How to play it

Any monster

Hit hard with raw and let the impact phials add fixed damage wherever they land: Artillery 3 raises them and they ignore hitzones. Keep attacking to overcome Black Eclipse's Frenzy; Antivirus 3 makes it faster and adds affinity when you do. Guard 3 and Guard Up 1 let you block most attacks on the shield. Shock Absorber stops teammates from knocking you out of combos in multiplayer. It has no mobility skill, so it plays a little static.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

ArtilleryGuardLoad Shells
Artillery 3 on G. Abiding Gawain
G. Abiding Gawain has 240 raw, impact phials and Guard 2. Artillery Jewel III maxes Artillery, which raises the fixed damage of every phial burst; the Magazine/Ironwall jewel adds Load Shells 2 and the third Guard point, the Shield jewel one level of Guard Up.
Black Eclipse I2 ptsAntivirus
Black Eclipse I from the Gore coil and greaves
Gore Coil β and Gore Greaves β give Gore Magala's Tyranny 2, Black Eclipse I: Frenzy infects you against large monsters. Overcome it by dealing damage for bonus affinity, or take extra damage if you cannot. Antivirus 3 (the greaves plus two Sane jewels) makes overcoming it easier. Nulberries also clear the Frenzy bar.
Weakness ExploitAgitator
Weakness Exploit 5 with one Tenderizer jewel
Dahaad Shardhelm α, Arkvulcan Mail β and G. Arkveld Vambraces β carry four points of Weakness Exploit; one Tenderizer jewel makes five. Agitator 5 comes from the helm, Challenger Charm III and the Challenger jewels.
Agitator
Agitator on purpose over the cap
With Challenger Charm III the two Challenger jewels overshoot Agitator to 6 points, capped at 5. Darcblade leaves it that way so a first playthrough with only Challenger Charm II still reaches Agitator 5.
Divine BlessingFlinch FreeConstitution
Divine Blessing 3 and Flinch Free
Three Protection jewels in the Guardian Arkveld vambraces give Divine Blessing 3, a chance to reduce incoming damage. Gore Greaves β brings Flinch Free 1 and Gore Coil β Constitution 2.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

Elemental version: Bardichion Blade from the Rathalos tree, fire with Critical Boost 3, with Blaze/Crit Elem Jwl, Magazine Jewel II and a Shield Jewel in its 3-2-1 slots. Darcblade carries it as his second weapon.
With Challenger Charm III, one Challenger jewel is spare: a Chain Jewel there adds Burst 1.
Shockproof Jewel only matters in multiplayer; solo, use the slot for anything.

G. Abiding Gawain with Artillery Jewel III [3], Magazine/Ironwall Jwl [3], Shield Jewel [1]; Dahaad Shardhelm α, Arkvulcan Mail β, G. Arkveld Vambraces β, Gore Coil β, Gore Greaves β; Challenger Charm III; Rocksteady Mantle. That reaches Artillery 3, Load Shells 2, Weakness Exploit 5, Agitator 5 with Black Eclipse I.

When should I use the Budget Gore Charge Blade build?

Any monster. A Charge Blade build with no Gogma Artian weapon, no rolled charm and no transcended slots, meant for farming the endgame gear: G. Abiding Gawain with impact phials and Artillery 3, Black Eclipse from two Gore pieces with Antivirus 3, and Weakness Exploit 5 with Agitator 5 and Maximum Might 2 for affinity.

What makes this a budget build?

Nothing depends on luck: no Gogma Artian roll, no rolled charm and no transcended slots. Darcblade transcends the Gore pieces only for defense, which does not change the build.

Impact or element phials for a budget Charge Blade?

Impact phials with Artillery work on any monster because they ignore hitzones. Element phials hit harder when you match a weakness, so keep the Rathalos version for monsters weak to fire.
