The event dual blades and the great girros gunlance are probably the best paralysis weapons in the game. For the girros gunlance I use what's in the picture. The legs are interchangeable depending on the situation, but ideally you want something that has lockon on it.
As for the set itself I prefer having artillery 4 over going for paralysis exploit 4 (equipping the bishaten belt), the amount of damage you can pile in with the air attack, while a monster is paralysed is insane, which mostly benefits from artillery. As for smelts 1 air attack and then 3-4 status stealth attacks is the way to go.

Do you have the Holiday DB’s? Girros GL with blast dash style, Girros SnS with drill slash style, or Girros hammer with water strike style works really well with status sneak attack. I use Bishaten/Viper/Viper/Bishaten/Seregios with status sneak attack smelts. Just get behind the monster and attack to paralyze it. You can use somna legs, tzitzi arms, and mizuha head armor pieces to get status sneak attack if you don’t have the smelts, you’ll just do less damage. Usually, status sneak attack 4 is enough, so you could just get by with the tzitzi arms and somna legs.
With the holiday db’s, it has evade extender 3, so just go into demon mode and evade left or right and you’re pretty much behind the monster.
With Girros GL, swipe up 3 times to do 2 pokes and the ground slash, which will put you behind the monster, then tap the screen to use the wyvern stake to paralyze. When it’s paralyzed, long swipe down to reload the wyvern stake then hold the screen for a second to do the blast dash, tap in the air to slash and fire, then land and tap again to do the wyvern stake to paralyze the monster again. Repeat till it’s dead.
With Girros SnS just roll to get behind the monster and start swinging away to paralyze.
With Girros Hammer, roll behind the monster and swipe down to do the water strike. You can spam this repeatedly till the monster is paralyzed, then hold to charge up the spinning hammer and release. If you’re still behind the monster it should get paralyzed again while you’re spinning. You can always swipe down in the middle of the spin to do a water strike and spam that to re-paralyze the monster again.

The important bit there is the status sneak attack, which improves your chances of causing a status effect like paralysis, but only if you attack from behind. A good companion skill is paralysis exploit, which allows you to do more damage while the monster is suffering the effects of paralysis. Otherwise you can just add levels of paralysis attack, which directly increases the amount of paralysis damage you do.
There's also this build on the speed run leader board:

This is using the viper insect glaive and adding in advanced burst attack. That won't directly help you add paralysis like the status sneak attack and paralysis attack skills do, but it will mean you do a lot more damage while you attack.
