This build can increase Affinity up to 75% without Weakness Exploit. Even if the Stamina added by "Fulgur Anjanath's Will (Second Wind I)" is reduced, the effect of "Maximum Might" does not expire. And when "Constitution Lv5" is activated, the additional Stamina consumed by Foresight Slash will be reduced by the amound used, so you will be able to continue fighting without losing the effects of Maximum Might.

This build can increase Affinity up to 75% without Weakness Exploit. The effect of "Maximum Might" does not expire even if the amount of Stamina added by "Fulgur Anjanath's Will (Second Wind I)" is reduced. Because "Counterstrike" is raised to level 2, "Constitution" is now only Lv3, so be sure to activate the Stamina reduction obtained from adding Droolshroom to a meal.

This is an equipment piece that can increase Affinity to a maximum of 75% without using Weakness Exploit. Even if the stamina added by the effect of 'FulgurAnjanath's Will Second Wind I decreases, the effect of Maximum Might does not disappear. Additionally, when you activate ConstitutionLv5, the stamina consumed by Foresight Slash will be reduced by the additional amount, allowing you to move around without running out of Maximum Might.
Weapons Can Be Gore Long Sword or Rathian Long Sword
The current weapon is the Paralysis Long Sword, but if you're aiming for more fire power, we suggest Rathian's Wyvern Blade Holly or Gore Magala's Stahlrecht. All of these weapons offer high Affinity and complement this equipment well, so feel free to pick the one you prefer.

This is a Water-element equipment set featuring Uth Duna's Long Sword, and while its Attack and Element values are high, its Affinity is negative, and its initial Sharpness is blue, so Handicraft is required. Since its performance is more difficult to utilize compared to other elemental weapons, we recommend crafting the Artian Long Sword instead of other elemental options.
