How to play it

Soft skin · HZV 45+

Darcblade built it to farm the endgame materials for the stronger builds, and it trains you to play Dual Blades aggressively. Damage is decent as long as the element matches the monster. It has no sharpness management, and if you fail to overcome Black Eclipse you take double damage.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

Black Eclipse I2 ptsAntivirus
Black Eclipse and Antivirus
Gore Mail β and Gore Greaves β give Gore Magala's Tyranny: overcome the modified Frenzy by dealing damage and, with Antivirus 3, it turns into a 25% bonus to base affinity.
Burst Boost I2 ptsCritical Boost
Burst Boost before HR 100
G. Ebony Helm β and G. Ebony Braces β both come from Guardian Ebony Odogaron, gear you can craft before Hunter Rank 100, and together they unlock Burst Boost: Burst lasts longer and grants +8 raw while active. With Critical Boost 5 on the same set, the fire Wyvern Lovers gains both raw and crit damage without any endgame piece.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

Other elements, same jewels: Gore Magala Dual Blades for dragon, Nu Udra Dual Blades for water, Jin Dahaad Dual Blades for ice, Zenogga for thunder. Weapon skills differ, so Critical Boost and Critical Element levels change.
On a first playthrough you will likely have Exploiter Charm II; the Tenderizer jewel then keeps Weakness Exploit at 5 (with Charm III it is one point over).
