How to play it

Soft skin · HZV 45+

Latent Power 5 gives +50% affinity and halves stamina use once it triggers (after a while in the fight or after taking enough damage), and Thunderous Roar I keeps it up 30 seconds longer. Azure Bolt builds up a thunderclap; when it fires you gain +15% affinity for 20 seconds. With both up and Weakness Exploit 5 on weak points, you go past 100% affinity. Lord's Soul adds 5% attack and lets you survive one lethal hit.

Why each skill is in the set

Guts (Tenacity)3 ptsThunderous Roar I3 pts
Lord's Soul from three Rey Dau γ pieces

Latent PowerThunderous Roar I3 pts
Latent Power 5 and Thunderous Roar
Rey Sandmail γ carries Latent Power 3, Lagiacrus Greaves β one more, and a Throttle jewel the fifth: +50% affinity. Thunderous Roar I adds 30 seconds to its runtime.
Azure Bolt I2 pts
Azure Bolt I from two Lagiacrus pieces
Lagiacrus Coil β and Greaves β make two points of Leviathan's Fury: a thunderclap builds up and grants +15% affinity for 20 seconds, then a 30 second cooldown.
Whiteflame TorrentCritical BoostHandicraft
Blazing Liel jewels
The Zoh Shia Dual Blades carry dragon element and Whiteflame Torrent, extra damage from time to time. Critical Jewel II and I give Critical Boost 3, and a Dragon/Handicraft jewel adds Dragon Attack 3 and Handicraft 1 for sharpness.
Weakness ExploitConstitutionEvade Window
Weakness Exploit 5 and the comfort jewels
Rey Sandhelm γ and the two Lagiacrus pieces give Weakness Exploit 4, a Tenderizer jewel the fifth (+30% affinity on weak points). Three Physique jewels reach Constitution 3, two Evasion jewels Evade Window 2, and a Chain jewel adds Burst 1.
