How to play it

Any monster

Break wounds to heal: Decimator restores health every time you destroy a wound, and the Long Sword's Focus Strike thrust can pop several at once, so a low health bar refills in one move. Flayer 2 makes wounds easier to open in the first place. Keep countering with Quick Sheathe 3, and slot whatever comfort jewels you have (Divine Blessing here) into the single slots.

Synergies

Why each skill is in the set

Decimator I2 pts
Decimator: heal on every wound
The Guardian Arkveld Helm and Mail (the Low Rank versions) make two points of Guardian Arkveld's Vitality for Decimator I: destroying a wound on a large monster restores a moderate amount of health. Focus Strikes that pop two or three wounds at once refill you completely.
FlayerDecimator I2 pts
Flayer 2 opens the wounds
Each Guardian Arkveld piece carries Flayer 1: wounds open faster, and the skill adds a small non-elemental hit on buildup. More wounds means more Decimator heals.
Quick SheatheBurst
Quick Sheathe 3 with Sheathe Charm II
Upgrading the charm to Sheathe Charm II (Quick Sheathe 2) plus the High Rank Alloy Coil α or Greaves α keeps Quick Sheathe 3 while freeing the other slots. G. Ebony Braces add a point of Burst.
Critical StatusPoison Duration UpAttack Boost
Rathian blade
Wyvern Blade "Verde" I has decent raw, 15% affinity and 140 poison, with Critical Status 2 and Poison Duration Up 1. An Attack Jewel II and an Expert jewel add Attack Boost 2 and Critical Eye 1.

Swaps

If you are missing a piece

The single armor slots take any comfort jewel: Protection (Divine Blessing), Speed Eating or Steadfast (Stun Resistance). One of the four is left free here.
