/o earplug. its either 0 or 5, don't bother with lv2/3/4.

But if mix and match, the total defense not very high?

Hey there,

Try not to focus too much on defense first, put em on 2nd priority because later on you can upgrade it with armor sphere to compensate the lower defence.

Try to mix and match armor for now like for example i have three pieces of Teostra piece to provide me with the what’s called the Teostra Technique which cause my weapon to not lose sharpness upon critical hits, also it has maxed out weakness and exploit which cause hits to the weak parts of the monster to be have increased critical chances.

For my head armor i chose the glasses that gives three points into my Expert skills which gives me more chances to get a critical hit.

Next is my charm i too also chose the master’s charm and fully upgrade it to level 3 and it also adds another three points into expert, even more critical chances!

Lastly my chest gives me faster stamina recovery or constitution to reduce stamina drain speed.

Most of this armor guide can be found online so go ahead and copy them like how we roll!

Regarding the mix and match of armour set, is it necessary or can I just go for a full set of a particular armour? Let’s say I have the full xeno armour which is the highest defense armour I can crafft now.

its the standard route for Kirin. Its the Hr49 tempered version, you need to stalk it for tracks and unlock investigations before completing it

Just beat the HR100 optional quest fighting 3 elder dragons. Now really nothing left for me to do other than to grind for hero's streamstone to upgrade my weapons. So far I have 4 stones and none for bow or switchaxe. Stupid rng.

All the charms very useless le lol.

wyrmslayer charm if you are going to slay elder dragons. other than this still prefer attack and defence boost charms.

 

[kennerv]

Nergigante weapon seems quite good stats?

Nergigante weapon seems quite good stats?

yea its good, straight away high blue sharpness. for some weapons i feel xeno series is better. 2x 3slot gem hole. u're technically wearing bazelgeuse head/or belt (earplug2), or kushala body (handicraft2) on your weapon...

can share your bow build

Cera Coilbender
Kadachi Helm Beta
Kaiser Mail Beta
Kaiser Vambraces Alpha
Rath Soul Coil Alpha
Diablos Nero Greaves Beta
Attack Charm III
Affinity Booster
Vitality Mantle

Decorations:
Expert Jewel
Attack Jewel
Tenderizer Jewel
Vitality Jewel x3
Elementless Jewel

This is not optimal due to me refusing to use the fugly Dragon King Eyepatch. Fashion hunter FTW.

I get my Weakness Exploit from Kaiser Vambraces + Jewel to get lvl 3. If you use the Eye Patch, you can get replace Kaiser Vambraces with something else with lvl 2 gem slot to put Mighty Bow jewel (which I also have).

Diablos Nero Greaves can be interchanged with Lavasioth greaves which gives Spread/Power Shot instead of the Normal Shots. I chose the Diablos greaves as you will fire more normal shots than Dragon Piercer, and my Dragon Piercer is already boosted. Max damage dragon piercer looks really good if you're showing off in Youtube videos but it's not really needed.

The Vitality gems are just filler. Ideally, I would put 4x Attack gems and use Fitness charm instead, so that I can spam arrows like nobody's business. I only have 2 Attack Gems now since they are quite rare. If you are really anal about your Affinity, you can slot 5 Expert Jewels. If you Augment your weapon, you can cancel out the -ve Affinity of the Diablos bow completely. Meanwhile the Affinity Booster still works wonders.

Against specific enemies like Kirin or Vaal Hazark, you can easily swap out those filler slots with Resistance gems. This setup already has decent Fire & Thunder resist, and no negative as Dragon which are the 3 most important Element you should watch out.

You can see my damage is 323 which is considered very high for a bow. This build is to max raw damage with the Diablos bow.

The Vaal Hazak Armor has an absolutely insane set bonus. Having at least three pieces of the armor on gives you passive health regeneration at all times. While that may not seem earth-shattering on paper, it gets crazy when you take certain modifiers into account.

The Recovery Speed armor skill directly affects the health regeneration effect, which seems completely intentional considering the Alpha Vaal Hazak set has several points of it. For those unaware, Recovery Speed dramatically increases how quickly the red bit of your health bar regenerates, so seeing that crazy regenerative effect carry over to the rest of the health bar is dizzying, to say the least.

On top of all that, the Alpha set even has a skill called Full Charge, which increases your attack power at maximum health. Since you'll be at full health a lot with this armor, the skill is actually enticing and really rounds out an already nice set. It's definitely a set that's well worth the grind.
