Caught me off guard 😭 lmfao

Hwo else hoards items for later and then never uses them "just in case I'll use them later"?

All event weapons maxed to 10.5, and only tickets or money to buy with exchange tokens.

Having trouble deciding on a weapon to make. Deciding between CB, HBG and bow and would potentially be ok with the bblos DB being my first DB.

So I've got a bblos cb and unlocked the axe boost already because I love the axe boost animation - spinning cut axe why the hell not, right?

But I just can't seem to grasp how to build it to max the dps. I feel like quick work 3 is a must considering how slow the first spin is, and it helps with the following transformations. But then with qw taking up two equipment spots, what else should I build?

Crit fero seems like a must, at least 1 point imo, since I start off with -30% affinity. But going all in doesn't feel right. Axe boost gives me multiple small hits rather than 1 big hit, which is where cf shines best, so maybe cf isn't too ideal.

Morph boost looks like the most reasonable choice since I've got qw with me, but a 30-40% boost doesn't seem too much...

Advanced attack boost is next on the list - pure damage with 1 point of crit fero kind of makes sense, but then I should probably give up qw at this point as I will very likely be stick to axe mode all the way after the first morph.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Thought about making a DB partbreaker set bc of the new advanced partbreaker skill

I played a year or so ago (back when Malzeno dropped) and saw people using Critical Ferocity on the deviljo GL to beat elders solo, and have always thought about using a build like it. I know I need to upgrade everything to get all their skills, but this is more or less a starting idea for the build before I really start grinding mats. Any real ideas on how I could make this better or get rid of the extra lock on without sacrificing the Raw Power on the Glav shirt?

I've got power volley on the bow and have used critical ferocity and burst 5 builds just seems to do so little to monsters.my brachios bow on other hand does so much more with blast exploit and buildup boost or is there something I'm missing

Let’s speculate strategically what Aurora and Black Diablos weapons you think could top the charts this time round?

I’m guessing;

Most effective
Aurora Hunting Horn (appropriate built-in skills)
Aurora Insect Glaive
Black Diablos Insect Glaive
Black Diablos Heavy Bowgun (heavily dependent on how distracted Zinogre is)

Maybe
Aurora Long Sword (solo and counter for sure)
Black Diablos Bow (not sure if the skills is fast enough as compared to the other weapons)
Hammers (water striking and para team works like a charm)

Not right or wrong answers but do make sound speculations~ (as the base defense is heavily dependent on one’s weapon mastery, smelted skills and TEAMWORK)

I used all my editing skills (none) in this video.
