How to play it

Any monster

Same loop as Low Rank, stronger: offset for Powerhouse II (+25 attack), then open every exchange with a draw attack, which always crits with Critical Draw 3. Quick Sheathe 3 makes the sheathe much faster so you can draw-attack again sooner. At HR 20 nothing changes: add better jewels as you find them and keep upgrading the weapon and armor.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

Critical Draw
Critical Draw 3: every draw attack crits
Buster Sword III carries Critical Draw 3, +100% affinity on draw attacks. Unsheathing straight into a charged slash is a guaranteed crit, which is how the Great Sword plays best.
Powerhouse II5 pts
Powerhouse II carries over
The five High Rank Doshaguma pieces still give four points of Doshaguma's Might for Powerhouse II: +25 attack after every successful offset.
Quick Sheathe
Quick Sheathe 3 for more draw attacks
Sheathe Charm II and one Sheath jewel reach Quick Sheathe 3. A faster sheathe means more draw attacks, and every one of them is a crit.
Speed EatingDivine Blessing
Comfort jewels in the free slots
Three Gobbler jewels give Speed Eating 3 (faster potions) and three Protection jewels Divine Blessing 3. NinoMMO's advice: put in whatever jewels you have, and Attack jewels in the weapon.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

HR 20: same set, no change. Swap in better jewels as you get them and upgrade to any stronger High Rank Great Sword.
The 2-slots are left free here: fill them with anything you own.
