How to play it

Hit hard and cure the Frenzy: Black Eclipse infects you when a large monster is in the fight, dealing damage cures it and grants affinity, and Antivirus 3 makes the cure faster and adds 10% more. Keep attacking for Burst 4 and Burst Boost. The Barina Flamberge IV adds Critical Draw 2 and paralysis. NinoMMO: everything until HR 40 melts with this set, and it is the time to start crafting Exploiter Charm I.

Synergies

  1. Black Eclipse I3 ptsAntivirus

    Black Eclipse I and Antivirus 3 from three Gore pieces

    Gore Mail α, Gore Coil α and Gore Greaves β carry three points of Gore Magala's Tyranny for Black Eclipse I, and one point of Antivirus each for Antivirus 3. The Frenzy you get becomes bonus affinity once cured, and Antivirus 3 speeds up the cure and adds 10% affinity.

  2. BurstBurst Boost I2 ptsDivine Blessing

    Burst 4 and Burst Boost from two G. Ebony α pieces

    The High Rank Guardian Ebony Odogaron helm and braces α give Burst 2 each and two points of Ebony Odogaron's Power for Burst Boost I (+8 attack while Burst is active). The braces add Divine Blessing 1, which two Protection jewels take to 3.

  3. Quick Sheathe

    One mandatory Sheath jewel

    Sheathe Charm II gives Quick Sheathe 2; a single Sheath Jewel [1] in the Gore greaves finishes Quick Sheathe 3. NinoMMO calls it the one mandatory jewel of the set; they are not rare by HR 30.

  4. HandicraftCritical DrawCritical Status

    Weapon jewels

    Barina Flamberge IV has a 3 and a 2 slot: a Handicraft Jwl III and an Attack Jewel II here. Use whatever you have; the blade brings Critical Draw 2, Critical Status 1 and paralysis.

Swaps

  • The 3-slots on Gore Mail α, Gore Coil α and Gore Greaves β are left empty on purpose: fill them with any size 3 jewel you own, or even a size 1, anything is better than empty.
