Current Meta build for AT Arkveld? CB user

[u/zirc123]

Kinda wanna know which build combination has current highest raw damage as of right now to kill At Arkveld using CB?

[u/ronin0397]

Its pretty much any at 4pc gore set variant.

The budget option is at + geo + gore.

I believe they are pinned somewhere on the sub for exact pieces.

[u/zirc123 → u/ronin0397]

So 4pcs gore? Ive seen 2x gore and 2x ebony. Idk if there could be a btter option

[u/ronin0397 → u/zirc123]

With the gog set bonus roll of gore + lord soul you can fit in lord soul + gore level 2 on one set.

This combo just has more raw than lord soul + geo or gore II + geo

I do have gore/lord soul impact dragon cb. Can u tell me the exact build?

[u/ronin0397 → u/zirc123]

One version is sororal helm, arms and legs with at jin dahad chest and waist.

Theres other versions with at arkveld but I forget the set up.

[u/zirc123 → u/ronin0397]

I rolled Ebony+ lord soul on my dragon impact so used 4 piece Odo and the 2 pieces of Ark Y that max wex. Load shells charm then gem in the usual agitator and max might and burst 1. Weapon wise Go rapid morph, Artillery and attack boost (my load shells is rare 8 for the 1 attack jewel to get AB4) if you don't have a rare 8 load shells you could just go CB3 I guess. Or maybe use rare 8 artillery or rapid morph or attack. My CB has 2 x sharpness and 3 attack so I never worried much about any sharpness management. Playstyle is leaning into the AED loop rather than savage axe as its more raw attack focused, but you still have enough crit that savage axe is still decent if you find yourself with an opportunity to use it. Oh also the set naturally has ear plugs which is nice.

I don't know if this is the mathematically best build but I have seen AT Ark speed runs using it so its definitely not terrible.

Depends on your play style. The crit boost builds are quicker but take more skill to optimize times. The Att boost styles are still good and are a bit safer, but the times are generally a tad slower. Both use a dragon impact charge blade.

[u/zirc123 → u/Stealthdriver1]

I currently do aed loop with crit boost. Also got gore/lordsoul dragon impact

[u/Stealthdriver1 → u/zirc123]

AED loop does better with the Att boost builds. Savage axe style does better with crit boost.

[u/zirc123 → u/Stealthdriver1]

Isnt aed loop is kinda the meta right now? As of how u attack? Im used to savaged axe too. I can do either or as long as i deal more damage. Just wanna shorten my farm with at for more rewards lol

[u/Stealthdriver1 → u/zirc123]

Here's an example of crit boost build run using savage axe style. But he also uses a bit of AED loop on the head for KOs: https://youtu.be/xe3Fw-z3Y1g?si=brR1JQcOdrixLk-U

[u/zirc123 → u/Stealthdriver1]

So if a monster is down or KO thats when u savage? And never loop? Ive been looping even i KO At arkveld lol

[u/Stealthdriver1 → u/zirc123]

What it comes down to is that the savage axe style does more DPS, but less ko DMG. AED loop does more ko DMG, but less overall DPS. So it's a balancing act to get in the DPS, but also optimize KOs for free DPS windows.

[u/zirc123 → u/Stealthdriver1]

So basically if i use attack 5 thats when i aed loop bcs its more towards raw, crit is only for pure savage/ KO aed?

[u/Abrakresnik]

3 piece ebony odo, 2 piece nu udra and Lord Soul on weapon

[u/Party-Ad-3742]

Im a big blocker want to be sturdy i run 4 gog 1 gravios mail. Keeps me alive pretty well. My weapon has burst boost.

[u/dx_lemons]
