A raw impact-phial Charge Blade build that stacks four bonuses: Black Eclipse from Gore Magala's Tyranny for affinity after Frenzy, Binding Counter from two Jin Dahaad pieces for attack after every Power Clash, Hasten Recovery from two Arkveld pieces and Lord's Soul Guts, on top of Artillery 3, Critical Boost 3, Weakness Exploit 5 and Agitator 5.
Promised Abyss with Attack focus, which is the impact-phial version, upgraded to its Gogma form. Its element or status does not matter: Darcblade runs a paralysis one and a thunder one.
RolledGore Magala's Tyranny1Neopteron Camouflage1
Set skill: Gore Magala's Tyranny (the second Gore piece)
Group skill: Neopteron Camouflage (filler, any roll works)
Still a Savage Axe build, not a discharge spammer: Burst wants continuous hits and Critical Boost 3 pays off on every axe and sword swing even though impact phials cannot crit. Impact phials deal fixed damage from your raw attack and Artillery wherever they land, so aim them at the head: Slugger 1 helps the KO, and outside elder dragons they also exhaust the monster. Block into Power Clashes whenever the monster offers one: the Charge Blade is a shield weapon and Binding Counter adds attack after each clash. Keep hitting through Black Eclipse's Frenzy to overcome it; Antivirus 3 makes that faster.
Synergies
Why each skill is in the set
01ArtilleryLoad ShellsRapid Morph
Artillery 3 on impact phials
Impact phials deal fixed damage based on your raw attack and Artillery, regardless of the hitzone, which is why this build works on any monster. Artillery 3 comes from the rolled charm, which keeps all three weapon slots for Load Shells, Rapid Morph and Critical Boost.
02Black Eclipse I2 ptsAntivirus
Black Eclipse I from one Gore piece and the roll
Gore Greaves β and the Gore Magala's Tyranny roll give Black Eclipse I: you are infected with Frenzy against large monsters. Deal enough damage to overcome it for bonus affinity; fail and you take extra damage. Antivirus 3 from the greaves and two Sane jewels makes overcoming it faster and raises the affinity you gain.
03Binding Counter I2 pts
Binding Counter after every Power Clash
Dahaad Shardmail γ and Dahaad Shardcoil γ give Binding Counter I: attack rises after you recover from webbing, frostblight or a pin, and after a Power Clash. A shield weapon triggers clashes more than anything else, so the bonus is up often.
04Hasten Recovery I2 ptsGuts (Tenacity)4 pts
Hasten Recovery and Lord's Soul
Both Arkvulcan γ pieces carry Arkveld's Hunger (Hasten Recovery I heals you as you keep attacking) and all four γ pieces carry Lord's Soul: Guts boosts attack and lowers defense, lets you survive one lethal hit, then turns into a defense and resistance bonus.
05Critical BoostWeakness ExploitAgitator
Affinity stack for Critical Boost
Weakness Exploit 5 comes from the two Arkvulcan γ pieces alone. With Agitator 5 on the Dahaad pieces, Maximum Might 3 from three Mighty jewels, three affinity reinforcements and the Black Eclipse bonus, the -10% base affinity of the Attack-focus weapon turns into crits on most raw hits.
Swaps
If you are missing a piece
No charm with Artillery: put Artillery Jewel III in place of Quickswitch/KO Jwl (you lose Rapid Morph 3 and Slugger 1) and pick a Chain Charm III for Burst.
Darcblade's second weapon, a thunder Promised Abyss, swaps Magazine/Expert Jwl for Magazine/Ironwall Jwl: Guard 1 instead of Critical Eye 1.
The Phoenix jewel (Coalescence 1) and Growth Jewel (Self-Improvement 1) are optional; element is not what this build is about.
