How to play it

Any monster

Stay aggressive: Burst builds attack and element as you keep hitting, and Burst Boost adds +8 attack and a longer Burst while it lasts. Keep countering with Special Sheathe (Quick Sheathe 3) and the damage numbers climb fast. Two Protection jewels add Divine Blessing 2 for the odd hit you take. NinoMMO: with this set you finish Low Rank easily.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

BurstBurst Boost I3 pts
Burst 3 and Burst Boost from three G. Ebony pieces
Guardian Ebony Odogaron helm, braces and coil each give Burst 1 and a point of Ebony Odogaron's Power. Two points unlock Burst Boost I: Burst lasts longer and grants +8 attack while it is active, so staying on the monster pays twice.
Critical ElementMaster's Touch
Critical Element on the G. Rathalos blade
Wyvern Blade "Ash" I has 210 fire and Critical Element 1, so fire crits deal extra elemental damage. Master's Touch 1 also gives an 80% chance to lose no sharpness on a crit, which matters more later.
Quick SheatheDivine Blessing
Quick Sheathe 3 and Divine Blessing 2
Balahara Mail, Alloy Greaves and Sheathe Charm I keep Quick Sheathe 3. The single slots on the G. Ebony helm and braces take Protection jewels for Divine Blessing 2.
