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 General-purpose equipment that uses Weakness Exploit.

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.

Even if the stamina added by the effect of 'Fulgur Anjanath's Will (Second Wind I) decreases, the effect of Maximum Might will remain active.

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.

Weapon Skills	Critical Draw Lv1 Critical Status Lv1

The best weapon for early High Rank is the Barina Flamberge III. This also has Paralysis but with higher Attack. Rathian's Poison weapon "Wyvern Blade Verde I" is also a good option.

There are two recommended Armor for the Long Sword at early High Rank: The Alloy & the Rathian sets. Rathian's armor can increase Attack and Affinity when attacking monsters affected by either Paralysis or Poison with the skill "Foray".

Best Long Sword Equipment Up to HR40

Name		Sharpness
Barina Flamberge IV
Attack	Element	Affinity	Defense
594	Paralysis 210	15%	0
Weapon Skills	Critical Draw Lv2 Critical Status Lv1

The recommended weapon for up to HR40 is the Barina Flamberge IV. The Wyvern Blade Verde II is also a good alternative to those who want to deal higher raw damage.

A combination of G. Ebony Alpha armor and Commission armor is recommended for use up until HR40. It is due to the Quick Sheath Lv2 you gain from Commission armor.

Use Sheathe Talisman If You Can't Craft Commission Armor

To make Commission armor, you need to obtain Commission Tickets. If you are unable to create the armor yet, you can supplement it with the Sheathe Charm II to still have Quick Sheath Lv2 in your build. You can use Alloy or Uth Duna armor to replace the other piece.

Weapon Skills	Critical Draw Lv1 Critical Status Lv1

The recommended best early-game weapon for the Long Sword is the Barina Flamberge II. While its Attack stat is slightly on the lower side, its Paralysis Element is extremely powerful. It's a great choice for dealing with unfamiliar monsters.

The recommended best early-game equipment for the Long Sword includes three pieces of Guardian Ebony Equipment, which can be crafted in Chapter 3. The skill "Burst" increases firepower, and combining the last two pieces with a Talisman enables "Quick Sheath Lv3" to complete the armor set.

Long Sword Best Skills
