How to play it

Soft skin · HZV 45+

Latent Power triggers after fighting a large monster for a while or taking enough damage, and Thunderous Roar keeps it active longer. Darcblade calls it easy to craft: Rey Dau γ is a reachable farm and the charm is a crafted one, the Gogmapocalypse roll being the only hard part. Outside Latent Power windows the damage is lower, and sharpness can run short.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

Thunderous Roar II4 ptsLatent Power
Thunderous Roar extends Latent Power
Four Rey Sand γ pieces unlock Rey Dau's Voltage I and II, which lengthen how long Latent Power stays active once it triggers.
Mutual Hostility I2 pts
Mutual Hostility I
Gogmazios Coil α plus the Gogmapocalypse roll: more elemental attack while the monster is enraged.
Guts (Tenacity)4 ptsLatent Power
Guts backs up Latent Power
The four γ pieces carry Lord's Soul. Its Guts effect lowers defense for bonus raw and lets you survive one lethal hit, after which the bonus turns into defense and resistances. Taking damage is also one of the two ways to trigger Latent Power, so the hits Guts lets you survive feed the affinity window.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

Another element: swap the three Stream jewels for the same jewels of the weapon's element.
Exploiter Charm III can be replaced if you cover Weakness Exploit elsewhere.
