How to play it

Soft skin · HZV 45+

Darcblade recommends it for Arch-tempered Arkveld and similar fights. Flayer makes wounds easy to open for Focus Strikes, which also helps teammates who rely on wounds such as Insect Glaive players. It lacks defensive skills (no Divine Blessing), so it relies on the Demon Mode perfect evade, and it needs a rolled charm of similar quality.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

Black Eclipse I2 ptsCoalescenceAntivirus
Black Eclipse into Coalescence
Gore Coil α and the weapon roll give Gore Magala's Tyranny: a modified Frenzy that you overcome by dealing damage (or with Nulberries), turning it into up to 25% bonus affinity with Antivirus 3. Overcoming it also triggers Coalescence for extra elemental attack.
Flayer
Flayer 5
Makes wounds easier to inflict and periodically releases a burst of non-elemental damage, so Focus Strikes come up more often.
Hasten Recovery II4 ptsGuts (Tenacity)4 pts
Healing on hit and one saved death
Four Arkvulcan γ pieces give Hasten Recovery I and II: health comes back as you keep landing hits, which matters on a build with no Divine Blessing that relies on Demon Mode evades. The same pieces carry Lord's Soul: Guts trades defense for raw until it saves you from one lethal hit, then turns into defense and resistances.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

Another element: swap the three Dragon jewels for the same jewels of the weapon's element.
The rolled charm (Critical Eye 3, Agitator 1, two armor slots and one weapon slot) is Darcblade's own; a different roll changes the Critical Eye and Agitator levels.
